Naaigal Jaakirathai is Nathambal Film Factory's production, starring Sibiraj, Idoh the Belgian Shepherd and Arundathi in lead roles, under Shakthi Soundar Rajan's direction.

Karthik (Sibiraj) is a fun-loving young Police officer, who arrives with his colleague at an unused factory where reports of a kidnapped girl being held arise. On reaching the spot, Karthik fights with the kidnappers and saves the girl, but despite all the kidnappers being killed, Karthik's colleague Arul gets shot accidentally and Karthik also takes a bullet to his leg. However, the gang leader alone escapes. Karthik takes to booze as his wife (Arundhati) leaves him for not quitting his job as he promised earlier and he is suffering from the incident's trauma while his leg is recuperating. Karthik's neighbour asks him to take care of his pet dog for a few days, while he travels out of station, to which Karthik refuses. In an inebriated state, Karthik saves the same dog - Subramani (Idoh) after kids throw crackers on it. Subramani is an army trained dog who lost his master to a terrorist attack. Thus forms an unlikely friendship between Karthik and Subramani. The gang leader kidnaps Karthik's wife and buries her alive in a coffin, taunting Karthik to find her. Can Karthik and Subramani save her in time? What other crooked plans does the intelligent gang leader have? Watch Naaigal Jaakirathai to know...

Director Shakti Soundar Rajan showed his capability through his earlier movie Naanayam itself. He has proved again that he can keep providing twists and turns and surprise the audiences at different stages of the movie. The concept is innovative and the way the dog plays an integral role, almost one of the leads, has been well crafted. The screenplay is good, especially in the first half. Sibiraj has played the part of the Police officer, very well. He has toned down his physique a lot and fits the character of Karthik perfectly. Arundhati does not have a very meaty role, but impresses in the scenes she is a part of. The biggest star of the movie has to definitely be Idoh, the Belgian Shepherd dog. The stunts and the overall performance is just sparkling. Idoh's trainer needs to have a special mention too for getting it to perform so well. Balaji turns up in a new avatar and convinces with his facial expressions and voice modulations. Other supporting artistes have also done well. Dharan's music is foot tapping and the 'Doggie Style' number is brilliant.

Naaigal Jaakirathai is a heart-touching must-watch treat for all canine lovers!
