    A very subtle and moving movie at the same time

    Such a good movie that did not do commercially well. It highlights the life of a fisherman and the loss of life due to the brutalities of the Srilankan Army...

    The characters are well played out... Also brings in the hardships of Fishermen...

    The cinematography captures the arid yet beautiful coastline of the Tamilnadu...

    Music is also a great plus to the movie... Although the composer is not famous one, he does justice to the storyline...

    Great movie that deserves awards...

    Neerparavai - A Poetic Masterpiece That Soars on Love and Redemption

    From the title itself, Neerparavai feels like poetry in motion. If this gem had released today, it would've gone viral for all the right reasons. It's not just a film; it's a soul-touching journey of love, loss, and rebirth. A cinematic treasure that deserves to be celebrated.

    The story is simple yet powerful. What makes it unforgettable is the beautifully layered screenplay-engaging, emotional, and soaked in authenticity. Watching a man rise from the depths of alcoholism to becoming a devoted fisherman, all for love-just pure, raw emotion.

    Seenu Ramasamy proves once again why he's one of Kollywood's most underrated storytellers. His writing hits deep, and the emotional climax leaves you with goosebumps. That final dialogue? Heart-shattering.

    Vishnu Vishal and Sunainaa breathe life into Arul and Esther. Their chemistry, supported by a brilliant cast-especially the father and mother-feels real and rooted. The rustic seaside visuals elevate every moment.

    But the heart of the film? N. R. Raghunanthan's music. "Para Para" is pure magic-goosebumps guaranteed.

    Verdict:A sad yet fulfilling ending. One of Tamil cinema's hidden treasures. Neerparavai isn't just a film, it's an emotion.

    Must watch - now streaming on Sun NXT.

    Arul lives in the heart of esther. Arul and esther lives in the heart of me.

    superb movie

    Of the leads, Vishnu does well with minimal dialogue, relying on his eyes and his expressions to do the communicating, especially in those scenes with Sunaina where he's expected to strum up romance and chemistry.

    Sunania is a revelation and she delivers a measured performance. It is perhaps her best ever so far and she leaves a lasting impression. Ram, Saranya , Thambi Ramadurai, Azhagamperumal, Samuthirakani and even Vadivukarasi in that small role is outstanding. However, Nandita Das doesn't have much to do.

    The film also benefits enormously from Balasubramaniam's remarkable cinematography, as his camera captures shots of the sea in all its glory and the sheer visual delight of the Para Para Para.. song picturisation will stay in your mind. Raghunathan's songs and background score is commendable.

    On the downside, the first half is a bit slow and the climax is contrived. But on the whole, it is a moving drama that will undoubtedly leave you with a lump in your throat. And films like this are hard to find.

    Must Watch

    This is one the movies that has a strong message even though it is directed at folks who will never do any good to the people who elect them.

    The way the story has been told and the way the screenplay is done., Seenu Ramasamy can be proud that he has given one of the good movies in Tamil industry. These are the kind of movies that are to be encouraged and are to be watched.

    As someone else had written, it leaves you with a lump at the end. The last time I had such a feeling was in year 1996 after watching Kalapani by Priyadarshan.

    Go watch..
