Nenjuku Needhi

RATED 8/10 Language: Tamil Media Partner: Sony Liv RECOMMENDED

Faithful remake and Arunraja shown his capability as director again. The dialogs are so sharp and thanks to original also. The movie was well regioanlised and didnt feel any remake shades in the movie... Uthayanithi acted so well and the camera angles elevates him/his character very well.. Must watch movie with kids to understand the "social distance" issues and the pain.

A well made remake . Nenjuku Needhi is official remake of Article 15 ( Hindi ) movie . If you ask whether Nenjuku Needhi created same impact that created by Article 15 , I will say absolutely Yes . It delivered the same essence like Article 15 did . This movie is based on complex caste system in our country , eventhough there are laws , one can't avoid discrimination . Story tells how a cop breaks the barriers to solve a caste related crime , by trusting his country's Law . This movie neither copy pasted its original version nor over changed . We should really appreciate Arunraja Kamaraj it's a difficult job to remake a successful movie , here he done a very good job , he did some changes , literally it supported movie well . Udhayanidhi delivered one of the best performance in his carrier , but eventhough in few places it felt bit dull . Other supporting cast done their job very well . Dialogues were well written and hard-hitting . Dhibu Ninan Thomas's as music director , gave good songs ( 2 songs ) , BGM could've been more better . Cinematography was good . Overall a well made movie , eventhough if you had watched Article 15 give a try .

Based on a true incident, a remake, good script and worth a watch. While I know the one line, was wondering if it will work for tamil audience. I guess, it did. Ready to watch Article 15 now 😊

Many scripts are being recycled these days without adding a new touch 😔 It's fantastic to tell stories on casteism but if the main point is to glorify the lead actor, then the purpose is defeated...

DELICIOUS

---The dialogues in Nenjuku Needhi were impressive and inspirational. We actually wrote down some of the lines :)

Arunraja Kamaraj (the writer) intentionally challenged the status quo by raising valuable questions on patriotism and highlighting the hypocrisy of the caste system/division within the same caste.

-A big applause to the art director & team for the realistic environments produced, especially the police station flooded by the septic tank

-The supporting cast and background actors 'held the ship together'. They were engaging and dynamic in their performances, big ups to Suresh Chakravarthy and Ilavarasu

-The handheld camera movements intensified the melancholic mood of each scene notably during the beating and fighting segments

BLAND

---The typical issue with movies on casteism is the glorification of the lead actor. Udhayanidhi Stalin was portrayed as this messianic figure who came to town in order to blow a new wind of change.

He was the ideal police officer who enforced law & justice and was a savior to the weak & lowly

-Udhayanidhi Stalin and his wife Adithi (Tanya Ravichandran) mostly had a one-note facial expression throughout the movie

-Are movies about casteism made more for publicity's sake or to revolutionize people's attitudes?

The majority of these films don't even use actual low-caste individuals as lead actors or supporting cast. It's as if they're just showcasing the wrongs of society without truly being the change.

The plot was good one but the scenes and screenplay was very artificial and purposely stuffed. Article 15 was a good and not this one. One time watchable. Actors performance was good.
