Tamil film industry closely strikes an impertinent connection with ‘Snake’ movies. There have been more movies churned under this genre that includes some of the biggest hits. Nearly after a long sabbatical gap, we come across a similar flick titled ‘Nanjupuram’. But make a guess – it’s not an usual snake based movie where the creature takes new avatar as a beautiful woman and comes out to seek revenge.
Years back we got into an enthralling experience of watching a edge-on-seat Hollywood thriller ‘Snakes on the Plane’ that was a standout flick based on an horrendous scenario of flights haunting the flight and its passengers at 30,000 ft.
Let’s get started with ‘Nanjupuram’

Nanjupuram as signified by the title is about a village that is filled poisonous snakes and the villagers are victimized by its venoms. Velu (Raghav) is the film’s protagonist, a free-wheeling type guy romancing a beautiful belle Mala (Monica). The two become so obsessed with each other that they get physical. On an unexpected turn of event, when a snake runs in for injecting its venom on Mala, Velu becomes the savior, but doesn’t kill the snake, but taps on it. Consequently, it leaves villagers to rekindle the hearsays of past – Snake that in injured, but not killed will seek its revenge. Ensuring for Velu’s safety, the villagers arrange out a safety place for 40days that will keep him away from hazardous situation.
But what unfolds next is a simple tale that is based on the famous fable – King Vs Snake and a twist through Lemon… (If not aware, hear it from your grannies).
Starting off with our analysis, we must appreciate Raghav for taking such a good and impressive effort. We have already seen his performance though in minor roles, he has been pretty good. The high-skilled actor does some magic on music as well. Monica and her oomph factor speaks a lot than her performance while rest of the star-casts have done justice to their roles.
On the flip side, the film shot in a digital camera leaves the visual outputs on below average level, but the graphic works have been done well.
If Rama Narayanan takes special efforts to promote the film, it can do a fair business in box office.
