Naai Sekar Return Review

Naai Sekar Returns Movie Review: Though Vadivelu hasn't been in action for quite a few years, his comic one-liners stand the test of time and are an essential part of youngsters’ vocabulary in Tamil Nadu. That is why when Naai Sekar, his character in this comeback film, utters a few of his popular dialogues, the Vadivelu fan within us wants us to celebrate. But then, everything ends there. Suraaj, the director of Naai Sekar Returns, makes no effort to pen an interesting screenplay and merely relies on his star’s yesteryear jokes and antics. There are some really fun moments in the second half, but they don’t help the film much.

Naai Sekar Returns begins by introducing two quirky kidnappers — Dass (Anand Raj) and Naai Sekar (Vadivelu). While the former abducts girls, the latter kidnaps expensive dogs for money. Trouble begins when Naai Sekar kidnaps Dass’s favourite pet dog, giving us a lead to a face-off scene. This paves the way for him to learn about his family’s past and how their lucky dog was taken away, leading to the family’s fall from grace.

The second half of the movie deals with Naai Sekar’s antics to rescue his family dog from a now-influential kingpin, Max, in Hyderabad. Can Naai Sekar pull this mission off successfully?

Vadivelu’s Naai Sekar Returns has a plot that’s new in many ways. Having a protagonist who is a dog kidnapper is sufficient enough to pull off a decent entertainer. However, Suraaj fails miserably to infuse interesting elements and subplots to hold our interest, and doesn't even evoke laughter (the reason why we have even chosen to watch the film).

Vadivelu is always a delight to watch on the big screen, but even he can do only so much when faced with such weak writing. Anand Raj’s one-liners work and that’s the only saviour of the film. His combination scenes with Vadivelu are fun and something to watch out for. Shivani Narayanan plays Max’s sister and has done justice to the role and delivered what’s expected out of her character. But if the writing had been better, it would have added some sense to the script. Sivaangi appears only for a short duration of time and there’s no room for her to perform. Redin Kingsley could concentrate on his comic timing instead of just repeating his antics of merely being loud.

Santhosh Narayanan’s quirky songs and background score help elevate a few sequences, but otherwise, the technical aspects of the film are strictly average. Naai Sekar Returns might not be the best return for Vadivelu, but for at least now, let’s be happy that he is back, and hope better roles bring out the fantastic performer in him.

The movie "Naai Sekar Returns" has received a mixed review from the audiences. Despite being an iconic comic figure in Tamil Nadu, Vadivelu's comeback film has failed to live up to the expectations. The director, Suraaj, relied heavily on Vadivelu's past jokes and one-liners, but failed to create an engaging storyline.

The movie introduces two unusual kidnappers, Naai Sekar (played by Vadivelu) and Dass (played by Anand Raj), who have different motives for their abductions. Naai Sekar is a dog kidnapper while Dass abducts girls. The film revolves around Naai Sekar's mission to rescue a dog, which leads to a confrontation with a powerful kingpin in Hyderabad.

Despite the unique plot, the film lacks interesting elements and subplots, making it difficult for the audience to hold their interest. Vadivelu's performance is entertaining as always, but the weak writing limits his potential. Anand Raj's one-liners are a highlight of the film and his combination scenes with Vadivelu are enjoyable. Shivani Narayanan delivers a strong performance as Max's sister, while Sivaangi appears only briefly and has no room to showcase her talent. Redin Kingsley could have improved his comic timing instead of relying solely on being loud.

The soundtrack and background score by Santhosh Narayanan add some quirkiness to the film, but the technical aspects are average. Overall, Naai Sekar Returns may not be the best return for Vadivelu, but fans are happy to see him back on the big screen. Hopefully, better roles in the future will bring out the fantastic performer in him.

Naai Sekar Returns, the comeback film for comedian Vadivelu, fails to live up to expectations despite the star's undeniable comedic talent. Despite the iconic status of Vadivelu's past one-liners, which remain popular among young Tamil audiences, the film lacks a compelling script. Instead, director Suraaj relies solely on Vadivelu's tried-and-true jokes, leaving the film feeling uninspired. Although there are a few entertaining moments in the latter half of the film, they are not enough to save the lackluster story.

The film follows the antics of Naai Sekar and his accomplice Dass (played by Anand Raj), who are both in the business of kidnapping - Naai Sekar snatches dogs for ransom, while Dass abducts young women. When Naai Sekar abducts Dass's beloved pet, it leads to a showdown and the discovery of a mysterious family history. The second half of the film focuses on Naai Sekar's mission to rescue his family's dog from the clutches of the powerful kingpin Max.

While the idea of a dog-napping protagonist is intriguing, Suraaj fails to flesh out the story or add enough humor to keep audiences engaged. Even Vadivelu's talent is not enough to elevate the film. Anand Raj provides some comic relief with his one-liners, while Shivani Narayanan delivers a solid performance as Max's sister. However, the writing is simply not strong enough to bring the characters to life. The technical aspects of the film, including Santhosh Narayanan's quirky music, are average at best.

In conclusion, Naai Sekar Returns falls short of expectations, but fans of Vadivelu can at least be happy to see him back on the big screen. Hopefully, better scripts and roles will give the talented performer a chance to shine in the future.
