Five reasons to watch Jyothika starrer Naachiyaar

It is Valentine's week and interestingly, Kollywood is devoid of happy love tales on the big screen. However, award-winning director Bala's Naachiyaar is releasing this week. While Bala's stories are an unconventional choice for Valentine's weekend, here are five reasons why we think you should watch the film.

A Bala film: Bala's stories function in a world that several might find dark. However, the stories he spins are hard-hitting; no one will deny that. Bala's films tend to stay with you long after you have left the theater, whether you like it or not.

Ilaiyaraaja: Bala's go-to music director, the Isaignani is back in business. Naachiyaar will be the first release of Ilaiyaraaja after he received his Padmavibushan Award. What better way to celebrate his music?

A woman-centric film: Bala's films have always had strong female characters who are integral to the plot. But, this is the first film that can be given the tag of a woman-centric film. Definitely an interpretation worth watching for.
