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.
