Nimirnthu Nil Movie Preview



Cast:    Jayam Ravi, Amala Paul
Direction:    Samuthirakani
Production:    K.S.Srinivasan
Music:    GV Prakash

After a gap of one year, Jeyam Ravi is going to back on screen; this time  with director Samuthirakani, who has given runaway hits ‘Nadodigal’ and ‘Porali’. With this film, director Samuthirakani brings us a movie with a social message presented in unique style but Jayam Ravi has clarified that the film will satisfy the needs of a commercial entertainer and not completely message oriented.  Interestingly, Jeyam Ravi plays dual roles consecutively for the second time, after ‘Ameerin Aadhi Bhagavan’ which did not garner enough recognition for the actor’s hard work.

Amala Paul plays the lead lady and also the love interest of Jeyam Ravi in  ‘Nimirnthu Nil’. This film will be crucial in her career since her latest film Thalaiva with Ilayathalabathi Vijay failed to make wonders at the box office.

The film went on the floors as early as in November 2012 and the main reason for its delayed release is attributed to be the time taken to prepare the bilingual flick simultaneously. In Telugu, the film is titled ‘Janda Pai Kapiraju’ and stars Nani as the protagonist. Both Tamil and Telugu versions hit the screens this Friday.

From the trailers, it looks like one of the two roles that Ravi plays is that of the 40+ year old baddie, while the other is presumably a responsible citizen and is the protagonist. Before Amala Paul was finalized, Nayanthara was approached for the role, but due to issues with availability of dates, the former clinched the deal nonetheless. Actor Sarathkumar who has started his stint as a character artiste with films like Chennaiyil Oru Naal is playing a pivotal role in this film while popular Television anchor Gopinath is appearing has himself in the film.

Audio of the film, composed by GV Prakash was launched in November last year, amidst speculation and widely popular response. With the rise in audience for variety, ‘Nimirnthu Nil’ is gearing up for a massive launch.

Nimirnthu Nil Music Review



Cast:    Jayam Ravi, Amala Paul
Direction:    Samuthirakani
Production:    K.S.Srinivasan
Music:    GV Prakash

Directed by award winning director Samuthrikani, Jeyam Ravi acts in this action packed entertainer. Also starring Amala Paul, Meghana and Sarathkumar, the music is rendered by GV Prakash. Now how has the album fared out? Let us find out

1. Kaadhal Nergaiyil

Singer(s): Javed Ali, Shashaa, G.V. Prakash Kumar

Without a doubt Javed ali steals the show with his nectar like vocals in this number which has hints of classical sufi all over. Romance is certainly in the air and GV has captured it hands down with there is more to the ears than just a normal melody. The harmonious inclusion of flute and classical percussions add the sync to the cupid strike which is penned by Kabilan.

2. Don’t worry

Singer(s): Gaana Bala, S. Chella

And yes, Gaana Bala is the regular lad these days and GV teams up yet again. A simple straightforward song with pipes and whistles sets the mood of happiness in life without problems and as usual Bala has penned the lyrics too. Somehow the lyrics don’t live up to the expectations even though music is a winner by all means.

3. Rajadhi Raja

Singer(s): Hemachandra

Probably Jeyam Ravi’s introduction song that starts up slow with the folky satire and slowly brings up a string of orchestration to entice. There is something about this song that is strangely reminiscent and misses the extra mile, even though it’s an abode of adaptation. The recursive bass and trump in the background makes you go nuts, but the intentional thump is missing somehow. A possible hero worship song as any Kollywood hero can ask for.

4. Negizhyinil

Singer(s): Haricharan, Saindhavi

A soft and harmonious song uplifts the emotional mood through Saindhavi’s dusky vocals. Added to haricharan’s magical voice, the song is GV special without a doubt. The choice of instrumentation too is mild and doesn’t go dense between the interludes as well, and gives a sense of soothing. Another biggest asset of this song is Madan Karky’s lyrics which gets you hooked to the verses that brings romance in a lateral way.

5. Bhagavat Gita verses

Singer(s): Haricharan

In a sort of aggressive impression, the verses from the Holy book of Gita are sung by Haricharan in an uplifting manner. The theme and aroma of this trance is absolute sensation, and GV has crooned it rather belligerently to bring the mood.

Nimirnthu Nil Movie Review



Cast:    Jayam Ravi, Amala Paul
Direction:    Samuthirakani
Production:    K.S.Srinivasan
Music:    GV Prakash

Director Samthirikani after highlighting the depth of friendship and inevitability of self positive attitude in his last two films Nadodigal and Poraali respectively has taken up corruption this time. The corruption he wishes to address is not just the kickbakcs received by Government staff and politicians. He speaks about a larger debate. He endeavors to speak of the system corrupting everyone and the necessity of upholding one’s personal morals.

