Labelled as the boldest Tamil film to date,debutant Adhik Ravichandran's 'Trisha Illana Nayanthara' is a half-baked attempt for exploiting the still underdeveloped adult-comedy genre in Tollywood mixing up some crude references and few daring sequences inside a template that's clichéd and old-school.
I wonder why the censors gave this film an 'A' when the so called bold sequences are so mainstream these days.There are some never-before seen adventurous sequences in the movie,but that's far and few in the narration that extends to around 150 minutes.The question that arise here is,Now that you are aiming at the certificate,why go so reserved? One cannot deny the fact that Bollywood adult-comedies like Grand Masti and Kya Kool Hain Hum have exploited the genre way better giving full credits to the stamp that they had stick on to.
The abundance of misogynistic dialogs may find its takers in the youth of today,but a more convincing screenplay could have acted as a mirror towards the present generation that's more interested in Love induced by hormones rather than heart.Some hilarious one-liners like "Virgin Pasanga Saapam ungale Summa Vidaathu" were good.The subplot involving Simran was totally lackluster and avoidable.
Music director turned actor G.V.Prakashkumar was good as a typical Tamil lad 'Jeeva' who is desperately in search for 'the one'.Anandhi was the pick among the cast and gave yet another notable performance as Remya.Manisha Yadav was okayish whereas Simran was wasted in a poorly written role.VTV Ganesh couldn't score much with his lines except for the "Dinosaur dialogue'.The surprise cameos were interesting.
The peppy songs by G.V.P lifted the mood with its energetic vocals and colorful choreography.The melodious duet "Yennaachu Yedhaachu" came out really well on screen.Edits by Anthony.L.Ruben and visuals by Richard.M.Nathan were fine.
Overall,Trisha Illana Nayanthara is lazy attempt that could have been treated much better.
