Imaikkaa Nodigal Movie Review by Praveena | Atharvaa,
Nayanthara, Anurag Kashyap, Raashi Khaana| Imaikkaa Nodigal Review
After debuting with a successful horror outing Demonte
Colony, director Ajay Gnanamuthu returns with a psycho-thriller Imaikka
Nodigal, produced by Cameo Films. This film has Nayanthara, Atharvaa and Anurag
Kashyap in the lead roles with Vijay Sethupathi in a supporting cameo.
Imaikka Nodigal, in short, is a game of ego. It is all about
the cat and mouse game between Anjali (Nayanthara), her brother Arjun
(Atharvaa) and a psychotic villain played by Anurag Kashyap. Though, the basic
plot doesn't end there. Watch the film to find out more!
To discuss the technical aspects first, RD Rajasekar, the
cinematographer has done a good job with the visuals as the lighting and frames
are interesting and they don't seem tacky at any point. For a film that runs
for 2 hours and 50 minutes, we expect the film to not allow us to blink
(Imaikka Nodigal, isn't it?). But, the romance portions in the first half
involving Atharvaa and Raashi Khanna seems to be purely a commercial fit in a
plot that genuinely has a lot to offer. However, except for the crispiness that
isn't projected, Bhuvan's edit pattern is neat. Some action sequences don't
seem to fit into the logic box, but since they have been shot in a compelling
manner, it passes off.
Hiphop Tamizha is one of the positive additions to this film
as his songs have already worked wonders (though they are unfortunate misfits
in the screenplay). His background score is worth a mention as it adds a lot of
value to the thrill in the screenplay. However, a few moments could have worked
well if silence was used effectively.
Ajay Gnanamuthu has instilled various sub-plots into Imaikka
Nodigal. The screenplay, however, could have been tighter and uncompromising in
terms of commercial aspects. Way too many flashbacks with some predictable
hints spoil the fun at parts. His attempt to portray Anurag Kashyap as a
menacing villain works! But somewhere, we might feel like we've gotten used to
such a characterization earlier. The dialogues are advantageous to this film
and they work well.
Coming to the performances, Raashi Khanna looks pretty and
puts up a decent show. Atharvaa showcases a lot of maturity in his portrayal of
the character. Nayanthara doesn't miss out on utilising every little
opportunity to prove why she is the ultimate lady superstar. She has different
shades to her character and aces every one of them. Vijay Sethupathi appears
for a very short while as Nayanthara's husband, but he never ceases to bring
that little element of joy and emotion to the story.
Expectedly, the show stealer happens to be Anurag Kashyap.
Without divulging too much into his character, all we can say is that he is an
interesting addition to our recently built list of psychotic villains. He
speaks with his eyes and convinces us that he could be deadly. His performance
is only 50% of the job, but director Magizh Thirumeni who has dubbed for Anurag
can gladly take the remaining 50% of the credit. His robust voice coupled with
Hiphop Tamizha's intimidating background score, adds significant value to the
villain's characterization.
Overall, ignoring intricate logical details and some
functional romantic scenes and predictability, Imaikka Nodigal could work for
the impressive performances and well-made sequences.
