Production

edit

Director Ravichandran re-emerged from a sabbatical and began making a film on friendship featuring his nephew Raj Bharath during late 2014. Other rookie actors Amzath Khan, Reshmi Menon and Tejaswi Madivada were signed on to play further leading roles in the project.[2] Raj Bharath also worked as an assistant director to Ravichandran during the making of the film.[3] The film's shoot progressed throughout mid 2014 in Bangalore, Mysore, Chennai and Pondicherry, before the climax scenes were shot in October 2014.[4][5]

Despite being ready for release in April 2015, the team failed to find a distributor amidst several other film releases during the period. The team subsequently added another song, featuring Raju Sundaram, before announcing their release date in March 2016.[6]

Reception

edit

The film opened to mixed reviews upon release in March 2016, with a critic from The Hindu noting it has an "interesting premise but is a disappointing film".[8] Likewise, another critic from The New Indian Express wrote "Natpadhigaram would have been an apt tribute to friendship and love, if only the screenplay was crafted more coherently and convincingly".[9]
