Performances
Actor Karthi Siva Kumar has come up with a love based action entertainer, after two super hits. Karthi was seen in an unconventional role in the movie ‘ Aayirathil Oruvan’ and then in a lover boy’s image in ‘ Paiyya’. In ‘ Naan Mahaan Alla’ the actor looks apt to the storyline of youngster, who in love for his dad, settles score with a criminal. Karthi’s acting is impeccable and so he will get full marks for his acting in the movie.
Kajal agarwal looks good in some scenes and fits perfectly to the role, she is assigned too. She is a lover to Karthi’s on screen character and gives him a good company in songs, dancing and entertains with her skin show. She was hired to play romantic portions and Kajal has given her 100% to the film.
Other actors like Jayaprakash excel in their acting of roles and need no elaboration, regarding their performance.
Direction by ‘ Vennila Kabadi Kulu’ fame director is above average. Frankly speaking, this movie genuinely needs a good presentation. With a petite story and no much research work done, the movie looks full of flaws in the second half. The presentation part is also not up to the mark and so the director Susindran needs to work hard even more in his next project.
Frankly speaking, the director wasted the available lead star cast, to a major extent as the output is not up to the expectations of Karthi fans.
On the whole, the movie is just an entertainer and will be in theatres till it gets kicked out with a replacement.
