Nayagan Movie Review


Nayagan - Perfect appetite for action-lovers
Director Saravana Sakthi has dished out an action-packed entertainer inspired by the Hollywood flick 'Cellular'. The movie has enough commercial elements and the fast narration of events maintains momentum throughout the film. If you can walk in with no expectations, you will very well come out quite pleased.
A young man, who receives a phone call from a kidnapped woman, takes the responsibility of rescuing her and saving her family. This forms the crux of 'Nayagan'. He is assisted by a cop to accomplish the task.
‘Nayagan’ features J K Ritheesh and Ramana in lead roles. The former plays a policeman while the latter is a jobless youth.
Ritheesh made his debut with 'Kanal Neer' and in his very second film, he is portrayed a larger-than-life hero with elements like dance, fight and punch dialogues to boot. Ramana, an actor with immense talent has been looking for the right break for quite some time now. He has played his part exceedingly well.
Sakthi (Ramana) receives a call on his mobile phone from a doctor Sharadha (Sangeetha), who has been abducted. The woman is kept in confinement and somehow manages to contact Sakthi using the loose wires of a smashed phone. The tension mounts as the kidnappers are set to go after her child next.
Sakthi understands the gravity of the situation and takes it upon himself to rescue her. He is joined by a police officer Guru (Ritheesh) in this task. Among those in the cast are Anandhraj, in a dual role and Vaiyapuri.
Sangeetha as the kidnapped woman is the scene stealer. The ease with which she performs should be applauded. Equally appreciable are the roles enacted by Anandhraj. In dual roles, he pulls off terrific performances.
Saravana Sakthi has set the pace in such a way, that one may not be able to spot logical loopholes in the film.
It is a film for action-lovers. Sit without expectations and enjoy 'Nayagan'.
