Well, as expected Nandhala despite getting great ratings,its cash registers are not ringing greatly and tanked at the box-office.It joins the league of :
1.Shawsank Redemption - This movie tanked at the box-office but currently in IMDB this is the all time favorite movie,has been ranked No.1 for years/decades.
2.Anbe Sivam - Had a disastrous run in the box-office,however all the educated youth has added this movie as one of their favorites movies in their profile.Again it is one of the best movies in the last decade.
And finally Nandhala which should have hit the bull's-eye has failed miserably despite flawless direction and heart-touching music by Maestro and supported by brilliant technical elements.
In my opinion,Nandhala deserves 4.9/5,it loses 0.1 only because Myskkin failed to use the songs and soothing music scored by Maestro in the film.Ilayaraja was awarded National Award this year on the newly added category called Best Background score.
I would say Nandhala score is a milestone in his career.Just the background music talks about the story and no need of any dialog.
Hats-off to the Cast and Crew of this film.It forms the baseline for the upcoming movies.Myskkin joins the league of directors who makes meaningful cinema with extra-ordinary technical stuffs.
I remember one thing once Kamal hasan said,in cinema you never know which will work-out and which will not and Nandhala is the standing proof of the later.
Feeling sorry for the friends who missed out the movie in the theatres.
Well,only one thing which is hard to digest would be the implication if such movies have horrible runs in the box-office.Good scripts would not be accepted by the producers and directors end up in doing what the producers suggest which is off-course masala stuffs.Tamil cinema already lost many fire-fighters like Mahendran,Balu Mahendra,Bharathiraja.This much bleeding is enough for now.
