"Nagendran's Honeymoon" is a cinematic vlog which can be added as a new genre. It's neither a serious subject, a thriller, nor a comedy. Instead, it presents itself as an extended cinematic vlog, which can be prescribed for insomnia disease. (Hopefully they invented a oraganic medicine)
From the very first episode, I found myself questioning how the director managed to convince a producer to back this project. It soon became clear that the director himself produced the film, likely because no one else would have taken the risk on such an unconventional project. The cast is impressive, possibly due to the director being the son of renowned filmmaker Renji Panikar.
As a passionate film enthusiast, watching "Nagendran's Honeymoon" was an exercise in frustration and confusion. The script and direction are, unfortunately, the weakest aspects of the film. The narrative lacks coherence and fails to engage the audience, making it a tedious watch. This raises concerns about the current state of the industry and the kind of content being produced.
However, not everything about the film is disappointing. The technical aspects, including cinematography and sound design, are commendable. The actors, especially Kani Kusruti, deliver strong performances despite the weak script. Kani Kusruti's portrayal stands out, bringing depth and nuance to her character, which is a testament to her talent and dedication.
