Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kaanom (2012) :
Brief Review -
A fantastic Tamil comedy-thriller based on disaster situations. A true story which is hard to believe but you have to believe. A young man forgets a few years of his life just before evening even of marriage and then his 3 friends try everything to make the marriage happen. That's it, that's the storyline and there is nothing more to it. But wait, we have got plenty of gags and thrilling elements in the screenplay which even makes this ordinary story look extraordinary. Comedy is a difficult game you know, especially the situational comedy. The slapstick comedy is still easy, one can easily make a good watchable slapstick flick by using Whatsapp, Facebook jokes and Twitter memes. And the safe thing is, people don't expect logic in slapstick genre so it becomes even easier to use intentional and forceful comedy. Here, in this film, i don't say it has too much logic and all, rather i say don't expect any logic and just enjoy it until you find the proper logic in the end. The logic is not intellectual or something like that, it's just that the film is based on a true story therefore you have to believe the story, no matter how illogical it sounds. That's why it is a Fantastic of Distaster Situations. Vijay Sethupathi, Bagavathi Perumal, Vigneshwaran and Balaji are very good in their roles. They create such a natural bond with the Audience from the first scene that people just start finding themselves connected to it. That entire cricket scene and that entire wedding scene were so hilarious, I was laughing out loudly and screaming while watching it. The dialogues are damn funny. Balaji Tharaneetharan's direction is superb. Despite long runtime the film never looks boring or streched and that's his grasp over the narrative. Overall, a Fantastic Comedy with rich content and substantial evidences.
RATING - 7/10*
