Jiiva and Nayanthara's much-awaited "Thirunaal" hit the screens on Friday, Aug. 5. It is an action movie written and directed by PS Ramnatha and produced by M Senthil Kumar. Meenakshi, Sharath Lohitashwa, Gobinath, Karunas, Joe Malloori, VIS Jayapalan and others play pivotal roles in the Tamil film, which features Srikanth Deva's music, Mahesh Muthuswami's cinematography and VT Vijayan's editing.
Jiiva, who has been part of back-to-back flops in the recent years, is hoping to return to good form with "Thirunaal," which has managed to generate a lot of curiosity with its trailer and other promotional material. Nayanthara, who has delivered a series of hits, is wishing to continue her dream run with the latest movie. This is her second film with the hero, after "E."
"Thirunaal" tells the story of a local rowdy character named Blade (Jiiva), who tries to change himself after falling in love with a kindergarten teacher, played by Nayanthara. The issues that the hero faces once he changes his ways forms the crux of the story. The film, which is shot in Thanjavur and Kumbakonam, delivers the message that one cannot survive by indulging in criminal activities.

#Thirunaal [2.5/5]: @Actorjiiva has a good role and excels well as the mean rowdy.. #Nayanthara is good.. But not a meaty role for her..
#Thirunaal [2.5/5]: Dir #Ramnath could have made the screenplay more interesting and racy.. The movie is slow and predictable..
