A simplistic high-concept comedy that could have been more inventive -

Naai Sekar Movie Consider: Kishore Rajkumar’s Naai Sekar has an excellent premise for a satisfying film, notably a kids-centric one. The brilliance of this idea is its simplicity – what if an individual bitten by a canine begins behaving like one, whereas the begins to level out human qualities?

The protagonist proper here is Sekar (Sathish), an IT employee, who’s in love alongside together with his colleague Pooja (Pavithra Lakshmi, a assured debut). A person who hates canines, Sekar by likelihood will get bitten by Padayappa (with the voice of Shiva, who brings his wry humour), a Labrador that’s being experimented upon by Rajarajan, a scientist. Man begins to point out the animal’s traits whereas the canine begins to behave like an individual. At a time when there’s an appraisal underway at work, and a gathering with Pooja’s father inside the offing, can Sekar set points correct sooner than it’s too late?

With a premise ripe with promise for a satisfying journey, Kishore Rajkumar doesn't ought to try too onerous to make a great entertainer out of Naai Sekar. And in Sathish, he'll get the acceptable actor for this operate. Everyone knows the actor as a comic book, so various the antics that he has to do after being bitten by the canine (like biting a character beneath his hip) does probably not really feel like image-damaging stuff. On the equivalent time, he’s moreover acceptable as a every day man with a romantic curiosity. The actor, in his half, will get the mannerisms correct, be it hanging his tongue out or exhibiting pet eyes. The characters moreover seem quirky – a comic book e-book villain (Ganesh of Shankar-Ganesh duo – a casting seems funnier as an thought and fewer so on show) who sings a lot, a scientist (George Maryan) who sports activities actions T-shirts which have wacky descriptions like Ezhaikalin Einstein Naan, Chinna Stephen Hawking, and Just about-u Aristotle, and a scaredy cat cop who’s a fan of the yesteryear actor Krodham Prem. There are even a number of seen gags, like animals named after Rajini film titles and a Korean restaurant named Bong Joon Hoo Restaurant! The pop cultural references, from the background scores to clips of yesteryear motion pictures, are moreover spot on.

Nonetheless the problem with Naai Sekar is that it’s content material materials to be a time cross comedy when it might have been one factor truly, outrageously humorous. Kishore Rajkumar seems to have gone about writing the script with a tips of points he should embrace in a dog-related movie – the pliability to odor, the liking for biscuits, the urge to urinate on a lamppost and so forth. And the scenes that occur inside the IT office are pedestrian and clichéd. What variety of situations do we have now now to see Manobala and Lollu Sabha Swaminathan having fun with managers? And the wackiness of the villain and his henchmen should have resulted in funnier moments, which isn’t the case proper here. The film settles for low-brow humour when it might have executed far more.

There’s moreover the feeling that the writing deserved a pair further rewrites. For example, the arc involving two small-time canine thieves who promote them to a restaurant that makes canine meat, which isn't sketched properly. In its present sort, Naai Sekar is extra prone to enchantment further to youngsters, notably these under-10. For the rest, it's a film that will actually really feel humorous in parts and juvenile within the the rest.
