Story :

Naan Mahaan Alla story is about Jeeva (Karthi), a free wheeling guy with no worries in life. His family members and friends keep him invigorated over the times. Jeeva comes across the beautiful Priya (Kajal Agrwal) and falls in love at first sight and indeed impresses her. When everything is set to go on paths of happiness, Jeeva’s life is turned upside down when his father (Jayaprakash) is stabbed to death by group of strangers. What follows next is Jeeva’s mission of trapping the goons, who were responsible not alone for his father’s death, but are serial killers.

The complete first hour (80mins) has nothing to do with the journey as Susindran established the conflict merely at the point of intermission. It looks like the filmmaker wanted to keep the first half with fun, frolic and romance and the latter half with complete contrast. For sure, audiences would feel like watching two different movies due to lack of relevance. The major drawback of the film is Susindran’s amateur way of handling certain sequences. Chennai’s most raucous roughneck and his henchmen killed by youngsters are unbelievable. Maybe, they’re serial killers, but that doesn’t mean they can bump off the most dangerous hooligans just like that.


Performances :

Its look like the actor Karthi is look to getting out fom his 'Paruthiveeran' effects and he is tries to show some different style when compared to his previous films. The actor show more powerful performance during the second half. On pars, he gets along well with comical sequences. Kajal Agarwal’s characterization doesn’t boast of specialties as she plays the usual girl-to-next-door roles. Her onscreen chemistry with Karthi is extraordinary. The actress can try for some challenging roles as she possesses the talent to perform them. Jayaprakash as Karthi’s father does an excellent job. The 4 youngsters enacting the role of baddies have done a marvelous job.


Music :

The background music by Yuvan Shankar Raja is making a splendid appearance and the song 'Iragai Pole' is look great with visual effect.


Cinematography :

Mathi’s cinematography is okay as he doesn’t try for innovative placements. His picturing style of songs and climax fight sequence is over the top


Verdict : Passable Show
