NEEK is NEAT
“Nikavukku En Mel Ennadi Kobam”
– Review
Pavish Narayan is an aspiring chef who is in love with failure. His best friend, Mathew Thomas has been by his side through ups and downs.
Pavish’s parents (Saranya Ponvannan and Aadukalam Naren) inform him about a potential match and force him to visit the girl’s home with them.
With reluctance, he ends up at his school friend Priya Prakash Varrier’s home. Pavish and Priya decide to date for a week before they can decide on moving forward.
Before their final date, Pavish receives his ex-girlfriend Anikha Surendran wedding invite.
As he battles his feelings for her, he is engulfed by the memories of the past. As he claims in the trailer, he is just a guy who is torn between love and failure.
The rest of ‘Nilavuku Enmel Ennadi Kobam’ is about Pavish dealing with his feelings and whether he moves on in life and marries Preethi.
Directed by Dhanush, the film relies on chaotic relationships. The movie shines light on today’s love, breakups, friendship and marriage.
The main advantage is the lead cast’s performance. Pavish is a good find and has a long way to go as an actor.
Mathew Thomas has a great role to play and completely takes care of the comic portions with his dialogues and expression.
Anikha is an efficient fit and shines in the love portions. Priya Varrier is very good in her part, in addition to Ramya Ranganathan doing well in her role.
Sarathkumar’s extended cameo is also an important part of the storyline, and it is carried out well. Saranya Ponvannan and Naren have done their part well.
GV Prakash’s songs and score are a big advantage for the film. Leon Britto camerawork is colourful and youthful. Rest of the technical aspects of the movie are good as well.
Rating: 3.5/5
