Audience Member Very well made movie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Surprising well scripted film with reasonably tight screenplay ! Tri-lingual in parts with Tamil, Hindi and English built into dialogue exchanges quite seamlessly. Impressive! This film also refreshingly provides multiple perspectives : hijacked and as well as the hijacker's perspective. The commercial format of the movies makes it endearing and the ensemble cast memorable. Nagarjuna looks great for his age which I hear is 50+ and portrays an intelligent as well as an enterprising commando leader. This larger than life character keeps the plot together and the screenplay interesting. Worth multiple viewings. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member I really liked Payanam because it was totally different than the usual Kollywood/Tollywood movies. Payanam is about a plane hijacking incident and that is a theme which you rarely see in Tamil/Telugu movies.The movie had the action and the thrill. I also liked the cast a lot, I think that all of them did a good job. It's a pity that you don't get to see a lot of action from Nagarjuna though. Another good thing about this movie is that there are no songs, no love clichés and the typical fights. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Different theme for a Tamil movie, excellent screen play and sequences. Very good acting by all except the main villain. He was using the flight deck as if he walked on a ramp, he should have had more agreessive dialogues and delivery. Second half is even more better than the first. Littlebit of richness would have added value to a hijack movie. Only slip I feel is unnecessary comedy dialogues between the "Actor" and his "fan". Songs would be odd n this movie, so is a comedy sequence. We want movies with a diffrence and PAYANAM is one such trend setters Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Radha Mohan proved it yet another time. He showed greater versatility as a director. Good one to watch. Absolutely there is no heroism, songs and stunt sequences. Very different movie.
