Neram by Alphonse Putharen (Review)




Story:A rich story with multiple characters and the connection between them. A good romance, thriller, comedy and action. Well planned narration and a good way to pass the message to the audience. The plotting were similar to Aaranya Kaandam, how one character get involved with each and every key characters in the movie. The conclusion was kind of epic. Well done job for a newcomer.

Cast: The youtube viral "Nenjodu Cherthu" song pair Nivin Pauly and Nazriya Nazim were casted as the lead characters in the movie. Nivin Pauly played Vetri. He did quite good for a debutant. Very good body language and acting. Well played action scenes full of energy. overall it was a good beginning. Nazriya Nazim played Veni. She is so cute and a good choice of lead lady. The chemistry worked very well for both of them. Dialogue presentation was good since she is well versed in Tamil. Unlike many actresses who cant even speak tamil and spoil the lip sync. A supportive character for the movie. And then we have Simhaa who is going places with Naalaiya Iyakunar directors movies like Pizza, Kathalil Sothapuvathu Epidi and Soothu Kavvum. He played Vatti Raja, a badass loan shark and one of his best performance. He had his own punch dialogue or tagline in this movie. He is the main villain and an Important booster for the movie. John Vijay played S.I. Kattu Kunju. He did what he does best, a comical police officer. Well played. RJ Ramesh Thilak as a pickpocketer by the name Lighthouse. He is the turning point of the movie. And then we have a cameo by Nassar and a few supporting characters like Thambi Ramaiah, Charlie, Ananth Nag, Shabareesh Varma, Crane Manohar, Deepak Nathan and many more.

Screenplay: One of the best screenplay I've watched in recent times. So many characters and the director manage to link them accordingly in a day event. The interconnection were well planned, hardly can see a flaws there.The director manage to place good level of balance in romance. thriller, comedy and action. None of it overlap each other. Very good editing. it was done by the director himself. without the editing the movie is nothing. Good transitions for each and every scene.The cinematography deserves credits. Good shade of colours and angles. The best is chasing scenes, the camera movement was superb. The were quite a lot of slow-motion in this movie. This is something you will come across in Malayalam movies. Since the director is a malayalee and the movie was made in both Tamil and Malayalam, the touch is there. But the slow-motion did suit certain scenes but not all. The first half was slightly draggy but the second half was energetic till the end. He added both slow and fast elements to show high and low of the movie. The BGM is another booster for the movie. It really gave life for the scenes. Especially the "Pistah" soundtrack, really made the scenes energetic. Kaathal Enulle also well picturized. Cute and romantic. And finally the director manage deliver the message clearly to the audience. After every bad time there's always a good time.

Music: Composed by Rajesh Murugesan, it was awesome. good sense of music.

Plus Point: Story and plotting, Screenplay, Cast, Editing, Cinematography, Music

Minus Point:Draggy first half, unnecessary slow-motion

Verdict: You may watch this in cinema if you liked Aaranya Kaandam way of narration. But this movie has good commercial value and everyone would enjoy it.
