Naan Directed by Jeeva Shankar starring Vijay Antony and Vibha Natarajan. Went to the movie with no expectation and came out as a Fully satisfied viewer.

What to Take :-
1) Awesome acting by Vijay antony. He definitely did his best for being a music director and a lead role is new to him
2) Songs are so good , especially makkayala and Thappellam thappey illa is awesome..Vibha Natarajan looks so cool .
3) BGM for the entire movie is derived from song Thappellam thappey illai is so rocking and fits to the movie perfectly.
4) Dialogue delivery and screenplay was excellent .
5) A simple scene in a bar when his fake father blackmail him for money is pure class
6) The twists in the movie is so cool and no untidy work throughout the movie. Hardly no logic mistakes noticed .
7) There were some scenes in second half which leaves you thrilled and scared as if you are watching a horror movie.
8) Director leaves climax with a unclosed end which could probably be a start point for its Sequel.
9) Overall a very good direction by Jeeva Shakar.
FAM Punch Line : Same old masala movie but in a different look and taste. Its more then a thriller movie. Am sure you would also be one who would appreciate VA' s performance and Jeeva direction after watching it.
