Cast: Jayam Ravi, Amala Paul, Soori, Gobinath, Subbu Panchu, Sarath Kumar, Anil Murali, Chitra Lakshmanan, GnanasambandhamDirection: SamuthirakaniGenre: ActionDuration: 2 hours 31 minutes
Synopsis: Aravind, a principled young man, takes on the corrupt officers in the government. They soon launch a counter-attack. Will Aravind emerge victorious or succumb to their wiles?
Movie Review: There is a particular moment in Nimirnthu Nil when you stop taking the film seriously and exasperatedly just let it run its course. It happens when CBI officer Michael ( Sarath Kumar, in a guest appearance) comes flying out of nowhere in a car and crashes into a truck which is telecasting, illegally, an interview with the protagonist Aravind Sivaswamy ( Jayam Ravi), who is doing an expose on corrupt government officials. The truck is moving along on the Bangalore-Chennai highway, and only in the previous minute, we have been shown Michael, who is apparently in Chennai, telling a TV channel head that he has challenged his ego and he will not rest until he captures Aravind (notice the topical relevance of the name). And so, when Michael joins the chase in Supermanesque fashion, it is a little surreal and so absurd.
Until then, the film does seem to be on the right track (as far as our "commercial" films go), playing out like an alternate version of the Rules Ramanujam track from Anniyan (directed by Shankar, who, by the way, owns this genre).
