Nilavuku Enmel Ennadi Kobam

Pavish Narayanan's performance in his latest outing leaves much to be desired. His portrayal felt amateurish, lacking the finesse and depth expected of a lead, especially in emotionally charged sequences. The attempt at comedy was poorly timed and often fell flat, while the overall narrative sequencing was disjointed and confusing.

The film attempted to explore an emotional rollercoaster of love through two overlapping triangular relationships. However, instead of enriching the plot, the added complexities felt forced and diluted the emotional impact. The use of an additional catalyst in both relationships not only muddled the storyline but also risked sending the wrong message to the audience.

What's truly disappointing is the underutilization of seasoned talents like Sarath Kumar, Saranya Ponvannan, and even the promising Anikha. Their presence deserved a stronger script and direction. One can't help but imagine how much more compelling the film could have been had Dhanush taken on the lead role himself.

If there's one redeeming element in the film, it's the beautifully composed "Golden Sparrow" track - a rare moment of brilliance in an otherwise forgettable experience.

In the end, the film unfortunately feels like a squandered opportunity - a letdown that neither justifies its star cast nor rewards the viewer's time.

A very light hearted movie. Unpredictable end but enjoyable. The subtle humour throughout the movie is very relaxing. Everyone performs adequately. The guy who plays the hero's friend Rajesh is outstanding. His face is very flexible and in split seconds he moves from one happy expression to a totally different one. Emote any expression effortlessly. Sarath kumar gives a dignified performance. This is a youth film. Oldtimers may criticize the storyline and the care free life of today's youth. But that's for real. GV Prakash's peppy songs and the BGM adds the feel of the movie. Some of the long shots from the cenimatographer...especially night shots are very pleasing. Altogether a very warm entertainer to spend the evening pleasantly. Thanks to Dhanush..the Director.

Dhanush directions was best and the movie really awesome . Don't listen to bad comments and the movies are worth to watch..for me NEEK are better than dragon movie yaa. Pavish n Anikha looking cute because of the heights..Mathew and Pavish combo was ultimates Saranya Mam as a mom lead can feel the vip feels with Dhanush.. So far the movie was best for me.. BGM AND SONGS ARE THE BEST GV PRAKASH MADE IT Background,Screenplay and Dance Moves All are best .. Pavish can remains look of young Dhanush...waiting for NEEK Part 2 soon and hopes the movie shoots n release soon .The movies never disappointed us and the movie suits for teen generations.

NEEK was....mid. Nothing new, except the new faces. The film looks great, but if you closed your eyes, it sounds (dialogues and music) like a regular lighthearted Dhanush movie. If that's your thing, you'll likely not mind, or even enjoy, this film.

The new cast was OK, nothing great but not bad. I wish them all the best. The highlight of the film, for me, was Mathew Thomas. I have no idea who RSquared is but she was clearly liked very much in the limited time she had on screen, apparently she's popular outside of films too. But that's about it.

The film opens with a stunning looking song with sambandham eh illadha lyrics and music, but OK. The film does get better from there but you can't unhear the formulaic background music you've heard in most of his previous films. Casting Saranya as the leads mom was very reminiscent of VIP. They made her deliver random English dialogues, I believe for some comedic effect, but it didn't work for me. Maybe reminding you of all Dhanush and his previous films was nostalgia baiting or to give Pavish Narayan a young Dhanush image, but for me, if felt like I was watching an older film with new cast, couldn't help it. I tried.

Overall - Dunno if calling NEEK 'a usual love story' was damage control to begin with, but Dragon won the Valentine's Day release window (based on the original schedule)
