second half. Hats off to entire team as they deserve praises for their
earnest efforts and brilliancies.

Karthi showcases
ne plus ultra performance and gets under the skin of his
characterization. It’s a relief for those, who felt his role was
incisively exaggerated in ‘Paiyya’. What is sure to surprise you is
the fact that it doesn’t boast of any stunts till the climax. For the
first 100minutes, the film strides with spanking narration of fun,
frolic and romance. However, Susindran makes sure that audiences are
provided with a clue right on the prologue about what this film is all
about. The point of conjunction by involving Karthi’s character has
been well designed by the filmmaker.

The most highlighting
attribute of this film is the crisp and crystal-clear narration.
Susindran makes sure the audiences are not dragged back and forth with

Karthi excels with his charismatic appeal and deserves
special mention for his stunning performance in action sequences. Even
his hilarious mannerisms during first half are enjoyable. Kajal
Agarwal looks bubbly, cherubic and shares a great chemistry with
Karthi. Jayaprakash continues striking gold at his performance level
while Lakshmi deserves same praises for her acting. 4 youngsters (one
of them looks identical as younger boy, who played Suriya’s role in
‘Nandha’) are excellent on their part.

Technically, Yuvan
Shankar Raja’s musical score is the biggest asset as his Midas touch
on background score enhances the visuals canned by Mathi. The
cinematographer has completely changed his pattern from ‘Paiyya’ and
emblazons the screens with different touch. Kasi Viswanathan’s editing
is sleek and neat.

Stunts choreographed by Anal Arasu are far
beyond excellence. The action sequences moves you to the edge of seats.
It’s nice and realistic to see the baddies being more dominant than
an ordinary guy in these stunts.

As on whole, ‘Naan Mahaan

been prevailing amongst the people in contemporaneous city of
Chennai.

We wish Susindran to keep his thumbs up and producers
are sure to take a cake walk. It’s yet another precious stud in
Karthi’s career.

What works: Almost everything, the plot and screenplay, performances, technical panoramas
What doesn’t work: Missing a duet song ‘Oru Maalai Neram’ from Yuvan’s bank
Verdict: Just outstanding. Must watch it
