Indru Netru Naalai

Indru Netru Naalai(2015) Well, fiction blended with fun is always a great watch if crafted well, and Indru Netru Naalai is a local science fiction aptly mixed with fun and emotions. The plot taken here is 'time travel', an interesting, yet less explored theme on Indian screen. The movie has a time machine from the future, which accidentally falls onto the hands of two youngsters, who are trying to make fortune. We have seen movies like Interstellar or Looper which have projections from some certain point of time, making differences in some other point of time. The same kinda approach is adopted by director Ravi Kumar here, but he takes three pillars of comedy and a pillar of emotion to make the movie stand and that makes, Indru Netru Naalai an engaging watch. The director proves his mastery in the start itself, when Pulivetti writes his astrology exam in parallel with the life of Elango, and that scene just lighted the fuse to a string of comedies. He made the movie as simple as possible, without offering any complex stuff, the initial conversation between two scientists, funny yet simple explanation about time travel by that semi-mad scientist, everything made the plot simpler. While the genuine wits in initial half make one laugh to death, the interval block hooks thrill factor, continued by a fully engaging second half. Though, 'all-will-end-good' hope lessens the thrill factor, there was a curiosity about how they are going to end all these, and Ravi Kumar has succeeded in offering that ending, which closes loops, with small exception.

Coming to the performances, Kaunakaran just rocked all the way though he had that usual side-kick role, his comedy timing was simply superb, there was a great chemistry between him and the protagonist, Vishnu Vishal, who too equally impresses, mainly at the emotional scenes. While Mia George does decent job, Jayaprakash has a role made for him. Ravi Shankar's bad ass rowdy was perfect, and TM Karthik's Giridhara Parthasarathy was funnily awesome. A Vasanth's frames were of good quality and Leo Paul's cuts were crisp. Music by Hip Hop Tamizha lies as one of the major highlights of this movie, that theme music is simply addictive; back ground scores were of superior quality.

Overall, Indru Netru Naalai is an entertaining sci-fi which keeps us engaging from the start to end. 'Lag' doesn't even come around its surroundings; A movie that will be enjoyed for its novelty in plot, decent wits and clever scripting.

Final Word: Excellent

Its usually difficult to make people understand about the working mechanism of a Time Machine, it leaves lot of questions in people mind if not handled with care. But that was not the case in this movie, the whole Time travel thing is made easy for every one to understand (not sure we can make that much number of jumps - cool to have like that).

The movie starts with relatively(since this is sci-fi movie, i'm using this word) slow pace then gets into its full pace when the gangster who is supposed to be dead is alive.

We can able to predict something about the movie, but not all of them, It's a good movie to watch. The same movie with a big budget and a big hero will be a super hit, but the characters did what was expected from them, especially Karunkaran and Vishnu.

At the last you will have a good feeling, i think that's what we want when we move out of theaters. Thumbs up.

Directors today sway in two extremes, complete blockbuster plot with zero story and intense moments which would put you to sleep. It is very hard to strike a balance in this competitive market. But this movie is a very bold in mixing the two concepts and giving a real treat to the eyes Granted, the title tells you its a sci-fi flick, that doesn't mean it is just convoluted and the audience has to immerse to understand. It has been explained in a very simple and clear manner, kudos for the director for that.

Actors: Needless to say, script is only as good as the actors and the acting skills of the leads do not disappoint you at all. Its a A-game performance from the trinity of Indian cinema (Hero, Heroine, Villain). From the premise till the end nobody lets you down. They have done justification to their roles and at the same time has not gone over the top. Again, its the director's conditioning that makes such magic.

Karunakaran, for the guy he has been portrayed does not drag the screenplay with stupid questions at all. In fact, the questions he ask will make you understand the movie much better, a perfect use of the second fiddle. Also the comedy relief in the movie was just the right duration. Too much of it would have been irritable and too less would have gone unnoticed. Just the right amount of flavor.

Movies such as this just end without dime or reason, here the director sets up the premise and ends it at the right pace, which is commendable. Does he solve all the mystery? yes. Is the reasons believable? Yes. so what more could you ask for in a sci-fi movie? I have watched the movie "Back to the future" many times and every time i wonder how did they get it so right, heres India's answer to Back To That Future. Just perfect use of Indian cinema sense without giving away the science and technology factor which is a pivotal factor in this movie The only downside of this movie was the songs, i felt it was not needed, but i agree its not a Hollywood movie to do that, but i just hope the director gives many more movies like this rather than just brag about this movie and vanishes from the cinema field.

A must-watch fun sci-fi movie which concludes with a simple message as well.

A brilliantly made time travel sci-fi film in Tamil. The most incredible part of the film is the amount of attention to detail, the makers have given. It deserves much, much more praise than it currently has. The visual effects, though minimal, are beautiful eye candy. I'd say they are at par, if not better than the effects in Enthiran. Several sub-plots of the film pay homage to Hollywood time travel films.

The film would do good to become a cult in Tamil cinema. It should serve as an inspiration to upcoming directors. A well done film amidst other monotonous films currently being released in the Tamil film industry. Hopefully, other well established directors such as Shankar would take a note to establish better stories in his films from this one. Just incredibly brilliant! We'd like more films like this! Kudos, R. Ravi Kumar!
