Naan Sigappu Manithan

My review: Naan Sigappu Manithan



Thiru's "Naan Sigappu Manithan" is a neatly written, nicely performed and a well made movie. Widely publicized to be a movie dealing with narcolepsy (though they have portrayed the most severe form of the illness here) one should say the writer-director Thiru has done justice to it. Not at any point do you feel that the illness in forced into the narrative for the sake of novelty. Here it forms the part and parcel of the character of the protagonist. Though the main plot is the plain revenge saga, the suspense and the twists inherent in the narrative makes it an engrossing watch.

Vishal once again gets into the skin of the character like his previous successful venture "Pandiyanadu". Getting to know pretty well where his strength lies in that movie he has polished it a higher degree this time. Lakshmi Menon doesn't have much to perform while Iniya has lots of scope and has utilized it well. Sunder Ramu is kind of getting typecast. Jegan succeeds in lightening up the screen at few instances. The quintessential mother and father of Tamil cinema Saranya and Jayaprakash do what they do it with aplomb movie after movie. 


G.V.Prakashkumar's background score is excellent. It helps to add spice to the manner in which the story is told. Richard M.Nathan's cinematography is brilliant. 

On the whole, "Naan Sigappu Manithan" is a neat taut action-thriller, thoroughly entertaining. 

Bottomline: Well made movie.

3.5/5
