‘Films can be made with big ideas. Not Big Money’ – Remember the famous quotation marked by Ram Gopal Varma during the release of his ‘Dongala Mutha’. With Tamil film industry going through a rapid change in its course, we have been witnessing films made out photo-cameras and digital filmmaking. ‘Edhuvum Nadakkum’, ‘Sanikkilamai Saayangalam 5 Mani’, ‘Mei Porul’ and many other movies can be regarded as the best illustrations. Though, these films didn’t have a grand opening, it easily grabbed everyone’s attention for its newfangled filmmaking and a commendable work in narration as well.
‘Nanjupuram’ proves nowhere an elision and indeed overshadows the above mentioned movies. Just as the title goes, ‘Nanjupuram’ is about a land situated amidst of thick mountainous forests that is filled with hundreds and thousands of poisonous snakes. Velu (Raghav), an unemployed youngster freaks out across the village and falls in love with Malar (Monica), daughter of a butcher woman in village. Of course, they are so much attracted towards each other and share an intimate relationship. Velu once saves Malar from bitten by a snake by tapping his legs over it. This leaves him in a perplexed situation as the villagers urge him to stay at the top of a makeshift place since they believe that a snake that is hurt but not killed will surely get back to seek revenge. Meanwhile, plans are made by family elders to get Malar married to someone else. Can Velu save himself from the revengeful snake and join hands with his sweetheart Malar? You’ve got to watch them over the screens as they deserve a watch.
Let us get it clear about few things here. First and foremost, ‘Nanjupuram’ doesn’t carry a top-notching visual panorama and don’t expect to the outputs on screens you’ll find in the movies of Manirathnam and Gautham Menon. It’s a film made with digital cameras and so the resolution becomes slightly lower in few places. But as a filmmaker, Charles has penned an engrossing story that lets us experience some spine-shuddering moments. The first half of the movie is slow and quite mediocre, but as the conflict begins, we tend to notice that there’s something interesting happening there.
Performance by Raghav is splendid and he does his part very well. If the actor manages to get into projects made by A-league filmmakers, he is sure to shine for his earnest dedication and striving efforts for perfection. Monica as usual tries turning on everyone’s interest with her beauty and glam-factors. Musical score by Raghav is okay while songs are somewhat captivating.
On the flip side, the screenplay goes sluggish at few parts and the producers could have shown keen interest on the technical aspects.
