Review:
Honesty and uprightness take on villainy and vendetta in Kanakaratna Movies’ Nam Naadu — a drama that’s more a proclamation of Sarathkumar’s solo entry into politics. More a remake of the Malayalam film, Lion, it’s a near-perfect platform for Sarathkumar to showcase himself in the right mould. A film hero is always a do-gooder. And if he’s a politician he is even more conscientious. Though Nam Naadu has the essential ingredients of an entertainer — action, sentiment and romance — it fails to keep you hooked till the end because the heroic element comes to the fore rather late. At times you see the hero bargaining with the avaricious and at others he is too straightforward. Naturally, it’s confusing.
Being the son of a corrupt State Minister (Nasser), Muthazhagan (Sarathkumar) is the odd one out in his home. His two brothers-in-law, who are top officials, are as corrupt as his father. And try as he might, breaking the nexus is impossible, till things get out of hand. Adding to his agony is his insensitive mom.
Sarathkumar, as the sedate, serious politician and minister, does justice to the role. Not much of emotions are called for or executed. He makes an impact when he’s unjustly accused by his own mother. Nasser steals the show. Knowing the risk his life is in, it’s surprising Nasser goes out alone only to become a sitting duck for his opponents!
Ramesh Kanna (also the dialogue writer of Nam Naadu) plays the clichéd role of the minister’s secretary; yet manages to evoke a smile now and then. But his asides get a bit too much after a point. Karthika appears rather flabby, especially in the song sequences.
Thankfully the songs are well-spaced out and their number limited. The opening number ‘Kottaisami …’ is an extremely predictable sequence. Suresh’s screenplay sags towards the end but by and large it is a linear narration.
Though released in a hurry, it’s to the credit of director Suresh that the simmering stress is seen nowhere in Nam Naadu. On the whole, a political story that promises fireworks and high drama.
