But his scenes in the first half are intolerant, mainly due to the loud characterizations of Kingsley and It Is Prashanth. Terrible costume design, intended to be funny but are irritation for the eyes. Mismatch of lip movement and dialogues is a huge issue in the movie, a part of each and every scene is out-of-sync trying to improve the quality in the dubbing stage. Sadly, he occupies only one fourth of the movie, and the rest are painful to sit through. Thumbs up to the Anandaraj’s portions, they are saviour of the film as the situation has been established well and so the jokes click. Introduction: Naai Sekar Returns marks the comeback of Vaigaipuyal Vadivelu to the big screens as a lead hero.

Vadivelu gets his starring-role comeback in Suraj's film. But this is not the comeback the ace comedian or his fans deserved.

But with Suraj’s film making the comedian a ghost of his former self, with one joke after another landing with a dull thump, the air is almost tragicomic. The film treats the comedian with demigod status, as early as his introduction shot — this is interspersed with a glowing montage of some of his classic funnyman roles. But when his furry baby is abducted by Naai Sekar by accident, a rivalry is quick to form, and he is on his tail (pun not intended). He in fact goes on to slip in some of his most beloved dialogues into his lines. Like the OG Naai Sekar, a rowdy with a nose ring and a lot of kinks, the new and improved Naai Sekar too is a ruffian of some kind. But in the vast landscape of Tamil pop culture, he goes by various others — all characters from his illustrious wall of fame — with delightful prefixes.

Directed by Suraj, Naai Sekar Returns is an underwhelming affair that banks majorly on the star power of Vadivelu rather than on its writing.

Vadivelu’s comedy in the past worked majorly because of the brilliant supporting actors — like Halwa Vasu, Bonda Mani, Singamuthu, Muthukaalai, the list goes on — who at times outperformed the star. At present, Sekar is a dog kidnapper who along with his good-for-nothing accomplices holds dogs of rich people hostage and demands a ransom. While that was a cleverly-written periodical satire, Naai Sekar Returns is a lazy comedy sketch stretched to appear like a movie. He claims the dog has extraordinary powers and would make its owners rich and affluent. Naai Sekar Returns is one of the many such attempts by However, this doesn’t mean a capable actor like Vadivelu can never play a lead in a film, but that a comedy sketch or skit (more so when it is unfunny) can never make up for a comedy film, and Naai Sekar Returns just bears witness to that.
