There are several memorable moments that showcase his outstanding acting like when he has a dispute with his daughter and hits her, his outburst on seeing his son’s dead body ,when he meets his daughter who had left him after a gap of few years and when she doesn’t allow him to see his grandson. He just literally lived as Velu Naicker on screen.He had to portray three phases of Velu Naicker’s life – as a young man, middle aged man and then in his last days- and from his body language, posture, walk to voice modulation ,all were pitch perfect in those parts. Kamal Hassan delivered the performance of a life time in Nayagan.

The dialogues were top-class and Ilaiyaraja’s song – ‘Thenpaandi cheemayile’ that repeats throughout the movie is an absolute gem. The movie making style ,cinematography, techniques used, even the performances all looked like at a time much ahead of 1987. When you watch the movie today, its difficult to imagine this was a movie that released 26 years back. Nayagan is also one of those rare movies that defied time. What we know is Velu Naicker is one of the most well written and acted characters in Indian Cinema. At the end of the movie ,his grandchild asks him – ‘Neenga nallavara kettavara’ (‘Are you a good man or bad man’ -another popular dialogue used again in the recent Vishwaroopam ) and Velu Naicker says ‘I don’t know’. As a boy, he has heard from his foster father – ‘Naalu perku udhaviyenna yethuvum thappille'(‘ Its not wrong if that helps people’- a much famous dialogue) and he has lived his whole life by that principle.So he does smuggling activities but always lend a helping hand to the people who come before him. Nayagan told the story of how an ordinary young man, Velu Naicker rises to a don and leader to the people in Dharavi.
