Sivakarthikeyan has united with Pandiraj for the third time after Marina (2012) and Kedi Billa Killadi Ranga (2013). Their latest movie Namma Veettu Pillai is a family entertainer set in the rural backdrop.
The movie has Anu Emmanuel of Thupparivaalan fame romancing Sivakarthikeyan and Aishwarya Rajesh will be seen in the role of the hero's sister in Namma Veettu Pillai. Samuthirakani, Soori, Yogi Babu, Bigg Boss Tamil fame Meera Mitun, RK Suresh, Bharathiraaja and others are part of the supporting cast.
D Imman has composed the music for the film. Yenga Annan and Unkoodave Porakanum songs are the pick from the album. Nirav Shah has handled the cinematography, while Ruben has edited the flick.
Story:
Pandiraj has come up with a story similar to his previous film Kadaikutty Singham. Arulmozhi Varman (Bharathiraaja) has three sons and a daughter. The primary focus is on the character of Arumpon (Sivakarthikeyan) and his sister Thulasi (Aishwarya Rajesh). It is about the challenge the doting brother faces when he is forced to marry his sister to Ayyanar (Nataraj) with whom he does not good relationship.
Analysis:
The movie has opened to fairly positive reviews with th cine-goers calling it a pure family drama. It is an entertaining family drama with its own share of drawbacks. The movie tries to give an insight into the good and bad in the large family. Pandiraj has packed the story with action, sentiment and comedy.
The writing is good and engaged the audience. Sivakarthikeyan has shined as a doting brother and comes out with a matured performance. Aishwarya Rajesh is equally good. Comedy and music are the other highlights of Pandiraj-directorial film. However, the lack of freshness is in the storyline remains major drawback of the film.
Sivakarthikeyan's last two movies (Seemaraaja and Mr Local) failed to set the box office on fire. The actor seems to be back to form with this flick.
Sidhu: #NammaVeettuPillai: Solid. @pandiraj_dir brings us a wholesomely engaging family drama that ticks all the boxes of a perfect entertainer. The final 30 minutes are a huge win, this is an excellent comeback for @Siva_Kartikeyan !
#NammaVeettuPillai Interval: A proper family drama in progress, very engaging so far. Lots of characters led by @Siva_Kartikeyan and @aishu_dil, interesting situations, genuinely funny moments and great music. @pandiraj_dir has got the meter right again!
Haricharan Pudipeddi: @pandiraj_dir and team have another winner with #NammaVeetuPilai, a familiar family drama that knows its strengths and uses it effectively to entertain.
@Siva_Kartikeyan is good as the doting brother and delivers a mature performance. @aishu_dil , as always, shines strongly
Veer: #NammaVeettuPillai: Story & Screenplay Is Decent At Best But Mostly Messy & All Over The Place. Other Than #Mailaanji The Music Is Worst. The Hero #SK Is Over Acting In Every Frame. Heroine Dubbing Is Very Poor. A. Rajesh's Performance Is The Only Good Thing
Rajasekar: #NammaVeetuPillai first half- For me, this one is working way better than #KadaiKuttySingam. @pandiraj_dir 's writing is very organic and fantastic so far.
@Siva_Kartikeyan - @aishu_dil steal the show, charaterizations of the ensemble actors have also been done well. Good going #NammaVeettuPilai - Blockbuster written all over. Will be the next level film for @Siva_Kartikeyan in terms of BO and he has also tremendously improved as an actor. The biggest success of @pandiraj_dir is he has outsmarted his previous BB #KKS w.r.t writing & execution. #NammaVeetuPillai first half- For me, this one is working way better than #KadaiKuttySingam.
