Naanga is a long walk down the memory lane of few college students who have studied together about 2 decades ago and how their life takes lots of twist and turns over the years. The present and the past are juxtaposed in each one’s life and show the stark realities of how dreams of youth and fate of life don’t cross path in most of our lives.
The story begins with one of the primary character Devi who recovers from Coma after 25 long years from her college days (way backy in 1985) and how upon hearing the news, all her close classmates (group of boys and girls) plan a re-union to commemorate her recovery and give her a new lease of life which she was deprived in her primary youth.
The movie is very realistic as it pictures the actual youthfulness, aspirations, dreams and priorities of college goers in the by-gone era. All the actors casted in the movie are new faces and hence there are no expectations set on their performance and hence their portrayal of witty, playful, fitful characters as winners, loosers, anguished youths is very convincible to the audience and they keep you floored from beginning to end. Atleast you don’t suspect any bit of overacting on either of their performance, which itself is a good reason to make the movie very much watchable.
Life is not always bed of roses, this one doesn’t realize when young. Like a fiery wind, college student life is boundless, filled with lots of confidence, arrogance, determination and preconceived notion that they can get what they want. But reality is way different and not all they explore gives desirable results, which is very well shown. Couple of fairy-tale love affairs which looks so simple with boy seeing girl & falling in love and vice versa takes interesting twist and turns and ends up tragic for reasons which are even more meaningful than their love and makes them a victim of their own desire knowingly or unknowingly making them helpless to fight for their right to love. Ofcourse, not all the young couple in love turn unlucky, there are few who get lucky too. But we need to wait and watch to see who wins and who looses.
The songs in the movie are not so impressive, but in fact become more an hindrance when the screenplay and the story is going very interesting. The title song alone captures your attention.
Naanga is surely a good entertainer and very much relates to every college goers. It is a good youthful subject with lots of youthfulness and enthusiasm. It is certainly worth the watch to remind the viewers, the memories of their college life.
