Plot

Chandraprakash works in a satellite channel as a news anchor. When his competitive channel excels his channel, his superiors pressurize him, making him make some hasty decisions. Soon after he decided to quit, he was offered a good position in his competitive channel. What was Chandraprakash’s decision? Did he accept the offer? The rest of the film deals with it.

Star Performance

Tovino has given an excellent performance as Chandraprakash. This is a different one from his previous roles. Anna Ben did her part well. The rest of the cast has done what was needed from them.

Analysis

The film showcases the TRP hunger of the channels and how the employees are targeted with a target. The first half of Naradan takes time to establish the plot. The first half will definitely disappoint you if you expect a racy screenplay. Some scenes appear silly, and we could feel the pressure experienced by the media workers. There are some exciting courtroom scenes and power politics. The characters are properly designed, and the right choices are made for the roles. The cinematography is good, and the editing is okayish. The music department has done a decent job.

What’s There?

  • The story is the biggest plus
  • The performances of the stars are neat

What’s Not There?

  • The slow first half

Verdict

 Aashiq Abu has made an exciting film with a good set of actors. If the first half had been made better, the film might have reached better. However, it is definitely watchable once!
