This is the fahter and duaghter relationship based heart touching story. Krishna (Vikram) is a mentally disabled person who has a five year old daughter Vennela (Baby Sarah). One day Vennela’s granddad comes and takes her away from Krishna and tells that Krishna can’t bring her up on his own. A junior lawyer Anu (Anushka) takes up Krishna’s case and she has to face a very big lawyer (Nazar) to win the case. Does Krishna and Anu succeed to get back Vennela or not is the rest of the story.
Analysis:
First half of the film is completely dedicated to develop the father-daughter bond. Every scene is cute and heart touching in the first half. Though the movie is slow paced it grabbed the good attention from the audience. Director did his best in making audience stay in their seats throughout the movie for two and half hours..
Second half of the film is simply super. Suddenly the pace picks up and the movie races ahead. Anushka and Santhanam did well to make this part entertaining. Court scenes are good although few defy logic. As the time goes on the film gets heavier and finally climax is the main highlight of this movie.. Last scene in the court touches you and leaves you with a lump in the throat. Most of the audience can’t help but cry in those heart touching scenes where the father and daughter just speak to each other through signs.
The ending of Nanna is brilliant too. It is the best solution for it and we walk out of the theatres with heavy hearts. Nanna is not for masala movie lovers and people who walk in to the theatres with a can of popcorn.
Performances:
This is definitely one of the top performances of Vikram. His antics as a mentally retarded man are superb. You won’t see Vikram in few scenes. We will get a feeling that he is really suffering with that disorder. Hats off to the great actor. Also his makeup and costumes deserves special applause.
Anushka comes up with a winning performance. Her character is innocent yet sincere. Santhanam brings in few laughs with his one-liners. Nazar is at his very best. Amala Paul didn’t have much scope. Watch out for his expressions where he is left dumbstruck in the climax court room scene. Priceless. Everyone did their part very well and the little kid Sarah is so confident.
Plus Points:
- Vikram’s performance
- Story
- Climax
- Background score
Minus points:
- Dragged a bit in the first hour
- Very slow paced
THis moive opened with the weak collections. But definitely picks up with mouth publcity.
Nanna Review rating: 4/5
