Nandhan

Unrealistic cliche - overall film review

Not only movie and story but even scenes are copied from many old films from 1980 era. During that period the Telugu films with similar story was impactful but portraying in today world is little unrealistic.

The so called real events narration at end of film are there to justify the movie but doesn't bother to explain on aftermath. It is hard to believe that none from government or judicial system has intervened and resolved. Even in north India where these kind of practices are prevalent have started rebelling so I am not convinced on extent of brutality shown in film.

The movie is interesting in so many ways with a note at the beginning, and a titular role which is not of the protagonist (or) antagonist, and how real politics happen instead of the cinematic revenge, killings.

All the characters are brilliant, and even the antagonist mother scores in a scene. The writing and making is brilliant throughout with Samuthrakani being the rescue guardian for the plight of the downtrodden.

The movies climax is beautiful that captures what is real win in politics and democracy. Cinematography and music is brilliant in the confined spaces and the shocking reality comments in epilogue is one to be must watched!!

Nandhan is a powerful and hard-hitting film that shines a spotlight on the deep-rooted issue of casteism in the country. The film is excellently written by the director, who takes an unflinching approach to presenting the harsh realities faced by marginalized communities. The narrative brings to life the struggles and injustices, offering a brutally honest portrayal of the societal system that continues to divide people.

One of the standout elements of Nandhan is its casting. Both Sari Kumar and Samuthirakani deliver stellar performances that elevate the film. It's refreshing to see actors of their caliber take on such a daring and socially relevant script. The risks involved in making a film about such a sensitive subject matter reflect the guts and commitment of the entire team, and their effort is truly commendable.

However, while the film excels in portraying the journey of the protagonist fighting against oppression, there is a missing piece in the narrative. After overcoming severe criticism and attaining power, the story does not delve into how he survives and propels himself forward in the face of continued cruelty. This could have added more depth and closure to the protagonist's arc.

Overall, Nandhan is a film that deserves recognition for its bold storytelling, compelling performances, and its commentary on societal issues. Despite the minor gap in the narrative, it is a must-watch, and I would rate it a solid 10/10 for its sheer courage and impact.

Amazing movie with mind-blowing facts of cheap politics in rural places, please note, This is a very serious movie with the strong political points.

Not sure, Why the hell they have categorised this movie under comedy

This shows the cheap mentality of many people.

Very few known actors in the movie but everyone did a fantastic work. Movie is crisp and clear no songs in the movie which makes the movie very short. Hope it will win many awards and go many places.

Request the movie team to present the movie to many film festivals, this is a hidden gem which need to be shine. Kudos to the director and the whole team.

Not a review writer, but I just finished watching this film and felt compelled to share my thoughts. I believe this is easily one of the best films of the decade. I'm unsure why it hasn't received more attention.

If you read this review, please watch the film and thank me later. From the writers' note to the end credits, the screenplay is gripping. The post-credit scene was unexpected. Everyone involved, including all the actors and technicians, did a great job.

We all waste time watching a lot of commercial garbage every year. So, if you read this review, please spend 1 hour and 50 minutes watching this film. In the end, you'll be proud to have seen such a gem.
