Adarsh T Neram Movie Review : Affectionate. Reason I watched this movie only for Nivin and Nazriya. Nivin is the first actor from malyalam. Why I starts watching malayalam movies. Premam was my first movie of Mollywood. Eventually, nazriya is the cutest actress in Mollywood. Story:Mathew loses his job after his company declares bankruptcy. It is a decisive day since he has to pay his debts to a merciless moneylender and on the same day unforeseen challenges crop up before him. Review:Neram has a romantic charm, an exciting trait which infuses it with a good measure of likability. The plot works at a very basic level; a crisis-ridden character needs to accomplish a lot of tasks in very little time. Having created a promising plot to work on, Alphonse Putharan starts his work judiciously with a chosen set of colour tones and a group of charming, young actors who exhibit immense verve in enacting their characters. The setting is Chennai; a dry, dirty and steaming metro. Working with a diligent cinematographer Anand C Chandran, Alphonse places his characters mostly in inhospitable spots; a police officer peacefully listens to music in a cluttered cell which he has made his office; a pretty girl finds herself tied up and bundled into the rear of the car, two crooks plot prosperous schemes in a dark, dingy building; all these scenes intentionally crafted to lend the narrative its humorously ludicrous quality. Even some of the characters are left with occasional flourishes of absurd humour; a cop is bashful at uttering his own name; a ridiculously childish moniker, a doctor checks the pulse of a wrapped-up body in front of mortuary, a ruthless thug flares up at his flunkeys for buying a touch phone at Rs 10,000 because he can't find the most essential 'buttons' in it. A pervading dull tonality makes the characters humane, settings real and goes well with the riveting nature of the narrative. There are quite a few charismatic performances. Nivin Pauly excels with a sense of natural realism which he adds to his character Mathew as he passes through moments of shame, helplessness and an eventual glory which he earns after a toil that combines laughter with bitterness. Nazriya effectively coats her lovable childish warmth with a boldness that makes for engaging screen-presence along with Nivin. Neram is not one of those fault-free thrillers tinged with a thick coat of humour. There are times when the narrative probes for a stimulus which Alphonse feeds definitely but not without consuming ample time; a luxury he can afford since he has a nicely conceived plot with a brilliant set of characters. Verdict: Super - Hit. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/23/25 Full Review Roberto T Currently my very favorite Indian crime drama. This is beautifully shot. The impact of European and American cinematography here cannot to be overlooked, but the story does not. It comes across as an honest story in southern India, not a glorification of other cultures through an Indian lens. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Audience Member Neram could very well be the new age cinematographic extravaganza that was much need in the South Indian Film Fraternity. The screenplay each and every scene through obscure and unique perspective into the head of the Director , as to what the audience should observe , Also making the story line look more intellectual , serious and funny all at once. A must watch ! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Fun, energetic, different, great cinematography and screenplay!
