NAYAGAN SONGS MOVIE

NAYAGAN SONGS MOVIE

This is the kind of movie where the mom (Saranya Ponvannan) proudly tells the neighbor (who insulted her son earlier) how much dowry they're paying for their daughter's wedding, followed by a slo-mo walk scene (Achievement unlocked!). We have the intro song-cum-romantic number, the bar song, the sad song and during the climax, some imaginative howling (in the name of singing) of popular Tamil tracks by Mottai Rajendran which makes you let out a chuckle initially but is overcooked and spoilt by the time the scene is done and dusted. Songs pop up at the most predictable of instances and however good a composer Sean Roldan actually is, his choice of films ensures that his compositions won't remain the least bit memorable. At first, Thambidurai is shown to be scared of dogs and struggles to even cross a busy street in the city that he lives in. Movies like this revive the utterly lame trends of guy-stalking-girl to get her attention and the protagonist going lengths to pay the hefty dowry demands made by his sister's to-be in laws. Together, their scenes are a bore (and not the laugh riots they're supposed to be). Soori plays Annadurai, the childhood bestie of Thambidurai. 'Kathanayagan' which translates to lead hero, is about a coward Thambidurai who at a given situation has to both, get his sister married as well as create a positive impression in front of his girlfriend Kanmani's dad (who's seen him run away from his manly duties earlier). There's barely any freshness in the storyline, which basically is an excuse to hop from one running-gag to another (even the supposed humor is of subpar quality). The movie, for good part, fits into the seen-it- all- before category. It's a bunch of comedy skits knit together clumsily. Films like 'Kathanayagan' (directed by Muruganandham and starring Vishnu Vishal as Thambidurai & Catherine Tresa as Kanmani) are bound to jog our memories of that terrible phase in Tamil cinema where majority of the scenes looked like mere filler.
