    A Revenge thriller that will keep you engaged

    Vishal's Naan Sigapu Manithan is a Revenge thriller film with a medical disorder tale in the plot. It can be compared to Gajini though this will not make a huge impact like Gajini because of some commercial elements here and there in the plot. Vishal has justified the role of a Narcolepsy patient and portrays the problem they face with the social world. Saranya Ponvannan as usual plays the caring mother character yet it's not boring what she does, make us laugh. Lakshmi Menon for a change as the modern rich man's city girl impresses us with her new looks and acting (credits to the makeup man for using enough touch up coats and colour contacts). She had a good scope in the first half of the movie and in the second half she goes as the sleeping beauty. Iniya the vaagai soodava girl has played the similar role of Thirutu payale Malavika which perfectly fits with her new transformed stunning looks. Her role is short but important and impressive. Supporting roles by Jagan and Mayakam Enna fame Sudar Ramu gives a good hand to the plot. Jayaprakash comes in a short role. The screenplay was good and quite engaging except for the fact of misplacement of songs. Story is also fresh keeping in mind that without digging much into the real medical syndrome if see this as something newly presented it feels fresh. BGM so much was mostly stolen from myakam enna and Gajini. Music was average not impressive by GV. The controversial lip-lock was not so laudable but of course the plot had adultery in so many sections justifying U/A certification. Second half twist might offend so many people particularly female viewers. Overall 3/5. -Reviewed by Sivakumar Balachandran

    Naan Sigappu Manithan (2014)

    The movie was worst. The movie was not at all good. The movie has a worst story and many vulgar scenes. Songs and BGM in the movie was also worst. Boring movie.

    Naan Sigappu Manithan (Tamil) (U/A) --------- my Rating : ★★★½ NARCOLEPSY THRILLER

    STRENGTHS :- * Story Screenplay Direction : was interesting ... * Casting and Performances : were really great ... * Twists and Turns : plays main role ...

    WEAKNESSES :- * Post interval portion : was little over..... * Songs were boring...

    FILM VERDICT :- * Overall... the movie is good ... a must watch who loves twists and turns ....

    This film talks about a neurological sleeping disorder called narcolepsy. Co-produced by Vishal, the film stars himself in the leading role with Lakshmi Menon and Iniya in supporting roles.

    brilliantly plotted....

    Naan Sigappu Manithan by THRIU is an excellent story,casting vishal, lakshmi menon. The plot revolves around indiran (vishal) who has sleeping disorder.. he has his own wishes to complete.. while on the process of completing his wishes he meets with meera (lakshmi). she helps him with his wishes and eventually falls in love with him.. her father is not happy with indiran and avoids the proposal.. one night meera gets raped by four people and goes into coma... meanwhile indiran is urging to seek his revenge.. what he undergoes is a totally unexpected criteria...

    I enjoyed watching it... it didn't make me sleep..!! watch it.. love it

    A film that's makes mockery of a disorder.

    What could have been a great movie has been reduced to a blatant misinformed portrayal of nacrolepsy. The plot is over dramatised and directed poorly. The lack of logic, even for a Vishal movie is blasphemous. The only decent thing about the movie is it's cinematography.
