'Nirangal Moondru' movie review: The visuals sparkle, the storytelling pales
New Indian ExpressNirangal Moondru begins with a storyboard of events that substantiate the existence of chaos theory in life, providing ground for what is to follow. Karthick Naren, in his signature style, paves the way for a brooding hyperlink thriller in three chapters that adds intrigue in every layer as Atharvaa, Rahman, and Dushyanth cross paths on a particular night. Often, it felt like the makers had tripped on creative bumps from time to time, like in a stunt sequence that employs the reverse chronology technique for no clear reason, disrupting the purpose of the narrative. However, cinematographer Tijo Tomy exerts command over his craft as the visuals move from one wave and one dimension to another, providing an intense glimpse into the troubled mind of Vetri and his strained relationship with his parents, especially his father Selvam. Jakes Bejoy’s music bubbles through every chapter, with its smart usage of retro music, including some of Ilaiyaraaja’s music, to depict the mood of Vetri and his surroundings.
