Naana Neeya - The Movie

Mid valley, 1130pm - Naana Neeya.

Yes. Finally the movie is out after so long in the making. Its a locally produced movie. Read my lips, ITS REALLY FUNNY!!

Well this movie was previously performed as a stage play written by Re.Shanmugam sometime back. I'm not really sure which year was it. Recently the director decided to make into a movie. Its currently being screened at International Screens GSC Mid valley. Its worth the watch but sad to see there were only 4 of us in the theatre.

Maybe because its midnight show, but hope that Malaysians watch this movie and show that support.

To talk about the movie, its a simple and humorous story. It revolves between, Gundutharan played by Kulal Kesavan and Appalasamy played by R.Shanmuganathan. Appalasamy shifts to a new housing area in Kinrara, Puchong (wooHoooo HIDUP PUCHONG) and his neighbour is Gundutharan. The main aim for Gundotharan is to scare his neighbours so that it will look like he is charge of the whole place.

So he will start threatening, playing pranks, hire gangster etc. Even though its a simple story but technically the comedy timing and dialogue delivery was really good. And for the first time we actually get the chance to watch not the familiar faces like Jasmine *duh*, Ganthiben, Jayasri etc.

Everyone performed well in this movie knowing that most of the artiste acted were all veterans. Oh yeah I have to tell about that host of Viluthugal, Jayasudha. She really acted well, very very funny! You go girl! I didn't know that she can act as such.

I bet you people would have heard the Naana Neeya song which is very famous now,by Vizz Da Blizz ft MC Loga of Hyperkinetix. Nice song and excellent music by Boy Radge. All the songs in the movie is really good, especially the Shankara song. They have been playing in THR Raaga and its currently in Malaysia Raaga Top 10. AND DAMN I REALLY LOVE THAT SONG!!

Can you believe it that me and ammu thought its from some Tamil movie. Well what can I say, Malaysian Indian Music Industry has improved so much. Keep up that good work people!!

Now on the technical part of it, from what I analyzed there are some shots which is quite long. It would have been great if they variety of angles and the way its taken. The makeup was really bad. Especially the part where there is close up shots, we can really see that the makeup is not even. They should have done camera testing for makeup before moving on for take.

The costume. Not so impressive yet its very normal which suites the story. Director of Photography could have done a better job for indoor shoots, because at times there are some over exposures. Overall some part of the movie looks like they didn't use monitor to do the shooting. Cincai lar.. But hey the movie was really good.

But my humble opinion, its much more better than Ivanthanda Hero, in the sense of humor and comedy.

Naana Neeya is really good and please watch it in theatres! Dont buy the DVD in Brickfields. They are the one's who is killing the local entertainment market!!

My rating would be 3/5 for Malaysian Movie.

Bravo, Naana Neeya Team!!
