Director
Selvaraghavan is back with a political film after a long time with Suriya's NGK
and the film revolves around Nandha Gopala Kumaran's (NGK) rise to power among
the ranks of his party. But this journey looks more like a confused take on
modern-day politics. In ways more than one, the film takes the middle ground in
a lot of issues. While taking a middle ground is a perspective by itself, there
is a lack of clarity.Lots of it, especially in the later half.
For instance,
The film opens with NGK involved in Organic farming. Why and what happens after
that is a question mark? There is a subplot involving Geetham (Sai Pallavi) and
Vaanathi (Rakul Preet Singh), and NGK has to choose his partner between the
two. He wants youngsters to come into politics but keeps taking advice from an
elderly person, Giri (Bala Singh) who looks like a caricature of MGR. In short,
the film by itself is perplexed about what it wants to say, or rather how it
wants to convey what it wants to. This confusion extends to the technical
aspects as well.
Sivakumar
Vijayan's cinematography reminds us of his work in Kolamaavu Kokila, partially
due to the combination of neon lighting and warm colours used. However, it
looks totally out of place and doesn't complement the story. Yuvan's background
score is good in parts. When the film is picking up pace, we are suddenly
presented with a song that is not just a speed breaker, but a spike strip. Few
scenes in the second half lack the purpose and adds confusion, eg. the scene
where Suriya and Bala Singh rehearse speech for the next day party meeting.
Along with
Yuvan's background score, Suriya's portrayal of NGK is astounding and the
eccentricity of the character comes across well. But why is he eccentric is a
question unanswered. On the other hand, Sai Pallavi and Rakul Preet Singh's
characterization by Selva is beautiful. He doesn't treat them like dolls, and
they both get moments that it's about them rather than the hero. The film
treats its women so well that among a group of henchmen, there are a few women
who fight equally well. Writing such characters have been Selva's forte and that
is also one of the reasons why the film fails to engage you.
The film is
highly predictable and has no new elements. There are issues with the
screenplay to an extent that while leaving the screen, you still have doubts on
why specific scenes existed. At times, the expression of the actors in the
background crowd gives you strong hints about what is about to happen next.
The plot here
is wafer-thin, and Selva keeps mounting more tension on it till a point where
it crumbles. That's what lets NGK down. A more trimmed film, with a tighter
screenplay and novelties, would have made NGK far better than what it is.
