Navarasa
Thilagam
Plot:
Ma
Ka
Pa
Anand
plays
that
cliched
role
you
can
find
in
every
alternative
comical
Tamil
flicks
and
the
character
played
by
Karunakaran,
who
plays
the
hero's
sidekick
is
no
exception.
These
two
lead
a
carefree
life
and
end
up
losing
money
in
the
name
of
business,
gaining
the
wrath
of
Anand's
father,
played
by
Ilavarasu.
The
movie
takes
a
deviation
when
Anand
meets
the
leading
lady,
played
by
Srushti
Dange,
post
which
him
falling
in
love
with
her
is
rest
assured.
When
he
plans
to
get
closer
to
her
family
by
befriending
the
guy
(Siddharth
Vipin)
engaged
to
Srushti's
elder
sister,
he
realizes
something
crucial
in
accordance
with
his
own
love
life.
Suddenly,
Anand's
sole
mission
is
to
stop
Siddharth
Vipin's
marriage.
What's
the
reason
behind
his
action
and
will
his
love
towards
Srushti
end
up
in
marriage?
Answers
to
these
questions
forms
the
rest
of
the
story.
Performances:
Ma
Ka
Pa
Anand
as
an
irresponsible
youth
is
convincing
enough.
Having
said
that,
he
fails
to
emote
well
in
certain
scenes
that
requires
him
to
convey
the
turn
of
events.
Unlike
her
previous
flicks,
Srushti
Dange
gets
a
prominent
role
in
Navarasa
Thilagam
and
she
accepts
the
opportunity
with
open
arms.
Siddharth
Vipin
is
a
treat
to
watch.
Scenes
involving
him
evoke
laughter
genuinely
and
is
a
major
plus
of
this
film.
Veterans
like
Ilavarasu
and
Jayaprakash
add
solidity
in
the
performance
department.
Cinematography
by
A
Ramesh
is
passable.
But
one
might
feel
that
the
cameraman
should've
used
more
vibrant
colours
to
accentuate
the
beauty
of
villages
captured.
Music
by
Siddharth
Vipin
is
below
par.
Both
his
songs
and
background
score
fail
to
impress.
To
make
things
worse,
placement
of
songs
are
badly
muddled.
Editing
by
Arul
Mozhi
Varman
could've
been
better
as
the
film
looks
stretched
at
many
places,
testing
its
audiences'
patience.
Screenplay
by
director
Kamran
is
below
average
throughout
and
fails
to
hold
your
interest
after
certain
point
in
time.
Overall
View:
Overall,
Navarasa
Thilagam
is
a
cliched
comedy
flick
that
succeeds
in
making
you
laugh
only
in
parts.
