XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Terence Frederick A typical Shankar's theme, about a man rising against corruption in India. The director got too communistic and too emotional writing the script and so spoiled the movie. The songs were good but the duet songs were too un-appropriate. The first half was okay but the latter was way too bad. I could see a lot of connections with the theme of Anniyan, Indian and even of Muragadoss's Ramana. Inspite of all the negatives mentioned above, I still feel there are some great comedy scenes (at the latter half with the villains). The movie was fast paced with lot of logical errors. My verdict : A watchable movie for the comedy. Quite entertaining but less brainy.

SivakumarBalachandran Nimirndhu Nil(2014) Review: Anti corruption tales are not new to Tamil cinema where we had major actors' ace directors' and huge production value invested enough in this genre "Nimirndhu Nil" fits this category as well. Plot majorly focuses on anti corruption, bribe on Government sectors and how an ordinary individual takes things on his hands to make a corruption free environment. Hmm yes I know what you are thinking this one line we have heard and seen in so many yester year releases?! Yes its right I also felt the same. So much of cliché from movies like Anniyan, Indian, Citizen, Samurai, Mudhalvan, Satyagraha (Hindi recent flick). Particularly Anti corruption wing and the name Aravind even a small child will say it resembles AAI. Can't help my mind instinct thinking of Anniyan Rules Ramanujam role during the intro portrayal of Ravi.Screenplay was speedy enough to keep you engaged in the first half and the second half of the movie became corrupted with unnecessary character inclusions, song sequences and item numbers. Casting side we find huge ensemble of support cast from Tamil industry. Off course Ravi did a decent performance on his role. Vijay TV Gopi was natural in his role which fits his real profession as well. Suri and Amala had good screen space on the start then lost track. Sarath kumar's role did not definitely stay on your heart.On the whole I have to say a racy first-half and a crap second- half. -Reviewed by Sivakumar Balachandran (bsiva84@gmail.com)

jprabhahar98 After Poraali, Samuthirakani is back with his new flick Nimirnthu nil.Though the theme of the film is strong, the film was not up to the mark.The film deals with a common man who is beaten up by the corruption in the society,rises to put an end to it.First 30 minutes of the film looks pretty common.But the plot drifts to the rising of the Aravindan Sivasamy(JayamRavi) against this corruption and the film moves where the the government officials join to stop him.Although the climax can be obviously guessed.As a director,Samuthirakani has done his part well.Dialogues looks a bit strong in the film.But the characterization can be improved where certain characters were not introduced clearly as it for Sarath Kumar's character.The cinematography looks good.But,the editing was not that good that too when in the dual roles fight the editing was under the mark,it makes me think its unreal.The screenplay looks illogical at times.Music by G.v.Prakash was OK.As for as acting is concerned JayamRavi has done his part pretty good in both the characters.Gopinath looks strong in his acting at certain scenes.Soori has fitted the role pretty well.As a actress,AmalaPaul has done it again.I think actors can do even better to make it natural as possible.Although Samuthirakani has taken a strong theme to deliver it to the audience the film still needs some nourishment in its plot and other areas.And the whole, the film looks as a commercial entertainer.I would give it 5/10 considering it as a one time watchable flick.

Raj Kumar I accidentally stepped inside the premiere of "Nimirndhu Nil" (NN) instead of "Thekkidi". But at the end of the day, I didn't regret the decision because NN is worth the money and the whistles.Aravind Sivasamy (Ravi) is an straightforward-modern-day-Harichandra who sticks to the rules to the last inch. When his actions rub several people on the wrong side, they strike a major blow, literally, which forces Aravind to take a drastic step that alters the face of nation, as we know it, completely.NN is a typical Shankar movie plot handled by Samuthrakani in his own style. When Ravi goes through a single day experience similar to Ambi (Anniyan) he wages a one-man-stand quoting ancient Tamil quotes and ends up facing the modern day wrath. Therein starts the cat and tiger (not mouse) game that hooks us till the end.Ravi & Ravi with his big-right-eye and tall-stature has made the most of the responsibility on his shoulder. His naive attitude turned villainous gives the actor lots of scenes to flex his acting muscles. Though the film handles the serious issue of corruption it has its light moments too. Every character has a funny bone inside them that pokes out even in the middle of a very serious scene.Amala Paul has little to contribute as does Suri. Gopinath is second best to Ravi with his Neeya-Naana Charisma mirrored through his role as a TV Anchor in the movie too. Songs, though only 4, are a let down. Nasser and Sarath Kumar are breezy cameos. 11 member committee of the "147" are good comic reliefs. The biggest tickler was off screen, when the on screen characters chanted "Aravind", few naughties behind me screamed "Kejriwal".In an attempt to skin out corruption,the screenplay has slightly exaggerated here and there with a few logical slip ups. But, ultimately Aal izz Well.
