Nilai Marandhavan movie review
Story:
Fahadh Faasil is a small-time motivational speaker with a painful past, is left orphaned suddenly.
His search for popularity leads him to Mumbai, where he is recruited by two evil businessmen for a religious project.
In no time, Fahadh Faasil transforms himself into a powerful preacher and miracle healer.
After the Pastor’s spiritual empire becomes a force to reckon with troubles ensue when he appears on a TV channel for an interview. What happens next forms the rest of the story.
Analysis:
Fahadh Faasil is brilliant in this role. He is totally convincing as that cunning pastor who behaves as though he is a man possessed.
His ways and language are authentic when he becomes a miracle healer. Dileesh Pothan as his trainer and Gautham Menon are superb, too.
Nazriya Nazim fits the bill perfectly. Director Anwar Rasheed makes films that somehow seep through the screen and envelope the audience in the very essence of a true cinematic experience.
The Tamil dubbing is as effective as the original Malayalam version. The dialogues are razor sharp and to the point.
The movie is technically sound as well. More than the songs, it’s the background music (by Sushin Shyam, Jackson Vijayan) that is impressive.
Amal Neerad’s cinematography is another plus.
Rating: 3.2/5
