Chennayil Oru Naal, directed by Shaheed Kader is the remake of Malayalam film 'Traffic'. Sarathkumar, Radhika, Jayaprakash, Prakash Raj have played key roles in the film. Mejo Joseph has scored the music, Shehnad Jalal has handled the cinematography and Mahesh Narayanan has done the editing.

Story Plot : 

Chennayil Oru Naal, is about a challenging task of saving a young girl's life who requires the heart of the donor to be transported through roadway from Chennai to Vellore. In the beginning, the story narration is split in equal shares for introducing the characters Sathyamoorthy (Cheran), Gautham Krishna (Prakash Raj) Robin (Prasanna) and Raadhika, who get into to the core plot of the film later.

Sathyamoorthy, a traffic constable, who has suffered suspension following a bribe case, volunteers to drive the car and save the girl's life in order to earn back his lost pride. Sundara Pandian (Sarathkumar) is the traffic police commissioner, who acts as the brain behind the plan. The challenging mission and the hurdles faced during it, forms the rest of the story.

Review : 

The idea of having a heart transportation as a key plot of the film is really fresh and has challenge written all over it.

As the film's screenplay juggles a lot of sequences at a given time, it has demanded a perfect editing work and we must say that Mahesh Narayanan has delivered it without any flaws.

Time constraint acts as the the first challenging factor for the mission, but the rest of the reasons which are showcased as the cause of a delay in the mission are unconvincing.

Director Shaheed has failed to maintain the tense mood in the screenplay and the scenes taken in the control room, where Sarathkumar tries to get back his control on the lost vehicle could have been shot much better.

Songs and background score of Mejo Joseph remind us of other tracks which we have heard earlier. The BGM which is repeatedly used in the sad scenes reminds us of ‘Ayayayoo Aananthamey’ song from Kumki.

Verdict : Chennaiyil Oru Naal an important Day
Rating : 3.5 / 5
