Karthik (Sibi Raj) is a Police Officer and Subramani (Idho ) is a Military Trained Belgian Shepherd,They work together in their jobs,One day Karthik's wife is kidnapped by an unknown Gang,What Karthik and Subramanai do to save her forms the rest of the story.
Performances:-
Sibiraj as Karthik - He is said to have done a lot of research for almost 4 years to get into the skin of his character,and the hard work has helped indeed,He is energetic and confident,probably he would get his much needed break through this film.
Idho as Subramani the Dog - This is something unusual,not often do we get to see animals play such meaty roles in films,This is quite surprising and I think If Filmfare revises rules to allow animals for award nominations , then surely Idho deserves a filmfare nomination for its performance.
Arundhathi as Karthik's wife - Her screenspace is very limited and she is okay in her role and thats it for her performance.
Balaji as the Villain - Despite his underdeveloped Character in the film,Balaji packs a punch in this powerful role and I think we might get to see more of this actor in future.
Technicalities:-
Cinematography by Nizam Sharfi - Again another highlight of the film very good camera work, he makes the best use of the weather conditions and tricky shots.
Editing by Praveen KL - A repeat of Sigaram Thodu,Sharply edited every frame and the converted the screenplay smoothly with laser sharp cuts and transitions.
Music by Dharan - This is probably his best album since Poda Podi,for me it was better than that,the theme music along with the En Nenjil song are top notch and they bring a lot of energy to the film.
Writing & Direction Shakthi Sounder Rajan :-
Unlike a few others I actually liked Nanayam,many of my friends including a few people in Facebook said that Nanayam is just mashup of several Hollywood style robbery films,I think they should think about it once more because the real fact they only took inspiration and inspiration is not bad thing If someone could make quality films like these,Sakthi's work in this film is one to be remembered for several years,not just for the crisp screenplay and the complex narrative structure but also for the his direction,in a time where several directors find it hard to get the correct performance from experienced actors,Here is a director who managed to get a brilliant performance from a dog. The only I was dis-appointed was with the Climax,it ends like any other Investigation thriller would but in this one there is not enough justification for the motive of the villain,he kidnaps Karthik's wife but why? .. That is the only problem with this well crafted modern day thriller.
Plus:-
Sibiraj
Idho
Balaji
Cinematography
Editing
Theme Music & En Nenjil song
Direction
Minus :-
Climax
Less developed scenes
Lack of depth in romance which was needed.
The Final Word: NK is a well crafted Thriller with brilliant performances from actors and the dog, Perfect film to watch for this Weekend.
Rating: 7.5/10
