Among the cast, it is Prakash Prem who stands out.
#Nirnayam review movie
This alone makes the movie a riveting watch. An everyday theme like demonstrations and hartals are dealt with, with much finesse. How the themes are conveyed without getting didactic or preachy or even sensationalizing the commonplace.
With VKP's oeuvre, the movie is lifted above the ordinary. 'Nirnayakam' is one of their serious scripts which has been done quite well. Prakash Prem as the firebrand advocate is very impressive and he has carried this huge role with ease. That is another relationship that stands out. Ajay's meeting with his ailing father becomes a turning point in the story. The father-son relationship is conveyed beautifully with its complexĮmotions. Into this interesting mix appears Prakash Prem, who plays an advocate. From here, the movie takes a new trajectory as we are introduced to Venukuutan depicted brilliantly by Nedumudi Venu, who is grieved by the social decay. He never really fits in, not making head or tail of the regimented army life and quits halfway. 'Nirnayakam' has an interesting take off from the National Defense Academy where Ajay played by Asif Ali is a student. Injustices, compromises, lone man's fight, vested interests are all weighty issues that the movie shoulders. Though the theme is very intense, the treatment has the right mix of fun and seriousness. However, VK Prakash's latest release 'Nirnayakam' has beautifully stayed away from the cliches to offer a gripping tale which is all about the above mentioned themes. Justice and freedom are twin themes that are more or less a staple in Malayalam cinema.
