Nerkonda Paarvai movie review: Ajith, Shraddha’s Pink remake the most powerful Tamil film in a long time
Hindustan TimesNerkonda Paarvai Director: H Vinoth Cast: Ajith Kumar, Shraddha Srinath, Abhirami Venkatachalam, Andrea Tariang, Rangaraj Pandey and Vidya Balan Rating: 4/5 Nerkonda Paarvai stars Ajith and Shraddha Srinath in lead roles. Nerkonda Paarvai, the Tamil remake of Pink, is the most powerful, socially relevant film featuring a star of Ajith Kumar’s stature to come out of Tamil cinema in a long time. While films like Visaaranai, Aramm and Aruvi may have made a very strong impact with their content, it’s definitely a big deal when a star like Ajith headlines a film like Nerkonda Paarvai, which is a powerful reflection of the archaic mindset of our patriarchal society and how it views independent women. Despite including an action sequence for Ajith and a slightly odd back-story featuring Vidya Balan, Nerkonda Paarvai mostly stays faithful and credit must go to director H Vinoth for pulling off the remake convincingly and sensibly, especially when it comes to the courtroom scenes in the second half.
