ANALYSIS
Vikram Prabhu’s rock solid performance, in association Ashok Kumar’s gripping narration, makes Neruppuda an interesting watch. Nikki appears and disappears at regular intervals, but fills the screen with her beauty.
Madhusudhan Rao’s charcter is all sound and no real fury, but he tries to do justice. The rest of the cast includes Ponvannan, Rajendran, Varun, Nagineedu, Naren, Vincent Asokan and Sangeetha.
Besides Vikram Prabhu, there are two more heroes in the movie. They are cinematographer R D Rajasekar who has come up with stunning visuals and music composer Sean Roldan, whose songs are impressive.
Certain characterisations, like Rajendran’s and Ponvannan’s (who appears as Vikram Prabhu’s dad) are really good and are well-written. And both have done enough justice to their respective roles.
Neruppuda is a good movie despite its highs and lows. Had only the director focussed more on the screenplay, the film would have been a far more better product.
