Neru

If it were 20 years ago I would have been overly impressed like the rest of the audiences. But now you could see a mile ahead how the plot is deliberately being sabotaged to create thrilling moments. This is evident when the blind victim is asked to prove her ability to sculpt a bust through her sense of touch. Even if this is true, the subject cannot be permitted to be someone who is directly involved in the case like the lawyer as he can purposely influence the outcome to discredit the victim. This was an manufactured scene to prove it to be a David and Goliath case. There are many such instances throughout the movie. But besides this obvious tweaking of the plot the movie is definitely watchable as somewhere in this movie there is a sad commentory on the Indian judicial system where victims of such heinous crime do not get justice, just the shame. So this movies can be added to the likes of the movie "Pink" which deals in the same subject.

This is a decent attempt from Jeethu Joseph. Nothing like Drishyam or even Kooman, but engaging and watchable. The thread is good, but the climax was predictable and also very melodramatic. Also, the casting in the movie was off in multiple places. The primary example is Shanti Mayadevi. She simply cannot act and is awkward in a majority of the scenes. I totally understand, that's not her forte, but why give her such a meaty role? The victims mother also couldn't handle the emotional scenes. Also, Jeethu succumbs to the usual tropes of overdoing some scenes - like the incompetence of the first lawyer. The movie is also unnecessarily long and spends insane amounts of time on a CCTV visual. I'm summary, it's a good attempt and an engaging court drama, but not as stellar as it's touted to be.

Neru, an emotional court room drama is an absolute masterpiece directed and written by Jeethu Joseph elevated with Mohanlals And Siddiques amazing acting. The story follows the path of Sara a blind girl who is the victim of rape who's role is magnificently done by Anaswara Rajan. She seeks the help Of Vijayamohan, an underconfident lawyer who hasnt been practiced in a long time, this role is fantastically done by Mohanlal. As a malayali seeing Lalettan back at his subtle acting is just mesmerizing. This is proof that directors play an important role when it comes to shaping an actor. Vijayamohan Is Opposed By Rajashekar, a renowned lawyer who has been the enemy of Vijayamohan. This role is brilliantly played by Siddique. Rest of the movie you have to see othwrwise it would be a spoiler. I wouldn't say this is a theatre experiece movie but the film crew managea to hook our eyes to the screen with taking it off. I never felt bored even for a second thats how captivating the entire movie is. Although taking in Jeethu Josephs other works like Drishyam thos movie didnt quite reaxh to its level, it did deliver some goosebumps but i felt that the story was written in favour of Vijayamohan. So, its an average movie elevated with Mohanlals Comeback to Real cinema.

I went to this movie expecting a drishyam like thriller and it happened to be the same. All those flashbacks , evidences etc kind of things that make a Jeetu Joseph movie can be seen in the movie . A court room drama that keeps you at the edge of the seat . There is no suspense or anything but it is a thriller . All the cast did a great job . In fact Siddique as Lawyer makes you hate him in the movie and question the profession or our judiciary. I think this movie might be a career changer for Anaswara Rajan as her acting was too good. There are many court room classics in Malayalam cinema and this one can be compared to those. I will give 8 out of 10 for this Jeetu Joseph thriller.

Anyone would agree that its just a standard legal drama. The casting and the setting doesnt seem very expensive or captivating. But the brilliant direction is evident in every detail. Main characters have been casted very well in every way possible. Jeethu joseph does not need any special introduction in such a genre since he has proved his excellence in many of his previous movies. As an average mohanlal enthusiast and a consistent critique of his work, I feel that this must go down as one of his best modern work. He has input an element of his own as well as adhered to the character presented by the director. Movie portrays characteristics of resilience and persistence. A must watch.
