Movie Story: A worldwide hockey player who has left the game lifts it up again to save the ground of a local team.



Movie Review: Natpe Thunai starts with Prabhakaran (Adhi), a happy-go-lucky youngster in Pondicherry, whose solitary desire is to move to France. He goes to Karaikal for this reason, yet there he winds up beginning to look all starry eyed at Deepa (Anagha), a hockey player. Furthermore, through her, he interacts with Shanmugam, a resigned military man who is the mentor of the neighborhood hockey team.

A corporate is after the ground where Shanmugam's players practice, and they are supported by the nearby lawmaker Harichandran (Karu Palaniappan). How Prabha ends up engaged with this and aides Shanmugam and his group shapes the plot.
Natpe Thunai feels like a mix of plot strings from various movies. There is the angle about a lot of individuals who need to win in a game to win back what is legitimately theirs. The game here is hockey, and as in Chak De India, we get a simple mentor. A sub-plot about a companion who surrenders his life after his fantasy is defeated by the framework that gets a handle on straight of Gentleman. Another plot string, including a corporate that is subtly attempting to set up its industrial facility (clearly, it is destructive to the earth) by dislodging a gathering of individuals, helps us to remember Kaththi.
Be that as it may, the film never meets up overall. Also, it isn't a result of the unique storylines. The issue is that the film doesn't utilize any of those successfully. It gets one string just to drop in after several scenes and proceeds onward to the following one leaving us unsatisfied. The filmmaking, as well, imitates this methodology. No minute is permitted to wait for long. Also, the fast cuts don't help. The film feels like it is in a steady condition of race to proceed onward to the following scene – even before the present one has achieved its decision. What's more, this is the reason it feels genuinely uninvolving. We are barely contributed with the character and their battles. Indeed, even the games scenes are shot in a slapdash manner that we are scarcely stirred during the climactic stretch.



What it offers is transient delight. Also, this, it accomplishes with optimistic lines (spoken by Prabha), political parody (through Harichandran, who talks just in zingers) and a feeling of alliance (through its throwing of YouTube stars). The catastrophe is that its intended interest group – the 20-something swarm – is happy with such a methodology.
