Imaikka Nodigal

It’s more than a week since I watched this movie #ImaikkaNodigal. Had to convince myself to pen these lines.

In the name of twisting the tale, the story/script writer has twisted it soooo much, that the audience is left wondering if they are sitting in a high-twist yarn factory! And the script seems to have been evolved as an after-thought scene after scene. Instead of bringing us to the edge of our seats, it was creating a feeling of boredom. It was tiring as the movie unreels with the so-called twists. In such thrillers, what’s the need for romance and duets? Story (and Dialogues) by Pattukottai Prabhakar. And the movie’s screenplay is by the director, Ajay. Huh!!!

Nayantara & Atharva have done their best.

Anurag Kashyap - he was so irritating. I mean, there’s a difference between “performing” to irk the audience and just irking the audience with one’s presence on screen. Anurag falls into the second category. Wish I could have walked out of the theatres whenever he appeared.

#VijaySethupathi - the audience wakes up only for his 10 minutes cameo. He has a mass fan following for sure. Severe hooting and whistling for every dialogue he utters. Want him back as the VS in Sethupathi kind of films - trimmer and smarter - even if we have to see him only for 10 minutes on the screen.

Overall - could have given a better treatment to the script and made it “Imaikka Nodigal” for the audience as well! Lost opportunity!!
