Nanbenda Movie Review Times of India

Recommended

The director also doesn’t strain too much to make things humorous and Santhanam is in form here, chipping in with his one-liners to ensure that the laughs don’t dry up. But the film lacks comedy sequences that are riotously funny (say, like the airplane scene in Oru Kal Oru Kannadi) and some of the supporting characters and arcs — the hatred Sathya and Sivakozhundhu’s schoolmate Thangadurai, a cop, has for them; two warring rowdies; a robber gang that Ramya exposes — are not as interesting or funny as they could have been. The film could also definitely lose a couple of songs (though, this is one of Harris Jayaraj’s better works in recent times) and be all the more better for it. But it exploits formula to the hilt and like a well-oiled machine, does what it set out to be.
