‘Neru’ Review: Rape Survivor Has No Reason To Feel Shame. Mohanlal Film Nails The Message
ABP NewsNeru Movie Review: A young girl is lying motionless on her bed, face down. Actor Mohanlal and director Jeethu Joseph’s Malayalam courtroom drama, Neru, sets the tone right from the very first scene — that rape is not the end of the world, and that the survivor has no reason to feel any shame, guilt or humiliation. The film has this one core idea — a blind girl’s grit to convince everyone that it’s only her eyes that don’t function; she is no less human and her other senses can make up for what she lacks. This portrayal challenges the audience to reconsider their perceptions and leaves them with a sense of hope, a belief in the enduring strength of the human spirit displayed by Sara who at the end of the film chooses to no longer keep her face covered, and walks out of the court with her head held high. But the audience goes back home convinced that Sara won’t stop living even if she loses the legal battles thereon.
