If
you're
an
ardent
fan
of
Bram
Stoker's
Dracula,
then
you
will
join
me
in
saying
that
this
film
is
the
worst
tribute
ever
to
the
renowned
novelist.
If
you're
an
aspiring
filmmaker,
then
this
film
would
be
of
some
interest
as
it
helps
one
understand
how
not
to
make
a
film,
especially
if
it
is
an
adapted
screenplay.
There
are
so
many
ways
to
pay
tribute
to
someone
the
world
loves,
but
this
is
just
not
the
way
you
want
to
do
it.
Newly-wed
couple,
Roy
and
Priya,
of
all
the
places,
decide
to
go
to
Transylvania,
Romania
for
their
honeymoon.
Upon
arriving
in
Romania,
Roy
ventures
deep
into
the
fortress
of
Dracula,
in
search
of
the
long
forgotten
urban
legend.
Along
the
course
of
the
journey,
he
summons
the
spirit
of
Dracula,
only
to
allow
it
to
surge
into
his
body.
Roy
is
now
Dracula,
and
in
his
new
avatar,
he
kills
his
wife
and
makes
his
way
into
Kerala
to
quench
his
thirst
for
blood.
The
rest
of
the
story
follows
the
escapades
of
Dracula
in
Nankam
Pirai.
When
was
the
last
time
a
Dracula
movie
made
you
laugh?
I
highly
doubt
it!
But
here
is
a
film,
which
was
supposed
to
scare
the
bejesus
out
of
its
audience,
only
ends
up
being
a
worst
joke.
Everything
in
the
film
makes
you
laugh
-
from
the
costumes
to
make-up
to
desperate
women
ready
to
shed
their
clothes.
The
laugh
part
here
doesn't
mean
entertaining,
but
mostly
all
the
appalling
moments
portrayed
on
screen
in
the
name
of
filmmaking.
Another
big
turn
off
is
the
use
of
3D!
God
knows
why,
in
this
film,
which
doesn't
deserve
to
be
watched
at
the
first
place,
let
alone
in
any
format.

Nankam
Pirai
Review
To
add
to
the
woes,
there's
a
sub-plot
about
Dracula's
love
story,
which
dates
back
to
centuries
and
tells
us
why
Lord
Dracula
became
a
blood-sucking
vampire.
Nankam
Pirai
Review
This
only
proves
that
neither
the
director
nor
the
film
had
a
purpose
in
the
first
place
to
achieve.
Few
instances
in
the
film
highlight
that
since
times
have
changed,
stories
change
too.
Nankam
Pirai
Review
However,
the
questions
is,
will
a
story
originally
written
in
1897
change
too
because
from
what
is
shown
in
the
film,
it
doesn't
make
sense.
Nankam
Pirai
Review
Had
it
been
made
as
a
spoof
of
the
original
character
with
some
sensible
lines
and
scenes,
then
one
could
refrain
from
complaining.
The
characterisation
is
awful
and
can
make
you
storm
out
of
the
door
the
minute
credits
roll
down
the
screen.
Nankam
Pirai
Review
Verdict:
If
there's
one
film
you
wish
you
didn't
watch,
then
it
ought
to
be
Nankam
Pirai.
