Cast: Idoh The Dog, Sibiraj, Arundhati, Balaji Venugopal, Mayilsamy, ManobalaDirection: Shakti Soundar RajanGenre: ThrillerDuration: 1 hour 54 minutes
Synopsis: A dog helps his new master, a police officer, in the hunt for his missing wife, who has been kidnapped by a revenge-seeking criminal.
Movie Review: In some ways, Naaigal Jaakirathai feels like a new-age Rama Narayanan film — a pet helping the hero to overcome the villains is a trope that the director has used many times — but Shakti Soundar Rajan dials down on the camp and gives us a film that is more of an investigative thriller in which the dog plays a central role.
Karthik ( Sibiraj), a cop, gets injured during a shootout while he is trying to rescue a kidnapped girl, and is put out of action. He is separated from his wife, Renu ( Arundhati), and lives with his school-going sister, Vidya. He turns into a slob, whiling away his worries with beers, but soon enough Subramani (Idoh) lands in his house. The dog, who has seen action in the military, takes a liking to him after he rescues it from a gang of naughty kids, and Karthik, too, after a while grows fond of it. Shakti perfectly captures why they need each other in a scene in which he crosscuts between Shaggy and Scooby Doo on TV to Karthik and Subramani. Both have seen gun shots and have lost someone dear and so, this brings them closer.
Meanwhile, Renu is kidnapped by the man who was part of the shootout earlier,
