Direction: Gaurav
Music: Sundar C Babu
What makes the film work is its cast of comparatively newcomers along with first timers, and the surprise twist in the climax. Debutant director Gaurav’s Thoonga Nagaram keeps us glued to our seats with its twists and turns. The director has reworked the ‘Made in Madurai’ formula with its usual friendship theme in a different manner, packaged with entertainment ingredients.The title is apt, as the story is set in Madurai. Director Ameer a Madurai resident in his voice over introduces us to the city and the four central characters – Kannan (Vimal) a videographer, Mariappan (Nishanth) a dumb guy who works as a store assistant, Ayyaoor (Bharani) an electrician, and Rajamanickam (Gaurav) working at the electric crematorium.
They come from different neighbouring small towns near Madurai and meet at the local tasmac bar and then become friends. Radha (Anjali), a local cable television anchor is Kannan’s childhood sweetheart.
Madurai brings together the happy go-lucky young men together, and they bond well, leading life without a care in the world. Suddenly they are drawn into a situation where Kannan, due to circumstances is forced to brutally beat up the son of the local don Periya Thappa (VN Chidambaram), who runs the illegal sand mafia.
Our heroes are on the run and they go back to their respective towns. But the don’s men soon find that Kannan is the man they want as he is all set to marry Radha. How the four-member gang draws out a perfect plan forms the suspense element in the climax.
