Naan Mahaan Alla (2010). 2h 12m | Not Rated

“After a spellbinding performance in Paruthi Veeran (2007) and a being a part of a plot less movie Paiyaa (2010), Karthik enticed me to watch his third popular film Naan Mahaan Alla. To say the least I was thoroughly disappointed by the movie. The movie like any other popular Tamil cinema starts of well but half way down the film becomes a mere drag. All characters including the protagonist seems like mere caricatures and the content of the story doesnu0026#39;t enhance the film in any way. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eKajal is beautiful and cute as always but just an eye candy in the film. This is a clear indication of how male-dominated Tollywood is. An action South Indian cinema has to have some psychotic killers who donu0026#39;t think twice before committing a heinous crime like murder. This film is no different and of course only the u0026#39;Herou0026#39; of the movie can put them in place. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll other characters like Kajalu0026#39;s father, the gangster who befriends Karthik, are developed only to enhance Karthiku0026#39;s role further, but the story is so mediocre that they cannot be blamed in failing to do so. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTo conclude, I would just say that this movie is only for those who do not expect anything from a movie, and accept whatever the director/writer offer them in platter. Poor writing, poor execution and waste-of-time-and-money movie. Purely based on karthiku0026#39;s performance (in his entire career), I will give this movie 1 out of 10 stars.”
