Naanga Movie Online – Review

Movie : Naanga

Cast: Sanjay Krishna, Vinod, Nivas, Udhay, Munees, Shakir, Ashwin raja, VishnuPriya, Shivani, Vaidehi, Kasthuri

Music: Balabharathy

Produced by: Cinema Kottagai

Direction: Selvah

Director Selvah is back with a movie that has five stories woven together. It speaks about a particular period and thrusts on friendship, romance and deceit.

With a host of fresh faces, he has tried to recreate a charm on screen, without much success. The script is loose and the events unfold in haphazard manner. What could have been a decent attempt falls short of expectations.

Story
Devi (Vishnupriya) gains consciousness from coma after 25 years. It was calledmedical miracle. Her collegemates in the past gets surprised by the news. They decide to come together to meet Devi. There is one Babu (Uday) who is in prison. The friends get him out of the jail and takes him to meet Devi.
There is a flashback that reveals the story of every individual in the gang of friends. It culminates with Devi falling in coma. Whast the friends does now to her and Babu forms the rest.

Performance
All the artistes have played their part well. Sanjay Krishna, Vinod, Nivas, Udhay, Munees, Shakir, Ashwin raja, VishnuPriya, Shivani and Vaidehi does their part well. Watch out for a bold performance by Kasthuri. She does a cameo that is the highlight of the movie.
Music by Balabharathy is the highlight. The songs reminds one of Ilayaraja in his early 1980s. A couple of melodies are pleasant to listen to.

Analysis
Selvah has made an honest attempt. The coming together of four friends after a long gap to their campus for a purpose, could have been handled in a different way. The movie reminds one of Oru Kalloriyin Kathi. All said, Naanga is a honest attempt, but the mix gone wrong. The period is set in 1980s and he tries to recreate it with costumes and songs of Ilayaraja.

Naanga – Old wine in old bottle
Mark: 2.5/5

ARR, Dhanush come together

This is the latest update on Dhanush! A few days back, biggie Aascar Ravichandran revealed to this newspaper that he had signed Dhanush for a film and was working on the details.

Now it is learnt that the National Award winner, who has been frequenting Mumbai post Kolaveri Di, had met Bharatbala of Vande Maataram fame and listened to a script. Fascinated by the content, the Aadukalam star evinced a keen interest to work in it and shared it with Aascar Ravi. A few years ago, Bharathbala was planning to do a multilingual feature film with Kamal Haasan and A.R.R. titled The 19th Step.

The film was to be an Indo-Japanese production, scripted and written by ace Malayalam writers M.T. Vasudevan Nair and Jayamohan, and about how the ancientmartial art form of Kerala was taken to Japan.

However, the project failed to take off due to various reasons. Now, close sources inform that Bharatbala is reviving the project and has zeroed down on Dhanush to play the male protagonist, with Rahman composing the music. One may recall that A.R.R., in an earlier chat with DC had said that he had four projects in Tamil including one with Bharatbala. A source close to Rahman has confirmed that he has signed a film with Aascar! In all probability, Asin may be roped in for the project, to sizzle alongsideDhanush.

Few months ago, there was a buzz that Bharatbala wanted to make The 19th Step with Bollywood star Ajay Devgn and was looking out for a suitable actor for the Tamil version — he felt Dhanush fitted the bill for the Tamil version.

But a source from Aascar Films ruled out any such possibility. Dhanush is a national star now, and will be soon venturing into straight Hindi films. With international composer ARR signed up for the music, the production house is likely to consider a dual version — Tamil and Hindi — with Dhanush. Also, they might prefer to dub in other languages. So, Ajay Devgn might not be a part of the project after all!
