Nandalala (2010) watch online

Nandalala is a 2010 Indian Tamil-language road drama film written and directed by Mysskin. He himself plays the lead role, alongside newcomer Ashwath Ram and Snigdha Akolkar. The film, which is produced by Ayngaran International and scored by Ilaiyaraaja, is based on the 1999 Japanese film Kikujiro, and partly inspired from Mysskin's life. It illustrates the road journey of a mentally challenged adult and an eight-year-old schoolboy, both in search of their respective mothers.

Mysskin began developing Nandalala in 2006, penning the scriptment for eight months. Supposed to be filmed, after the release of Mysskin's debut film Chithiram Pesuthadi (2006), the film was shelved since no producer came forward to fund the film, and was launched only in 2008, after the release of Myshkin's second film Anjathe (2008). It was completed by December 2008, but got stuck in development hell later, with no distributors willing to release the film.

Following numerous preview shows and screenings at several film festivals, the film eventually released on 26 November 2010. It received critical acclaim but fared poorly at the box office.
