Only that explains why Saptagiri had only once scene and Pradeep wasn’t even utilized even with the Godavari accent, the dominant slang we hear in the movie.
Nirnayam malayalam movie review movie#
Probably a lot of the movie was chopped on the editing table. The quantity changes the two times it’s shown in the movie.Ģ – In Varanasi as he meets the man who saved his friend, he effortlessly talks to him, but struggles to talk to him when he calls him on the phone to inform that his friend needs him. Couple of instances come to mind when I say that:ġ – In the Tabla restaurant scene, the drink that Sundeep Kishen is having is shown very prominently.
The continuity factor seems to be missing in the movie. It’s because of the predictability factor. The movie with a short runtime is supposed to be crisp, but Tiger seems a prolonged version. Probably the best moment for him comes before title song where he finds himself on the top of Havelock bridge in Rajahmundry and the camera comes zooming in. It’s nice to see him have a normal entry in what is bracketed as a mass film. Note how late Sundeep’s entrance in the movie is. Where Tiger loses out is the fact that it takes an eternity to establish the story in the movie. Probably the best scene of the movie was the one where Tanikella Bharani reminds Sundeep Kishen of his birthday. In Tiger, one can’t aver to that between any of the characters. Nirnayam was helped by crackling chemistry between Nagarjuna and ‘Subhalekha’ Sudhakar. From the imitation of Chiranjeevi by the young Sundeep Kishen to the way the friendship between the two orphans plays out – everything makes you feel suffocated as you have seen them before. Relevant, yes, but the climax seems equally contrived in both the movies.Ĭoming back to Tiger, you have sense of déjà vu right from the title cards are played out. ‘Tiger’ also belongs to the same category, but without the brilliance.
It was a brilliant movie and the last thirty minutes sapped the movie of its brilliance. It was a remake of a Malayalam movie, which itself was remade from Hollywood. In 1991, there was a release called ‘Nirnayam’.
