Nadunisi Naaygal is not a horror film but an unraveling of the story of a person and characters involved. As we have been doing, we are collecting Nadunisi Naaygal Movie Reviews and Nadunisi Naaygal Movie Ratings from different reviewers and aggregating them here.
As the season of crime in Tamil movies intensifies, Gautham Vasudev Menon – a director whose handful of films is as diverse as a handful of pebbles – makes another attempt at a psycho thriller after his Pachaikili Muthucharam and Vettaiyadu Vilayadu. Nadunisi Naaygal is vaguely reminiscent of the famous psycho thrillers you have seen in Tamil (Moodupani & Sigappu Rojakkal) and characters from famous novels like Stieg Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Nadunisi Naaygal runs for about 90 minutes. Gautham hasn’t taken any cinematic liberties in narrating the tale and has done away with songs. The story has the potential to let you hold on to your seats throughout its running time and it’s exceptionally well written with watertight screenplay, narrated at a breakneck pace.
To reveal the story in one line; Nadunisi Naaygal is the story of a boy who grows up being subjected to sexual abuse by his father and his dangerous transformation into a serial killer. After his father’s death he is adopted by his neighborhood spinster but the demons of his past have ruined him completely and they peep in often, rendering him a psycho killer’s personality. Consequently, he turns into a repulsive serial killer who brutally kills women after torture and imprisoning them in his cellar.
Being the producer seems to have helped Gautham take crucial decisions about the movie; like no background score or music. He also doesn’t adapt any teasing techniques to elongate the movie’s running time. Besides, the movie deals with brutal abuse and killing of girls and any other director would have delved a little detail into that; but Gautham does not mess up with it and has kept the subtlety intact enhancing the watching experience of the psycho thriller.
All the actors have done their part competently not allowing a moment of dullness in the movie’s pace. Even the secondary characters fill their part with silent assurance towards the movie’s script. A word about Veera though. Usually, there are no set rules in terms of looks for someone to portray a psycho killer. Veera could pull it off easily, partly because he is a newcomer and also that he has innate talent. He is spooky and unrepentant.
Manoj Paramahamsa’s camera is one of the prime actors in the movie. Suffice to say, it’s simply brilliant and complements the dark mood of the movie throughout. The angles and the tones set the pace of the movie.
Essentially Gautham’s Nadunisi Naaygal is not a feel good movie, but nor is it a revolting experience at making a psycho thriller. The movie might send shivers through your spine or chill you with fear. But there’s not one scene you will feel sickened or revolted.
