Veteran director K Balachander's Naan Avanillai was considered a film much ahead of its time. Director Selvah managed to come up with a remake of the evergreen classic giving it a coloured coating.

Hemmed in by five heroines, Jeevan has a whale of a time in the slickly directed version of Selvah. Produced by Japak, Naan Avanillai has successfully completed a 50-day run in theatres and is still going strong. Amidst films with the hero mouthing loads of punch dialogues and a gun in tow, the movie has come as a pleasant surprise for this genre of audience.

Jeevan’s good performance as a cool dude Casanova and the able support of leading ladies Sneha, Malavika, Namitha, Keerthi Chawla and Jyothirmayi wooed audience to theatres.

Even for the ones who had seen the original, the remake providing the right joy thanks to the engrossing look of the projected version. Job well done Selvah.
