Nerkonda Paarvai movie review: Ajith, Shraddha Srinath shine in faithful, engaging remake of Pink
FirstpostLanguage: Tamil Nerkonda Paarvai is an absorbing court room drama, a reflection on the patriarchal mindset of our male-dominated society. The Tamil remake features popular mass hero Ajith, so director H Vinoth has taken some liberties to make it suitable to the sensibilities of the actor’s huge fan base. Never before has a top star asked such a question in an open court to the female protagonist in mainstream Tamil cinema – “Are you a virgin?” The story revolves around Meera Krishnan, Famita and Andrea — three young working women based in Chennai. Nerkonda Paarvai is about the patriarchal mindset which looks at independent women as ’loose’ or ‘characterless’ and lays bare the double standards of the society we live in. Hats off to Ajith Kumar who has moved away from his ‘action hero superstar image’ to play a lawyer who is depressed and he does it convincingly.
