NGK (2019)
6/10
Inconsistent 2nd half made it an average political satire film

Warning: Spoilers
Firstly, I like Director Selva's past projects. Secondly, don't go with expectations for this film, it'll totally disappoint you in every way.

Coming to the film, Director Selvaraghavan tried a different political satire film, i appreciate that but i must say it's a failed one. "Anbe Peranbe" song didn't suit at all during that scene. Suriya did his best, his outrageous scenes didn't feel that much of a overacting. Sai pallavi did overact at certain scenes(you'll know after watching the film). Rakul preet's character was so complicated, at first she was like a 'boss lady, Ms. Confidence' etc, then after few scenes, she became like a 'love girl' out of nowhere. Suriya's father was used only for a phone call scene, he was like a puppet throughout the film. After interval block, he gets admitted to hospital. Instead of making kumaran unconscious and planning to kill him with a silenced gun, why not just poison him in the first place? Next scene, Bathroom fight scene, this was illogical as he was only partially conscious and fought everyone without any struggle. Kumaran did turn into villain at climax but lots of inconsistency scenes made it look like an average flick.

Director Selva didn't have a full understanding of how politics works on real life. This film had the potential to be one of the better movies, so sad it got flushed away gradually. Suriya fans maybe satisfied by this film but not the general audience, 6.5/10.
