Nerkonda Paarvai movie review by audience: Live updates

Legendary actress Sridevi Kapoor's wish to remake Bollywood movie Pink in Tamil has become a reality with the efforts of her husband-producer Boney Kapoor and Tamil actor Ajith Kumar. The talks for remaking the flick started when she was alive, but she passed away before the launch of the film titled Nerkonda Paarvai.

Story:
Nerkonda Paarvai, which is releasing on Friday, 8 August, revolves three women Meera Krishnan (Shraddha Srinath), Famila (Abhirami) and Andrea (Andrea Tariang). On a fateful day, the three go out with their friends for a party, but land in trouble when the men persuade them to have sex.

In a bid to escape from the unexpected situation, they assault one among the three men and what follows next is a court-room drama where a lawyer Barath Subramani (Ajith Kumar) fights for the women, who are facing false charges against them.

Analysis:
Nerkonda Paarvai holds mirror to the men and exposes prevailing misogyny in the society. It brings out how victim-blaming has become a norm in the country and the rules are different for men-women. Indeed, the film tries to educate people understand the concept of 'consent.'

This is, undoubtedly, one of Ajith Kumar's best movies in his career as Nerkonda Paarvai tries to address a serious issue bothering women. In fact, viewers are of the belief that there was a kind of lethargy in Thala's performance in the last couple of films as filmmakers were not trying to exploit his true potential, but in his latest flick he has given such a performance which his fans were missing for years. 

Shraddha Srinath has given her best shot as the victim of sexual assault. She is on fire in the character. Likewise, Andrea and Abhirami too have done justice to their roles. And scenes involving Ajith and Rangaraj Pandey have come out well. 

Average Ratings Given by Audience: 3.5

The movie has been premiered for the critics and cinephiles a few days ago from which it has already garnered positive reviews.Now, it has to be seen how the conservative Tamil audience will respond to the bold content in Ajith Kumar-starrer. Check out the viewers' response below:

The fact that a film like #Viswasam did not work for me beyond a certain level but #NKP guarantees repeat views for sure. Confidence level automatically goes up to expect something extraordinary with #Thala60 with the way #Vinoth had presented this film to Tamil audiences.

CINEMAKARAN: #NerKondaPaarvai -(3.5/5) The Thala Ajithish version of Pink which has its full soul of the original. Very revelent topic to speak. The film has its own changes for Tamil and for lead actor. The court scenes worked out well between Thala, Rangaraj Pandey and three girls.
