Thoonga Nagaram

<p>Kannan ( ), Ayyavu ( ), Rajamani ( ), and Mariappan (Nishanth) are four friends who live their lives in their own way in Madurai. They are callous youths who go hammer and tongs to make both ends meet. Kannan, a wedding videographer, comes across his cousin Radha ( ), who is a compere in a local cable TV channel, and love blossoms between them. However, one event changes the course of their life. Kannan bashes a youth for taking obscene video clippings of a girl and blackmailing her with ulterior motive. The youth’s father (Kamala theatre owner Raju) finds out the men behind the attack on his son. He hatches a conspiracy and ensures that the friends themselves turn foes for each other. In the meantime, it is time for Kannan to tie the knot with Radha. Did the baddie succeed in his mission is the crux of the story. The soundtrack consists of seven tracks including one remix number from tuned by Sundar C. Babu. It was released by Think Music. A critic from wrote, “The director introduces a couple of twists and turns to pep up his narration, but the story leads to a loose end with loopholes and unanswered questions. As a result, neither the bonding nor the betrayal comes across strongly and convincingly.” Pavithra Srinivasan of rated the film 2.5/5 stars and wrote, “After a fairly slow first half, the screenplay picks up pace in the second. There are a few edge-of-the-seat moments that work quite well. […] While the dialect hits the spot at times, the tedium of predictability sets in; you’ve seen many movies by now, where the scenario and conversations are identical.” A critic from gave it 2.5 stars and wrote, “Overall manages to entertain with some thrill in the second half.”</p>
