Nenjuku Needhi

Untouchability is an offence and it is still being practised in many regions across India but majorly in the northern side of the country only this film is a remake of the Hindi film, it feels very unnatural and doesn't seem to fit into the Tamilnadu's context, hence the attempt of this remake itself should've been discussed upfront before jumping into the making.

This film somehow felt like being directed by pa. Ranjith at a certain point because of this factor of untouchability & fight b/w upper & lower middle-class people. I just don't get the fact of why these directors are making such non-sensical flicks and spreading negativity, there is always a good & bad thing with any given event, these guys take only the bad part of the event and try to make films for their own purpose but claim outside that they're making it to make the society aware of it just for the sake of it. I have a totally opposite opinion to that, I'd say that if these assholes stop making such a nuisance, the society would eventually forget the caste system itself and finally become one but it doesn't look like they're willing to let the society change.

Dialogues are razor sharp. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. This movie portrays the ground reality of cast hierarchy. Director doesn't compromise to show about cast reality. But its really weird why people are not celebrating this movie who celebrated Pariyerum Perumal and Asuran in past. This is one of gem in Tamil cinema industry and it needs to be appreciated. Best part of the movie is smooth narration without unhurried. I really love this movie.

Faithful remake and Arunraja shown his capability as director again. The dialogs are so sharp and thanks to original also. The movie was well regioanlised and didnt feel any remake shades in the movie... Uthayanithi acted so well and the camera angles elevates him/his character very well.. Must watch movie with kids to understand the "social distance" issues and the pain.

A well made remake . Nenjuku Needhi is official remake of Article 15 ( Hindi ) movie . If you ask whether Nenjuku Needhi created same impact that created by Article 15 , I will say absolutely Yes . It delivered the same essence like Article 15 did . This movie is based on complex caste system in our country , eventhough there are laws , one can't avoid discrimination . Story tells how a cop breaks the barriers to solve a caste related crime , by trusting his country's Law . This movie neither copy pasted its original version nor over changed . We should really appreciate Arunraja Kamaraj it's a difficult job to remake a successful movie , here he done a very good job , he did some changes , literally it supported movie well . Udhayanidhi delivered one of the best performance in his carrier , but eventhough in few places it felt bit dull . Other supporting cast done their job very well . Dialogues were well written and hard-hitting . Dhibu Ninan Thomas's as music director , gave good songs ( 2 songs ) , BGM could've been more better . Cinematography was good . Overall a well made movie , eventhough if you had watched Article 15 give a try .

Based on a true incident, a remake, good script and worth a watch. While I know the one line, was wondering if it will work for tamil audience. I guess, it did. Ready to watch Article 15 now 😊
