Performances:
Aravind Swamy tops the show and he has been natural in the assigned role. As a struggling brother, Aravind performed well and he excelled in the action episodes. Arun Vijay has been spotted performing some dare delvil stunts in the film. He showed different variations with perfection throughout the film. Simbu is a treat to watch and he was thoroughly entertaining. Prakash Raj had a limited role and he was perfect. Jyothika, Aishwarya Rajesh and Aditi Rao Hydari did justice for their roles. All the other actors have been decent.
The story of Nawab looks good and reminds us about the classics of Mani Ratnam. The screenplay and dialogues have been just ok. The cinematography work has been a treat and should be well appreciated. The music and background score have been decent. The production values make the film look grand and the editing has been good. Mani Ratnam has been decent with his abilities and Nawab ends up as an impressive thriller and will impress a section of audience.
Verdict:
Nawab is one more disappointment from Mani Ratnam and will end up impressing a section of audience. The performances by the lead actors and the twists will be appreciated.
Rating: 2.75/5
