Jayam
Ravi's
some
of
his
recent
movies
have
been
average
grossers.
In
spite
of
giving
his
best
to
his
roles,
the
actor
single-handedly
could
not
deliver
a
superhit.
So,
his
latest
movie
Nimirnthu
Nil
(Nimirindhu
Nil)
has
gained
importance,
as
a
commercial
hit
is
very
necessary
for
him
at
this
stage
of
his
career.
The
Santhosh
Subramaniam
star
has
teamed
up
with
Samuthirakani
for
Nimirnthu
Nil.
The
combo,
for
all
good
reasons,
generates
a
kind
of
curiosity
in
the
minds
of
audience,
as
both
have
their
different
work
culture.
While
the
actor
is
known
for
his
purely
commercial
actor
image,
the
latter
has
made
off
beat
content,
mainly
friendhship
theme
flicks,
with
all
the
necessary
commercial
ingredients.
So,
what
have
they
offered?
Find
it
in
the
review.
Samuthirakani,
for
a
change,
has
chosen
vigilante
theme.
It
is
tried
and
tested
genre
which
often
goes
well
with
audience
as
it
exposes
the
angry
of
a
common
man
towards
the
corrupt
system.
In
Nimirnthu
Nil
too,
an
ordinary
man
takes
law
into
his
hands
to
uproot
the
corruption.
The
director
has
taken
inspiration
from
the
anti-corruption
activities
of
the
recent
years.
Arvind
Swamy
played
Jayam
Ravi
was
brought
up
in
an
ashram
run
by
Nassar.
The
atmosphere
that
he
grew
thought
him
high
moral
values,
disciplines,
dignity,
devotion
etc.
But
when
he
comes
out
of
the
place,
his
belief
and
learning
will
be
questioned
by
the
cancerous
system.
It
unsettles
him
and
make
him
fight
against
the
immoral
cultures
of
the
society.
Rating:
2.5/5
He
decides
to
taken
on
corrupt
bureaucrats
and
his
friend
Soori
and
journalist
played
by
Gopinath
joins
him
in
his
mission
to
fight
against
the
corruption.
They
successfully
expose
147
government
officials
including
a
court
judge
and
an
MP
are
also
caught
taking
bribes.
Now,
all
those
corrupted
officials
team
up
to
take
on
Arvind
Swamy
and
his
team.
What
happens
next
forms
the
interesting
part
of
the
story.
Analysis
–
First
Half
Nimirnthu
Nil
keeps
you
engaged
in
the
first
half.
The
curiosity
part
is
high
here
and
the
interesting
narration
touches
the
pulse
of
the
audience.
Analysis
–
Second
Half
In
the
second
half,
Nimirnthu
Nil
is
not
up
to
the
expectations,
as
the
director's
script
goes
out
of
the
main
track.
The
director
tries
to
bring
in
many
things
into
the
story
and
it
appears
like
the
vigilante
part
goes
for
a
toss.
Jayam
Ravi
Jayam
Ravi
is
energetic
and
it
is
exciting
to
see
him
maturing
as
an
actor.
His
body
language
is
good
and
he
gets
full
marks
for
his
role.
But
his
dual
characters
in
the
film
is
not
completely
justified.
Other
Cast
Amala
Paul
is
just
his
arm
candy
and
she
doesn't
have
much
to
do
in
the
film.
Ragini
Dwivedi
is
wasted.
Sarath
Kumar
has
performed
well
in
his
guest
role,
Gopinath
does
neat
job
and
rest
others
are
okay.
Music/Cinematography
Departments
'Kaadhal
nergaiyil'
and
'Negizhiyinil'
songs
are
our
picks.
GV
Prakash
Kumar's
composition
is
above
average.
Cinematography
by
M
Sukumar
-
M
Jeevan
is
above
average.
Verdict:
Overall,
Nimirnthu
Nil,
which
could
have
been
an
wonderful
affair,
turns
out
to
be
an
average
film
in
the
end.
Watch
the
film
if
you
like
vigilante
films.
