Review : Oru Nalla Naal Paathu Solren (ONNPS) is the kind of film that might have seemed funny as a concept. But it is also the kind of film that is very difficult to translate from script to screen. Even if you have actors who can capture the spirit of the film, you need filmmaking flair that makes the comedy come alive on screen. And this is where ONNPS fails, for what we get is a comedy that isn't funny — mostly.
Vijay Sethupathi is one of the few actors in Kollywood who does not have qualms about working with newcomers. He has once again teamed up with a debutant, P Arumugakumar, for the movie Oru Nalla Naal Paathu Solren.
It is a multi-starrer that also has Gautham Karthik, Niharika Konidela (niece of Telugu Megastar Chiranjeevi), Gayathrie and Ramesh Thilak.
Oru Nalla Naal Paathu Solren has Sree Saravanan's editing and R Govindraaj's music. Justin Prabhakaran has scored the music. A few songs from the film, including Yae Elumba Enni Enni, has struck a chord with listeners.
As the title of the Tamil movie indicates, it is a rib-tickling comedy. Oru Nalla Naal Paathu Solren is set in the backdrop of a tribal village in the forest and as well as in a city.
Vijay Sethupathi, who will be seen in eight different avatars, plays Yaman, the head of a tribal group and gang of thieves in Andhra Pradesh. Although they are robbers, they believe in humanity, which adds a unique layer to the storyline.
Yaman stays in both the city and the village. Gautham Karthik plays a college student named Harish. What happens when they come face to face forms the crux of the story.The trailer and the promos of Oru Nalla Naal Paathu Solren have impressed viewers. With a lot of success behind Vijay Sethupathi, who has preferred not become typecast, filmgoers have a strong reason to keenly wait for the release of his latest flick.
