Cast: Nayanthara, Atharva, Anurag Kashyap, Raashi Khanna
Music: Hip Hop Thamizha
Direction: Ajay Gnanamuthu
Ajay gnanamuthu’s debut film ‘Demonte Colony’ was a
brilliant horror film that happens inside a small house. That film did not have
any flavor of AR Murugadoss, with whom he worked as assistant director. His
second and the discussed film, ‘Imaikka Nodigal’ has a few flavors which is
similar to Murugadoss’s films.
Let’s start with the antagonist’s characterization. Here
it’s Rudra (played by Anurag Kashyap). He loves killing (though he has other
motives) as similar to Murugadoss’s Spyder antagonist, Sudalai. Ajay’s
screenplay is well written with twists as Murugadoss’ screenplay. AR Murugadoss
film usually will be logical and suddenly we start questioning the logic.
Imaikka Nodigal had the same problem.
The title Imaikka Nodigal, meaning blink less eye, is
beautifully justified in the story. The film is well written. Rudra narrates a
story to Anjali (played by Nayanthara) about lion and hyna while meeting her. Later,
we know the inner meaning of that story. The dialogue at the end saying “Every
move in the world is because of love” justifies all characters.
As the dialogue, it’s love that defines the character’s
actions. Arjun (played by Atharava) who plays as Anjali’s brother has a
parallel romance track with Raashi Khanna. This is what makes the first half of
the film less engaging. All actors have played for the character. Anurag’s
acting magnified by the voice given by Magizh thirumeni. His voice acts. This film can easily be with a male character
as lead, but it’s Nayanthara who pulls off. Kudos for it.
Verdict: Thriller on love
