Nassar as Vinodhan, an actor turned politician and Sathyaraj as Mahendran, a sincere political reporter, have played their parts well. This could be because of a certain real-life yogi.

It feels like the filmmakers succumbed to making a generic movie instead of focusing on singular points. Here, the story comes second to the satirical political commentary, which isn’t satisfying to watch. How he deals with the corrupt yogi would have been a better premise to prove Varun’s capability as a CM rather than tackling natural disasters, which only serve to emotionally manipulate audiences. Especially considering how he doesn’t take the bull by its horns. This sort of grey character has been played by Vijay Deverakonda successfully before, but this time Varun falls short. However, he isn’t above playing dirty politics. For instance, a solid 15 minutes in the film are dedicated to an entire sequence of a city being hit with floods and how well Varun manages the entire catastrophe. The writer, Shan Karuppusamy, and director Anand Shankar spend a lot of time in defining Varun as a capable politician, instead of showing the policies he would like to impletement. While the film is satisfactory to point, the performances are not deeply rooted in the reality of these situations. The plot itself has some highlights and there are many applause-worthy moments, but these are surely because the scenes rely more on reminding audiences of real life situations than showing them splendid performances. It stresses how clueless they are and tries to prove how an educated man when invested in politics can turn things around. These politicians’ scant capability is rubbed on the faces of the audience. So maybe it is that,” they discuss among themselves. “After all, we do have to stay awake and work all night. The older men, however, wonder if he meant ‘bar room’.
What is a war room exactly? For Varun, a person who Netflix and chills, war rooms are what he’s seen in movies. It says something about how inadequate politicians in the country are today.įor instance, when a state is under emergency, the strapping young man from London, Varun, suggests opening a war room.
Particularly hilarious is the moment when several MLAs are taken to a resort to convince them to vote for a corrupt man. “Is this musical chairs or the throne of a statesman who rules?” she asks.įrom a thug-turned-politician falling on his party leader’s feet to a ‘yogi’ indirectly ruling the state – it’s all rooted in reality. One line of dialogue delivered by Sanchana Natarajan’s young politician from the opposition party sets the tone for the entire film.
The character of Varun, played by Vijay Deverakonda in NOTA, only emphasises how appalling this is.Īudiences in Tamil Nadu would surely be able to relate to this strange plot after all, they were also given a new Chief Minister overnight. Sounds atrocious, doesn’t it? Illogical, even.
Instead, he ends up becoming the Chief Minister of an Indian state overnight. Rating: 2.5/5 NOTA movie review: Vijay Deverakonda plays a rowdy politician in his recent outing.Ī young man who loves working abroad visits India to spend time with his sister and party with his friends. Cast: Vijay Deverakonda, Sathyaraj, Nassar, Sanchana Natarajan, Mehreen Pirzada
