Capital film works’ “Nanayam ” is a thoroughly enjoyable thriller which keeps the audience glued to their seats right through. The debutant director Shakti S Rajan who is also the writer has done a very good job . “Nanayam ” will surely be the surprise winner among all the pongal releases.
The premise of a bank robbery is not only novel to Tamil cinema, it is a fresh departure from the routine “ Dada – Madhurai- Aruval “ stories which we come across every other Friday. Tight screenplay without any loose ends , power packed performance from the two heroes , sleek cinematography innovative editing all makes it a worthy movie watching experience.
Prasanna looks suave & debonair in the role of the chief security officer of “ the world’s safest bank “ caught between his loyalty for his Boss and his love for a stranger . He has excelled in the action sequences to .
Sibiraj’s is a career best role so far & he has lapped it up with glee. His screen presence is thoroughly enjoyable (probably for the first time in his career) & sparks fly whenever he is onscreen. Even though he is the antagonist he succeeds in making us rooting for him.
Heroine of Nanayam has a lot more to do than just romance & shake a leg or two. Ramya has a substantial role to play but she is yet to get into the nuances of expressions & emoting.
S.P.Balasubramanyam does a good job in the role of Prasanna’s Boss with a secret to hide.
Om Prakash’s cinematography is another top draw for the movie. He has presented the movie in a very glossy & lustrous manner.
“Naan Pogiraen ” & “Ka ka ka ka” are enjoyable numbers from James Vasanthan while Sai Thaman’s background scores leaves a lot to be desired with heavy influences from Ilayaraja’s score in “Michael Madana Kama Rajan”.
On the whole , “Nanayam ” is a must watch.
Bottomline : Honestly good.
3.5/5
