Nagaram (2010)

Whats it about:
The movie starts from the moment the hero is stabbed and then moves to a flashback. 'Gate' Selvam is brought out from by jail after 5 yrs inside, by his police friend Sakkarai Pandian. The unsuspecting Selvam loves his friends to the core. He wishes to live a good life, marry his neighborhood lady love and have a baby and settle in life.
      But his corrupt police friend involves him in a smuggling racket at the harbor, drug peddling and more and more gangsters. Selvam and Sakkarai get mixed up with a big shot gangster, Bhai and this time it is curtains to their friendship. Selvam comes to know that his friend is just using him for his illegal money earning activities. Finally, the duo are pursued by Bhai's men for the murder of Bhai and it is payback time for the duo ...

                                                                        

Hits

• A nice engrossing screenplay. Never a dull moment. Might be a known story of friendship, betrayal, gangsters. But definitely watchable. 
• Vadivelu and his silly funny antics throughout the movie never fails to make you laugh. What a comedian :)
• Anuya looks absolutely enticing in sarees and is a good match to Sundar. Their love track is quite mature with 2 hum-able melodies by Thaman.S
• Sundar scores more as the director and does his usual goonda act as the hero. His narration of his life story that comes at places in the movie is Gautam Menonesque ... 
• The climax is different and the guy who finally nabs Selvam is a shocker indeed. 

Misses

• In the climax, the villains don't know to use their guns to shoot our hero and waste their bullets, whereas our hero with a single gun wipes them all. Typical commercial cinema. 

VERDICT

Could have had a better run at the box office. Certainly watch worthy
