Looks like Susindran had his fingers crossed soon after writing the script. One could really wonder how come producers of Studio Green Films could accept such scripts and Dayanidhi Azhagiri acquiring the rights over the project. The film might be having higher
expectations as Kalainyar TV airs continuous promos and more promotions. But when you walk out of theatres, it’s completely annoying as the film doesn’t offer any in special.

Let’s make it clear this way. The first half is fun-ridden romantic drama while the second half is damn serious. Few may have great likeliness for the first half while others prefer second hour due to its interesting narration.

However when it comes to analyzing the film on whole, ‘Naan Mahaan Alla’ doesn’t carry off anything in unique style. Although, the theme was reported to be on crime rates in Chennai, the filmmaker has completely failed to focus into the central theme. It’s not just about uncovering the real drama of murders like stabbing a person with knife toasted in cyanide liquids. But it is worth master planning on a sketch to stab down an ordinary person. During the penultimate sequence, we see that one of the villain’s friend killing the uncle. In the very next scene, we see them boozing up together. During the climax portion, we see the dons being slaughtered mercilessly. Couldn’t they call out for their henchmen residing in the same area?

Karthi says that he saw the exact culprit when his father was describing his physique and appearance. Well, if so, Karthi could have interrupted his father pointing down that person standing not even 20 yards from them. Of course, even the police commissioner and his constables were present there. If police commissioner was really an intellectual person, he wouldn’t leave the case soon as Karthi asks them to drop the case. The culprits have mercilessly chopped down innocent couple and his father. He should have assigned at least a plainclothesman to watch over his house for security purpose. Again, when the police commissioner is involved in Crime Scene Investigation near Coovam, he is never spotted with gloves. This is completely amateurish. When the bodies of the young boy and gal are found, why do we find just the witness Jayaprakash (Karthi’s father) in most of the sequences and not the parents of victims… The case could have been absolutely solved if their parents had lodged a complaint at police station.

The film has whole lot of drawbacks and if you’re yet willing to watch the film, you can go ahead forgetting these absurdities.

On the positive side, Karthi is good at his performance and often we don’t see actors like him tanning their skin. Mark our words! The actor is sure to make it bigger on charts and will soon hold a prominent place amongst A-league actors. Kajal Agarwal looks cute and steals the show with her beautiful looks. Jayaprakash as Karthi’s father is brilliant while the other actors have come up with flawless performances.

The musical score by Yuvan Shankar Raja is the biggest plus for the film and his background score during second half is far above excellence. Mathi’s cinematography is yet another additional highlighting feature and editing is neat and good.

The film will not entertain the family audiences, especially women and children keep themselves occupied during second half with lots of violence.
