Slow and Melancholic.
Mysskin has come out with another heart wrenching story. The film works in bits and pieces, as the pace is very slow and not even. The plus point of the film is Ilayaraja’s outstanding melodies and background score, it is soothing and in harmony with the theme of the film. The boy Aswath Ram is impr...(more)

For seekers of worthy cinema.
You can't look for pace in such a true-to-life narration as Nandalala. Yet the adventures keep you glued. The wizard of re-recording does it yet again.

Mind-blowing & Marvelous.
A taut screenplay, scintillating shots and above all the flawless background score by Illayaraja sets up the momentum. The complex characters, simple human faces and the funny encounters sustain interest all through. Three cheers to Mysskin not just as a director but as an actor too. He brings out r...(more)
