Involving not just the lead actor Kamal but all the supporting cast. An outstanding scene with controlled performances, simple lines and an apt background score.
For example, the scene where Kamal’s character meets Saranya’s for the first time - it’s a brothel and Saranya requests Kamal to leave her early as she has to study for her Maths exam the next day. And that’s a clear sign of a job well done by the Art Director Thotta Tharani.Īcting: A great film is a sum total of great scenes, brought to life by some memorable acting. But Raja came up with a beautiful melody which conveys the joyous mood between the lovers with a tinge of melancholy to suit the script.Īrt Direction: One can never make out if the slums of Mumbai’s Dharavi being shown in the film are for real or shot in sets. Generally speaking, any plain vanilla melodious tune would have done the job. In the song Nee Oru Kaadhal Sangeetham, the situation is that of the regular duet between the hero and the heroine in happy times. Using the voice of veteran singer Jamuna Rani for the song Naan Sirithaal Deepavali, set probably in the ‘60s, was an outstanding choice. The theme song of Nayagan which Raja deployed is talked about even today. Music score: This was Ilayaraja’s 400th film and would rank among his best work. The shot of fluttering pigeons in the background when Kamal and Saranya walk along the Gateway of India in Mumbai for the Nee Oru Kaadhal Sangeetham song remains fresh in memory. One could clearly see the difference in the look, feel and texture as the film progresses from one period to another and this was a first, I believe, in Tamil cinema.
Though in this film he didn’t have much scope to showcase the beauty of outdoor locales, we could get a glimpse of his skills in lighting and deploying unique angles.
KATHA NAYAGAN HD MOVIE MOVIE
“Neenga nallavara, kettavara?” is the “Kitne admi the?” of Tamil cinema! Nayagan Movie DownloadĬamera work: One could safely say that though he had few films under his belt before Nayagan, the “brand” PC Sreeram as we know him today was born post Nayagan. He could bring in the native Tuticorin flavour in the lines that Kamal’s character speaks and an overall earthiness to the dialogues. The younger versions of Kamal and Tinnu Anand were perfectly cast.ĭialogues: Mani Ratnam drafted ace novelist Balakumaran to write for the film and the latter didn’t disappoint. More importantly, the attention to detail in choosing faces that closely resemble each other as the character ages, deserves acclamation. Irrespective of the size of the roles, each one of them leaves an impact. But the supporting cast of Delhi Ganesh, Janakaraj, Nizhalgal Ravi, Saranya, and Karthika are not far behind. Here’s a closer look at some of these aspects:Ĭasting: Kamal towers tall in the film. The screenplay, dialogues, casting, acting, songs, camera work, art direction, background score, make-up, and of course the direction stood out in the film and that doesn’t happen always. But, it’s the treatment of the subject and the way it turned out on the silver screen that made Nayagan memorable for years to come. The plot of Nayagan in itself is nothing novel, drawing liberal inspiration from The Godfather in reel life and Mumbai’s erstwhile don, Varadaraja Mudaliar in real life. There are very few directors of this generation in Tamil cinema who have not admitted to being influenced by Nayagan in some way or the other. Nayagan ticks off many boxes in this regard. They featured Kamal minus his moustache.įrom the time the credits started rolling, we could sense that we were in for something different.Ī good film becomes a great film and then a classic when it is remembered and influences filmmaking for years after. Devoid of the hype and promotions that precede film releases today, the main publicity for Nayagan was just the posters that were plastered all over, which were quite intriguing. When the film released in the October of 1987, the lone interest in the film was its “Kathanayagan”, Kamal Haasan.ĭirector Mani Ratnam was just a few films old in the industry with Mouna Ragam being his solo hit, so to speak, until then. Memories are vivid of the film even today, so much so that many say that Tamil cinema can be divided into two eras – one before Nayagan and the other after. It’s been 30 years since Mani Ratnam’s epic film Nayagan hit the screens in Tamil Nadu for Deepavali. The film had musical score by Chandra Bose. The film stars Pandiarajan, S.V.Sekhar, Rekha and Manorama in lead roles.
