Nimirndhu Nil(2014) Review: Anti corruption tales are not new to Tamil cinema where we had major actors' ace directors' and huge production value invested enough in this genre "Nimirndhu Nil" fits this category as well.
Plot majorly focuses on anti corruption, bribe on Government sectors and how an ordinary individual takes things on his hands to make a corruption free environment. Hmm yes I know what you are thinking this one line we have heard and seen in so many yester year releases?! Yes its right I also felt the same. So much of cliché from movies like Anniyan, Indian, Citizen, Samurai, Mudhalvan, Satyagraha (Hindi recent flick). Particularly Anti corruption wing and the name Aravind even a small child will say it resembles AAI. Can't help my mind instinct thinking of Anniyan Rules Ramanujam role during the intro portrayal of Ravi.
Screenplay was speedy enough to keep you engaged in the first half and the second half of the movie became corrupted with unnecessary character inclusions, song sequences and item numbers.
Casting side we find huge ensemble of support cast from Tamil industry. Off course Ravi did a decent performance on his role. Vijay TV Gopi was natural in his role which fits his real profession as well. Suri and Amala had good screen space on the start then lost track. Sarath kumar's role did not definitely stay on your heart.
On the whole I have to say a racy first-half and a crap second- half.
