Beware of Midnight Dogs...

Hi all, 
I had one idea in my mind,that blogs are meant to be fun,and thats wat I expect from reading blogs.. So i decided only good things should be in my blog, but after seein this movie, I had no other medium to vent out my anger..This is purely my point of view, and u may hav a entirely different look for the movie. Gautam Menon,whose movies are known for very good songs,and camera work , has tried a new idea for this,thats the only thing positive in the movie.. The story is about a psycho guy, its only about that. The movie says its based on a real life story, and I don know what was the original incidents,and whether those incidents in the movies are what happened really..NN , comes out of the banner of Photon Kathas, Gautam Menon's own production house ,and RS Infotainment , which produced VTV, Gautam Menon's previous flick.

The movie has no songs, no background sounds , which is a rare thing in Tamil Cinema, thats a brave attempt by Gautam Menon, kudos to him !! But from my perspective,he should have done that for some other decent subject,other than this.

Probably, his idea was to convey the real life incidents ,in real manner..
The camera work is done by Manoj Paramahamsa, of Earam and VTV fame. His work is really good in this movie again, his lighting has definitely improved from Earam, which was a Ghost movie,and this movie , which is a combination of all mental disorders as far as I know.
Kudos to his work,he has created the effect among the audience through his camera work, with no background sounds, thats really a terrific achievement, the climax part, he stands out clearly, he should hav definitely put in a lot of effort to convey the character's essence.
This is one of the very best camera efforts , among the movies, which I have seen. I have no idea about the camera work though, still if I can tell the amount of work involved,definitely people who are into photography and related stuffs will definitely appreciate hos work..

Then comes editing , Antony ,who is again the regular editor for his flicks from Kakka Kakka to this one, has done his best to create the thrill effect, which traditionally other movies induce by the sound effects. His cuts has been good, particularly during the climax , and scenes during the initial flashback. The psycho character's essence is made clear to the audience only thru his editing for sure.

Art direction again by Rajeevan, again a part of Gautam Menon's films from the past, has put his best in this too.
 I guess as far as the critics go,this movie , is a great attempt , with the technicalities , and the story bein conveyed , the final message watever he intended to tel is told .
But from my perspective , who is jus another boy in this world, this movie , fails to arouse the thrill which the the movie said in its trailers, the story is too predictable , after the initial 15 mins, it took 1 hour to convey,how a psycho killer will feel , which I felt worse. Climax part is good, but on the whole my take on the movie is , why make such a movie,which is good only for the critics.

This movie , is definitely not for family audiences, and its promotion said it will be of genre of Sivappu Rojakkal, a BharathiRaja movie. I guess it didn fit exactly , the thrill part is missing, its only scary due to the vulgarity shown , there is alwas a difference between thriller and a scary picture,  the former is lacking in this movie. The movie displays too much of vulgar content, which they have tried their level best , to reduce, but it cant be reduced more than this, as the plot itself is like that :(

And for the name , as Nadunisi Naigal , dogs come in the climax , as to thrill the audience in the climax scenes, but I feel it should have been much before, all we felt in the theater during that time was, when wil the climax end, so that we go out to see the result or highlights of the worldcup match..


My final take on this movie, a creditable achievement by Gautam Menon and team , but its worthy too watch Payanam or Yutham Sei or the world cup even, u can atleas save ur bucks for a better flick nex time !!
For all you people fans , of  breezy romantic scenes of Gautam Menon , this is definitely not a movie for you folks ! For all people fans of movies, who love to see different kinda movie,this may be the one for you,no assurances ...
And for all VTV die hard fans, a small scene from this movie Nadunisi Naigal,comes in VTV !! Find it out !!

Bye till nex,
