Krishna (Ravi) is a guy of adventures and loves KICKS in all his works. In fact, the narration of his characterization during initial minutes of films speaks of his nature. His girlfriend Nisha (Thamannah) has already broke up with him. Now her parents have decided to get her married with a police office, again named Krishna Kumar (Shaam). Nisha speaks about her boyfriend, who is so unconvinced with simple things in life and keeps taking risks. Even at places, where he earns Rs.1Lakh as his remuneration, he resigns the job at the end of first month. This makes Nisha get away from him and is now getting engaged with Krishna Kumar, who has come to Malaysia in search of a thief. The biggest twist in the tale is that the thief in Malaysia is none other than Nisha’s ex-boyfriend Krishna. Now the cop and thief start playing the chasing game and meanwhile Krishna wants to win back the heart of Nisha. Why Krishna, a well educated and talented guy is involved in the robbery of million of rupees is exposed in the second half.

Jeyam Ravi is done what just Ravi Teja has done in the Telugu film and Thamannah too the same as Ileana. Jeyam Ravi is bubbly with his activeness and his jovial nature is delivered well by Raja. Thamannah looks cute and has worked well on her costumes. Vadivelu’s comedy tracks are enjoyable and Santhanam should have been given some importance as when compared to his previous films, he doesn’t get more scenes. Prabhu and Suhasini as Ravi’s parents have done a good job. Shaam is fantastic as he suits the role of a cop. For those, who have seen the film KICK, it is like watching the film second time as nothing has been altered. But, if you are watching the film for the first time and then you need not worry as it offers wholesome entertainment.

Technical parts are nice as Yuvan’s songs are nice and camera work is also good. The film’s lengthy duration does not seem to be big constraint as the narration is so enjoyable with fun, frolic, romance and action with sentimental realms during the flashback sequences and a convincing climax.

If you are planning to watch this film, go ahead and relax sitting back as Thillalangadi is good at parts

Anjali it is very difficult for her to act in many films at a time. Says Anjali: “I am currently acting in Thambi Vettothi Sundaram, Magilchi, Maharaja, Karungaali and a Malayalam film which has Jayasurya in the lead role. It is very difficult to allocate dates when acting in so many films. But all the films I am acting now has been signed earlier. I have given various call sheets for these films. At that time the shooting of the films did not commence. I am acting in these films since I agreed to act earlier. Karungaali is one such film which I had agreed to do earlier. Now I will not accept any new films. Only after completing the films I am acting now, I will start acting in new films. The shooting of the film which Samuthirakani is directing has been postponed to December. So I think there will be no problem for me to act in this film.”

Gautham Menon known for his pure innovative Tamil titles like Khakka Khakka, Pachakili Muthucharam, Vaaranam Aayiram, Vinnayithandi Varuvaaya etc has chosen Nadunisi Naigal as per story and presentation title should sound different and evoke curiosity among his fans.

Nadunisi Naigal is said to be an edge of the seat thriller that takes place on the ECR in Chennai during the midnight hours.

The running time of this “new age thriller” will be around 100 minutes and will be the first Gautham film without songs. One of the highlights of the film will be Manoj Paramahama’s cinematography.

When it’s almost confirmed on air that Vijay’s 52nd film ‘Velayudham’ is a remake yesteryear Telugu movie ‘Azad’, Jayam Raja strongly puts up that it’s his own story and not a remake.

With Vijay’s ‘Velayudham’ being launched in a lavish style, Aascar Ravichandran has recreated the magic of publicizing the film right on the first day of launch across the cities. Just as Vijay himself mentioned that he is incredulously astonished about Ravichandran’s stylish way of making it grander, it’s been a perfect show of this season.

Meanwhile, buzzes have popped up that ‘Velayudham’ is a remake of ‘Azad’, which has been now confirmed with the promo posters. One of the promotional pictures conveys Genelia D’ Souza holding a mike as newsreporter and Vijay hiding behind and taking a look. It’s obvious that late actress Soundarya performed that role of a journalist and Vijay as an innocuous villager.

The other posters too convey of the film’s plot of Vijay being noticed in masked costumes with a sword in hand the reminiscences the protagonist turning the fictional character into reality.

Now the biggest question is that whether ‘Velayudham’ would be on the same lines of Vikram starrer ‘Kanthaswamy’.
