NKPK is a comedy drama that touches upon an unusual subject, that of an accidental short term memory loss. Starring Vijay Sethupathi and a bunch of debut actors like Bagavathi Perumal, Rajkumar and Vigneswaran, the movie is a laugh riot.
It opened with rave reviews, excellent word of mouth and has achieved an above average status at the box-office. Given its minuscule budget, the collections are mighty impressive.
Vijay Sethupathy’s time in the limelight has arrived. He has finally been spotted by the filmmakers and producers alike.

Comedies with their heart at the right place are very rare in Tamil films and for that reason, NKPK comes as a whiff of fresh air in the midst of romances and action films. Starring Vijay Sethupathy in the lead role, the movie is about a man’s short-term memory loss.

A humorous tale about selective amnesia and the aftereffects of a harmless cricket game just before a wedding, is what NKPK focuses on. Earnest performances by its lead actors lift the movie above a usual comedy to almost the status of a cult classic.
After an average opening, the movie is now being received with wide open hands and full houses.
This has been a very good year for Vijay Sethupathy, whose two films have been declared consecutive hits.

Just as we were raving about Pizza, comes another small film directed by a debut director, Balaji Tharaneetharan. A comedy starring Vijay Sethupathi and Gayathri, the movie is reportedly inspired from real life.
The movie has opened to average houses but has the potential to elevate itself to good collections because word of mouth and reviews have been strong.
Vijay Sethupathi and his performance are the talking points of the movie.
