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!!

Nadhan, directed by Era.saravanan is a brave attempt. The film talks about discrimination is indirectly happening even in village level politics.

And also shows untouchability still there some places around us from a different perspective.

The film is well-crafted and make us to feel from sufferer's perspective and portrayed specific way how it affects individuals and communities as a whole.

Casting is great. Sasikumar, Balaji Sakthivel and Samuthirakani did excellent role. Sasikumar plays a role different from his typical roles as a kind gentleman characters and intimate friend. Everyone is able to perceive his dedication towards this film.

Typically, some of new face actors tend to let us down when it comes to playing roles that require specific body language and facial expressions. However, all individuals gave impressive performances in this movie.

Congratulations to Era. Saravanan continues to create similar socially impactful movies in the future.

Such powerful portrayal of a social evil, and an urgent need of the hour!!

Brilliant performances by Balaji Sakthivel, who easily has given his all-time best, followed by Sasikumar and Suruthi. All 3 of them deserve national awards in the respective categories.

The movie is so intense and the screenplay is just as good as it could have been. Hats off to the director Era Saravanan for creating one of the best movies for a long time. Am so surprised this movie didn't get the recognition it deserves. This needs to be celebrated at film festivals and by the people/lovers of cinema.

Ghibran's background score is intense and captures the mood of the film perfectly. He deserves more movies for his talent and work.

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.
