I would wish to share some of my thoughts about this film

  • Sasikumar: Great going. He has suceeded as director (Subramaniyapuram), producer(Pasanga) and actor (Subramaniyapuram, Nadodigal). Oh man! You have created a lot of expectations. We will be expecting more from you in the next ventures.
  • Ananya : She is Sasikumar's lover. The director might have expected her to act cute. But she has acted more than what is expected . Over-acting.
  • Abhinaya : She is Sasikumar's sister. I was surprised to know that she is physically disabled (deaf and mute). She has done a great job and is beautiful too. No lip sync problem. No one would even believe this. Kudos to director for the challenge he took and thanks for not trying to advertise this.

  • Vijay (Vasanth & Co) : There was a big digital banner for him in Manjunatha theatre, Hosur. Yes, he has acted well. But banner lam romba over. Appa kaasa kari aakkadheenga Vijay!
  • Bharani : He is the prime-comedian. The scenes where he loses his hearing power really makes us feel sympathetic. But konjam over-acting.
  • Ganja Karuppu : Short and sweet role. He has given 100% output.
  • Sundar C Babu (Music) : Songs are not upto the mark. Sambo Siva Sambo theme is the backbone of film. He need not give grand orchestrated music for all scenes. First half had lot of unnecessary background music.
  • Samuthrakani (Director) : He takes the whole credit. What a movie! A great try and it is well-executed. Audience will surely encourage if you try movies like this. But you need not have put these songs. They stopped the flow. May be, one good melody(like kangal iranda) would have been sufficient.
  • All reviews say that the second half is slow. According to me, 2nd half is the essence of film. The explanation regarding initial marriage life, failure of love and arranged marriages, betrayal by friends etc are great. Hats off for those scenes.


All together, Nadodigal is a must watch movie. See it with your friends or family or even alone. It suits all type of audience.
