Natchathiram Nagargirathu

All my life I have suffered by the society in various scenarios. Being a child whose mom ran away!! I got to understand the dark side of this society at a very young age. Inequality is everywhere, from the drinking glass to job promotions... this movie helped me to understood on how to handle the anger that I built upon myself!!

Rene's laugh is inspiring a lot!! Thanks Ranjith!!

1. Tenma's music is awesome!! But it would have been better to have a different sound for the shooting star. Whole scoring is a beautifully wrapped with the story 2. I'm from Pondicherry... and this is the first movie which actually shows what the culture in this city that I have experienced!!!

3. I can see kalidas really understood the movie but his acting is not enough to register his character in my mind... like Rene, shabeer and Master, Hari !!

4. A guy who was inside the photo(karu arukapata pen) from the drama rehearsal acted really well!!

5. As per baddy's review, This movie is above all these good bad average terms 6. Movie like this will live in Tamil cinema forever.

Pa. Ranjith's films are always a matter of some political dimensions to discuss. Every film either he directed or produced deals with issues related to Dalit politics and casteism. NN is also about that political spectrum. The subject is something we had already discussed and talked but the execution of the film stands different. The initial scene of the movie projects the entire concept, ie, Love and Caste. The film is built in a new-gen format which means there comes a lot of characters which is alien to the so-called normal society. We can see queer people, a transwoman, and a lesbian couple in the movie which is something a progressive thought. I feel like the theatre group simply symbolizes the future world that everyone intends to come. The theatre group is all set to execute a new play and the master of the group selects love as the subject for the play. Love that connects with the current social scenario. The movie also talks about the issue of honor killing which is so prevalent in society. While the master put forward this subject to everybody in the group all come up with their own views about the subject. That comments from them resemble the attitude of people toward this issue. We can see many types of dimensions that flavored a strong backup to the movie. The film is something a good attempt but not to be considered a brilliant one from Pa. Ranjith.

Pa. Ranjith's new movie feels a personal statement to "Naataka Kaadhal" but that is not the movie is all about. The story revolving around a drama troupe at Pondicherry, a group full of people with varied opinions (political or otherwise). As they try to prepare for a play on love, the clash of ideals brings out the differences and the eventual impact on the individuals. If one thinks this is all there is, the third act throws in a terrific surprise elevating the movie.

Rene aka Tamizh being the central character, one of the many characters that are written to mirror the society's harsh reality, is the best written one. The character of Arjun is the one with a better arc as he stands for everything wrong in prejudiced upper caste male with no understanding of political correctness. The narrative that is mostly conversational is effectively merged into the on screen play which stands out for the set design and make up along with the performances, firmly aided by those songs.

I am surprised how i didn't feel the runtime at all and that is solely due to the surprise character entry in the third act, as mysterious the character is, it directly felt like an interaction beyond the screen. The rebels vs the self proclaimed protector for the society, a top notch touch towards the end. To point out the shortcomings, though thr story dwells into genderless love as well, the same sex love stories and the trans couple story gets reduced to dialogues.

Politics of Love . Natchathiram Nagargiradhu was beautiful movie . Well written and very well executed . Asusual Pa. Ranjith didn't fail to give equal scope for all characters in the movie , each and every character were well designed . Movie tells about love and it's politics , actually this kinda topic was really intresting and thought provoking , it was deep rooted into the topic . Dialogues were back bone of the movie , it was hard hitting and strong . This time making was bit different from Pa Ranjith , surreal type of making was good ( Dope vro ) . My favorite part was Village portion , actually they didn't try to make us laugh but it was totally hilarious . Music and songs were good from Tenma . Technically cinematography was awesome and good editing . Overall a must watch movie .

After a great hit of sarpatta, this was a pure disaster for ranjith, his style of film making is that, he speaks politics in every genre which is not ok for a romance one, the story is weak and he didnt even convey what he wanted to say to people, according he just talked abt LGT and general love but clear with the script and the political thing didnt work at all! If you r still taking films like this doesnt change any just taking in cast and portraying everything is not right at all, talking casts will increase more rather decreasing!! Politics apart , coming back the movie has a weak story and screenplay is so poor, the most annoying one was the female lead, i dont know why he designed such a character, it ranjiths female lead , all the other characters did good , overall a pretty average film, available in netflix.
