‘Naan Mahaan Alla’ directed by Suseendran who made an impressive directorial debut with 'Vennilla Kabadi Kuzhu'. Expectations were sky high as Susindran and Karthi joined hands together. These personalities share a common history of success in film industry and together they have outmatched their previous films now. ‘Naan Mahaan Alla’ top notches on every arenas as it holds a powerful theme and technicians glistering at their best. The film creates a lump in your throats with its serious subject and you’ll walk out of theatres with an intense emotion. And remember Karthi is one of the hottest stars of this year with three consecutive hit films. This year he had the first super hit ‘Paiyaa’ and ‘Naan Mahaan Alla’ is his fourth film.
The heart of the film is about the bonding of a serious father and a romantic son, laced with the criminal backdrops of Chennai. Karthi plays the role of Jeeva, a typical middle-class Chennai youngster with an easy going attitude, who is drawn into the world of crime and criminals after a particular incident changes his life. The first half is racy, peppy and also enthusiastic. What starts as a passable entertainer turns into a gripping crime-thriller during second half. Hats off to entire team as they deserve praises for their earnest efforts and brilliancies and executed with consummate ease. Full credit goes to the director and the most highlighting attribute of this film is the crisp and crystal-clear narration. Susindran makes sure the audiences are not dragged back and forth with fluctuating tempos. This two hour of drama keeps you engaged and adhered to screens.
Coming to the technical aspects of the movie, Director Suseendran assures that ‘Naan Mahaan Alla’ contains 100% entertainment factors with the right mix of comedy, romance, action and sentiments. It's Karthi, Karthi and Karthi all through the film. Is this the making of another SUPERSTAR in tamil film industry? Every actor has come up with a realistic performance in typical Suseendran style. Yuvan Shanker Raja's music is sooting and beautiful. The songs are beautifully picturised.
Very rarely we do come across such engrossing and engaging entertainers on Tamil screen. Naan Mahaan Alla, director Suseendran's second venture can be considered among the outstanding entertainers that have come out in recent times. On the whole, 'NAAN MAHAAN ALLA' is a movie that is different from commercial cliches ushering hope and confidence in Tamil cinema. Go for it.
My Verdict : 3.5/5
