    • Reviews

    The Hindu wrote "After "Ennamma Kannu" Shakti Chidambaram made the viewer take notice of his wit and comic sense again in "Charlie Chaplin." [..] In "Maha Nadigan" the humour is back, though he could have concentrated a little more on the storyline too". Indiaglitz wrote "Sakthi Chidambaram deserves kudos for a bold and honest film. But usually bold films are laced with anger, but Mahanadigan is full of poignant humor."

    Release

    Made on a shoe-string budget, Maganadigan was a hit.
