    This Seabird Soars High

    I've watched this twice and that was many years ago. Still cherish the movie a lot. This was the time when Vishnu gave back to back contend and performance oriented films improvising his skills with every new one. Seenu Ramasamy not just wrote the tale of an Arulappasamy and Esther, but he took us in to the Fishermen Village. The people and their lives were etched straight into celluloid.

    A strong screenplay, Good performance by the leads and an undeniable soundtrack by N. R. Raghunanthan(His best album till date).

    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.

    emotional drama

    This movie is a beautiful emotional journey that touches the heart in so many ways. It masterfully blends happiness, sorrow, hope, and heartbreak, making it an unforgettable experience. The characters are well-developed, and their struggles feel so real that you can't help but connect with them on a deep level. The storyline keeps you engaged from start to finish, and just when you think you've figured it out, the climax hits hard with a wave of emotions. It's so powerful and heart-wrenching that it brought tears to my eyes. The ending stays with you long after the movie is over. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves meaningful, emotional cinema.
