2 / 6Vijay Sethupathi
Oru Nalla Naal Paathu Solren has two men headlining the film one of whom is the talented, versatile actor Vijay Sethupathi. The actor now has an enviable track record with some unconventional roles and memorable performances, giving us some expectations from the films he is associated with.
3 / 6Gautham Karthik
One of the promising talents of the industry, Gautham’s flair for comedy has been established in Hara Hara Mahadev Ki. From the teaser, Oru Nalla Naal Pathu Solren seems to have Gautham in his element.
4 / 6Comic caper
Oru Nalla Naal Pathu Solren has Vijay Sethupathi playing a tribal leader named ‘Yaman’, in something that sounds closely like a track related to the death god. But the director Armugakumar has clarified that the film isn’t mythological but it is rather a full-fledged comic caper.
5 / 6Justin Prabhakaran
Justin Prabhakaran has been giving us good tunes for some time now -- remember Pannaiyarum Padminiyum and Oru Naal Koothu? But the composer has given his quirkiest best in Oru Nalla Naal Pathu Solren. Whacky to the maximum, the visuals to these tunes should definitely be entertaining.
6 / 6Unconventional premise
The film is said to revolve around a tribal leader and a young man on the Tamil Nadu-Andhra Pradesh border. The story outline seems quite new and unconventional, considering that the last time we saw a funny tribal leader was in Raghava Lawrence’s Irumbu Kottayil Murattu Singam.
