Nirangal Moondru Movie Review

Director Karthick Naren, who made his directorial debut through a commendable ‘Dhuruvangal 16’ couldn’t deliver a proper hit despite getting good banners and actors like Arun Vijay’s Mafia produced by Satya Jyothi Films, and Dhanush’s Maaran produced by Lyca Productions. His much-awaited ‘Naragasooran’ didn’t see the theatrical release, and the expectations were good with ‘Nirangal Moondru’, which is releasing after a long sabbatical phase.

The story revolves around three characters – an aspiring director (Atharvaa Murali), a corrupt and crooked cop (Sarath Kumar) and a teacher (Rahman), father of a good daughter (Ammu Abhirami), who goes missing. As the trailer released long ago signifies, it’s about a Trippy day, and what unfolds in these characters lives.

Director Karthick Naren’s movies have always witnessed the dearth of substantiality in storytelling. Following Mafia and Maaran, he continues to deliver a boring and tedious narrative in this movie. After a certain extent of first half, one starts wondering what’s the actual role and prominence of these lead characters. The story is so weak, and so are the characterisations. The only impact is created by the missing of Ammu Abhirami’s character, but the final revelation is too hard and harsh.

The story is mainly based on the effects of narcotic drugs, and that’s appreciable, but the way, it is narrated, doesn’t add any engrossment.

Technically, Jakes Bejoy’s BGM is good in places, and the visuals are okay.

None of the actors get the spotlights turning upon them. It’s really questionable on what made Atharvaa Murali choose this script, and so for Sarath Kumar. It looks like actor Rahman blindly accepted the offer as Karthick gave a breakthrough in Dhuruvangal 16.

On the whole, Nirangal Moondru has nothing appealing, and it starts testing your patience after sometime leading to a dull climax.
