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

Hands down one of the best science fiction movies to ever be made in Tamil.

Feasible or not, time travel is a complex concept. It usually isn't something that can be brought to the masses with ease. Yet this movie does just that. It doesn't complicate things to a point where it alienates the general public, neither does it insult the intelligence of the more knowledgeable minority.

The comedy by Karunakaran was top notch, as usual. Vishnu has done comedies in the past, like Bale Pandiya. His experience shows as he takes the back seat in the comedy segments of this movie, and supports Karunakaran's comedic timing well.

A good movie should be one that grips the viewer till the end, and this movie did just that to me. I really, really enjoyed this film, and would highly recommend it.

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.

This movie has such a well constructed core that makes it very simple to watch even though it is a story about time travel. It got me excited to write a review for it. I congratulate and adore the filmmakers who've given the audience(comprising of a wide range of them) such a beautifully scripted narrative, laying out scenes without any hassle.

FOR THOSE YET TO WATCH(which I presume would be most), this is going to be something of a treat from the regular movies. Watch it with friends and family. Or you could also choose to watch it alone, to miss those annoying ones who pop questions at every chance the movie slips their intellectual capacity. Time well spent. Talent will be appreciated and a show made to entertain. The characters are kept to the usual numbers with the story revolving around the lead characters(hero, heroine, and comedian/bff). It initially seems to layout an easy narrative for the audience to sink in and then takes us on time travel. Funny scenes and time altering scenarios help the audience understand and revel in the plot. The music by HIPHOP TAMIZHA is a good call. More room to improve even though the BGM and title song were new to common ears, but not to a fan like me.

CRITICALLY speaking, its more than what one would call an effort. Its the courage and thoughtfulness to deliver a quality film that I personally feel has respected its graphic/animation/design artists. Kudos to the filmmaker for seeing them through his eyes and for the actors to excel in their characters. Thank you each and every one for not overdoing it! (If you guys read this). This is a movie that has checked in to my favorite-movies-of-all-time list.

the movie is really amazing and one of the best movie made by Indian cinema.. in some time travel movies they mess up with the logic. but in this movie after a lot of twists still there in no logical error... the first half goes well but in the second half the excitement begins and the thriller goes to a new level.. really amazing and enjoyfull thriller movie
