Naradan

Synopsis/Plot : Chandraprakash, an up-and-coming journalist working with the channel News Malayalam, is a talk show host and television news anchor with a huge audience appeal. He is under pressure for doing stories that increase the channel's rating from his editors and bosses. When a fellow journalist, Pradeep does a new story and lands a job at News Malayalam, Chandraprakash throws away his own moral principles and focuses on being the number one. Investors seeking new revenue streams invest in him and he starts Narada News, through which he becomes a kingmaker, an influential person who is able to provoke social violence. Fabricated and half-baked stories become his strategy to meet his ends and the film explores whether a sociopath, power hungry person like him who thrives under the guise of an unassuming journalist could ever be stopped.

Naaradan keeps you hooked with a tight screenplay on modern-day journalism.

Naaradan is a Tovino show, with a razor-sharp focus on his character's development and barely any focus on side characters. With a more comprehensive character development, the film could have been better. Nevertheless, it's a gripping entertainer for the weekend.(more)

A middling commentary on sensationalism

There are a lot of such flaws, but the intent of Naradan is almost flawless. However, as the credits roll, there is a sense of gratification as it instills a huge 'what if'' about the future of Indian journalism.(more)
