If you are making a film to glorify mobsters and make the police evil, you couldn't have done a better job.
In one sloppy scene, the rooftop changes mid-scene-and as the sun went down, the two scenes were probably separated by 15 minutes or so-making the sun seem VERY weird in India! Apart from these cosmetic problems, the film was excellent.
What the filmmakers could have done better was the direction and editing. Fortunately, newer Indian films are VERY professional-among the best made and produced films in the world. In ALL the 70s and 80s Indian films I've seen, the sound of the music was pretty terrible. This is because too much of the dialog is NOT captioned! Why?! It could be worse-but at least they captioned the songs-something other video companies often don't do! Another problem I don't blame the filmmakers for is the tinny sounding music (yes, singing in a gangster film). Some of what is bad about this film is not the fault of the filmmakers and will only cause issues if you watch the Pyramid DVD.
#NAYAGAN 2008 FULL MOVIE MOVIE#
There's MUCH more to this movie than this-just see the film for yourself to see. However, like Robin Hood, Ratnavelu ALSO tries to bring justice to the poor and is a very just man-in his own way. Considering his childhood, this shouldn't come as a big surprise. Now he's a mobster-a mob boss who is adored by the poor. Now Ratnavelu is an adult and has learned the life on the streets well. He then runs off to Mumbai (far from his Tamil roots in Southern India) and lives life on the streets-with no family and no home. Later, at the funeral, the young boy, Ratnavelu, grabs a knife and stabs one of the policemen there. Then, when they found the father, they murdered him. So, they let him go and follow at a distance. They want to know where the boy's father is but the kid won't talk. "Nayakan" begins with a little boy being beaten by some cops. There are probably man other differences. Additionally, while Mudaliar might have been a good guy in some ways, in real life he was responsible for the sale of narcotics-something not exactly heroic. While both were apparently beloved by the community, Mudaliar's real life death was incredibly boring and was nothing like the film. However, when I read up on this criminal's career, it was quite different from the guy in this film-very. This film is supposed to be based on the life of mobster Varadarajan Mudaliar.
