Sudeep and Flora in Nammanna
  Nammanna - film review

Never judge a book by its cover. Looks can be quite illusory! Nammanna, remake of Tamil movie Aanna is just a sample. Problem with Nammanna lies in the fact that the concept is too old and is overused. It has the soul of an old film in the body of a new team! No doubt, every character here has its significance, but the film lacks the grip to keep you engaged.

Ramya and Sudeep and Master Chandan in NammannaIf you look at the flipside, it's a story of a young man who fights against the odds of the society. Such concepts and stories exist forever and hence is not dated! However, there is a similarity between Sudeep's previous movie Kashi from village and Nammanna. Kaashi comes from a village with his younger brother with loads of dreams. In Nammanna, Muttanna comes from jungle departing from his tribal community. In both the films, a silent hero turns violent after the brutal murder of his younger brother.

Muttanna leaves the forest under a strange circumstance and heads towards the city. This innocent guy starts his new life in the city. With the help of a neighboring teacher his younger brother gets an admission to a school. In the mean while Muttanna falls in love with the teacher. While life is going smooth, fate plays its card. His brother becomes an eyewitness for a murder and the rival group puts an end to his life. From here onwards, innocent Muttanna turns violent and moves on to take revenge on all the culprits and anti social elements. And Muttanna becomes Nammanna!

Sudeep in NammannaSudeep is the heart and soul of the film. His appearance in three different getup thrills the fans and he is at his usual best. The actor delivers a flawless performance yet again. You won't find anything unusual from director N. Shankar. Gurukiran has created a remix song from 'Tunturu…' of Amrutha Varshini. Two of the supporting artists are from other language and hence you can see the lip synch problem. Avinash and Sadhu Kokila have done their best. Anjali Javeri is the right fit for her role while Flora Shiny, the second heroine shines too particularly in fights! Money spend on this project is seen on the screen in terms of richness and quality.