Aravind Sivaswamy (Jayam Ravi) gets his education in an ashram school and a college associated with a Christian missionary. He grows up as a man who considers truthfulness and self discipline as most important virtues of life. Once he steps into the society as a grown up young man, he finds the entire system is corrupt and his righteousness is being mocked by everyone He decides to take on the bureaucrats whose corruptness spoils even those who wish to live a righteous life like him.

With the help of his friend (Soori), a Lawyer (Panju Subbu), a group of uncorrupt bureaucrats and a popular News anchor (Gopinath) he exposes 147 bureaucrats including a Judge and a Member of Palriament receiving bribe.

The officials facing legal charges form as a group and chalk out various plans to disprove their charge.But only if their charges are upheld in the court, there can be a change in the system as wished by Aravind. How he achieves that, forms the rest of Nimirndhu Nil.

Samuthirakani seems to have been inspired by the uprising of Student force in the nation wide protest against corruption. With that he has tried the tested path of ‘crusade against corruption’ in his own style.

The initial scenes explaining the corruptness of the whole system is highly relatable to the common man. The idea used by the protagonist to expose the corrupt officials has also been inspired by a method already tested by some anti corruption activists in real life. But the way Samuthirakani has written and executed these ideas keeps the viewers engrossed and towards the interval the expectations about the second half reach sky high.

The use of Facebook, Twitter and Missed cal to gather support among students is enticing as it has topical relevance.

Having said this the second half falls flat in many aspects. The antagonist group is reduced to a group comprising of buffoons and rowdies. The logic behind the introduction of another Jayam Ravi’s character is hardly convincing so is the easily guessable twist that happens to the character at the end.

The Protoganist speaks about the downfall of personal morals here and there but he takes on only on a few corrupt officials. Only at the climax scene, there is something that questions common man’s urgency and eagerness for luxury being an indispensable part of corruption.

The director capitalizes the Tamil audience’s sentiment towards Eelam Tamils issue and the common anger prevalent in Tamilnadu regarding the treatment meted out by neighboring states. This leaves us guessing the necessity to touch these issues in a film that aspires to address corruption.

Dialogues as in other Samuthirakani movies are pleasing in many scenes and audience applaud at regular intervals.

Jayam Ravi as Aravind Sivaswami succeeds in bringing the innocence, anger and smartness of the character. He is as good as usual in emotional scenes and keeps his histrionics skills in tact. But making him don the much hyped Narasimha Reddy character seems to be an outcome of the urge to make a dual role film. We come to know that the character’s age is above 40 only through a dialogue that comes in the last scene in court. Adding multi linguistic skill to the character also seems to be intended to pep up heroism but it does not achieve any result because we have already seen Rajni and Kamal speaking many languages in the same film.

Sarathkumar is impressive in his cameo and it’s a cakewalk for Gopinath to don a news anchor. Amala Paul does not have anything more than being the arm candy of the hero. Soori raises a few guffaws with his one liners and probably for the first time appears in a role that offers something more than comedy.And the actor has done .justice to the role.

G.V.Prakash’s re-recording is apt in most of the sequences. The songs except the first duet, appear as mere additions to the script, with most of them doing their best to dampen the pace of the script. Cinematography by M.Sukumar and M.Jeevan is adequate.

A better treatment in second half would have made much wonders. Still if you are a fan of anti corruption films, you can go for it as Samuthirkani and team surely have something new to tell you.

Jeyam Ravi is on cloud nine



Actor Jeyam Ravi’s Nimirndhu Nil released last week crossing eleventh hour hiccups. The film that could hit the screens only from Saturday evening show has managed to impress the audience cutting across sections. Director Samuthirakani’s taut screenplay and hardhitting dialogues have kept Nimirndhu Nil in the proud list of films that have effectively dealt with the menace of corruption. Equally appreciated was the performance of Jeyam Ravi in the film as an upright Aravidn Sivaswami and a 40 year old Narasimha Reddy with shades of grey.
People within and outside the film industry have started praising the tall and handsome actor and many have started asserting that this film will elevate the actor’s stardom.

National award winning director Bala is one among the celebrities who have appreciated Jeyam Ravi for his performance in Nimirndhu Nil. Jeyam Ravi has tweeted that Bala had called him and appreciated his performance in the film. His tweet says, “On cloud 9. Director Bala Sir said the most wonderful words abt my performance in #NimirnthuNil it’s def a phone call to remember. Inspired”.

With this, Can we expect the teaming up of Bala and Ravi?
