It's raining cats and dogs and all we see is a hard working Nandha Gopalan Kumaran, known as NGK, who works hard in her organic farm. He quits his job at a multinational company and decides to return to farming and thinks that's the way to go. NGK is a man of heart who wants to do good to people. He gets the simplest introduction scene there is. In all his career.
NGK decides to tackle a problem in his area and appeals to a corrupt local MP (played by Ilavarasu). It's a decisive moment in the life of NGK when he realizes the power of politics. He is drawn into the movie even as he tests his existence.
NGK director Selvaraghavan takes the road to Pudhupettai, very comfortable. Both films speak of a guy from the lower strata of society, who is pushed to the extreme by the company to outdo itself. However, the NGK scenario lacks elements that could have made the whole process interesting. Unlike Pudhupettai, NGK is a set of subscribed scenes prepared by the director
The film, NGK, has a handful of actors who go from time to time with their performance. Even Suriya, who wears the film from beginning to end, exaggerates her gesture and spoils the intensity. However, his performance is literally the film's saving grace, drowning in mediocre performance.
Usually, Selvaraghavan outlines strong characterizations for women in his films. But Geetha Kumari of Sai Pallavi is a new addition to the brigade "los ponu". She blindly supports her husband, NGK, but goes into the Chandramukhi mode when she suspects him of having an extra-marital affair.
Rakul Preet as Vanathi, Public Relations Officer, is impressive. Again, his character is depressed when "the angle of love" comes in. With the first half, Selvaraghavan slowly builds the story, but the second half is purely atrocious. Looks like you're sitting in a totally different movie.
Suriya shines his own moments and he does it effortlessly. Whether it's his stage talk or his fight sequence in a break room (which also means that he takes two women at once – a refreshing touch actually), he does it with elan.
NGK does not belong to Suriya or Selvaraghavan. He tries to take the field of understanding and fails miserably at that. The emotional journey of the politician NGK does not even evoke emotion in you. You just look at the screen with a wooden face.
The benefits of the film are the brilliant background music of Yuvan Shankar Raja and the impeccable work of cinematographer Sivakumar Vijayan. Moreover, Selvaraghavan's dialogues in certain sequences remind us of how much he is capable as a director and screenwriter. Unfortunately, with NGK, he seems to have weakened more than he could bear.
The combo of director Selvaraghavan and Suriya is enough to excite us all. But, with an incoherent scenario and a subscribed character, NGK is a colossal disappointment.
2 out of 5 stars for NGK.
