Selective amnesia might have been a done to death phenomenon in Tamil cinema. But in director Balaji Tharaneetharan’s hands, the topic takes a new twist as a comedy by taking a leaf out of a real story about an accidental memory loss.

Trade Talk

The stable collections have been steadfast over weekdays, while weekends witness a slight spike in earnings.

Public Talk

This year has been the year of small making it big – small movies like KSY, Pizza and NKPK have shown the way for others.

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.
