By Prakash Upadhyaya

Dhanush has not delivered a big hit in the recent times in Kollywood. He has been due for a big hit in Tamil films after critically-acclaimed movie Aadukalam.

It gave a good publicity and made people to curiously await for the release. How far it has helped the movie? Read review to know it...

Sarkunam draws your attention with the narration. The credit card gives an introduction about the characters. Dhanush is shown as a careless guy, who is at his uncle's place. He has two elder unmarried brothers played by Sriman and Sathyan. His daily life begins and ends with his cousin Soori (Soori). He is in love with dentist Vana Roja (Nazriya Nazim), who has come to the village to stay with her grandma for some days. With the support of his gang, he does several tricks to impress her.

Naiyaandi Movie Review

Naiyaandi Movie Review

The story of Naiyaandi is partially engaging and there are a few well-written one-liners. Dhanush and his side-kicks struggle hard to bring laughter on the faces of the audience.

Decent Story

Decent Story

No doubt, Sarkunam has got a decent story in hand. But the screenplay and scenes are badly written. Apart from interesting introduction, there is hardly anything fresh in the movie.

Inspired By Meleparambil Aanveedu

Inspired By Meleparambil Aanveedu

Having taken inspiration from Malayalam movie Meleparambil Aanveedu, the director has lost complete control over the screenplay in Naiyaandi.

First And Second Halves

First And Second Halves

There is nothing engaging in the first half. It is only second half, which has something to offer to the audience.

Performances

Performances

Dhanush has done his usual job. He is good and has lived up to his character. Soori, Sathyan, Pyramid Natarajan and other characters have played their parts well.

Nazriya Nazim Steals Show

Nazriya Nazim Steals Show

Nazriya Nazim, who was in the news for wrong reasons, emerges as a winner. Her lovely face expressions and acting are the plus points of the flick.

Tech Departments

Velraj's cinematography is good. But it is Ghibran's music score that stands out from all other technical departments.

Verdict

Verdict

The only saving grace in the movie is - Nazriya Nazim. Had she not played the female lead, it would have been difficult for audience to sit in the theatres till the end. Her controversy may not have helped the movie, but it has made people notice her talent.

Dhanush has made a wrong choice!
