Nenjam Marappathillai
Director: Selvaraghavan
Cast: SJ Suryah, Regina Cassandra and Nandita Swetha
When Nenjam Marappathillai was initially introduced 5 years in the past, it felt prefer it was filmmaker’s Selvaraghavan’s flip to journey on the horror film wave that had gripped Tamil cinema. But little did anybody anticipate that the movie, which has lastly launched after its share of setbacks, will transform one in all its form horror story experiences. Even although Nenjam Marappathillai treads a very acquainted path as a horror-thriller, it stands out due to some eccentric writing which solely Selvaraghavan is able to doing justice. It is this edgy, wildly over-the-prime writing that saves the movie from drowning in its personal predictability.

The movie is centered on Mariam (Regina Cassandra), a god-fearing younger girl who is raised in an orphanage with a coronary heart of gold. Unlike her ungrateful mates who had been raised by the Church; Mariam offers again each penny she earns for the betterment of the orphanage. When she lands a job as a home nanny to the kid of a wealthy couple – Ramsay (SJ Suryah) and his spouse Swetha (Nandita); Mariam sees it as a chance to earn some massive bucks and take care of the youngsters within the orphanage. For Ramsay, a conniving man with no ethics; it is lust at first sight when he meets Mariam. He lusts after her a lot that he doesn’t even hesitate to take the acute step. What follows varieties the crux of the story.
In what might be greatest described as Selvaraghavan’s return to kind, Nenjam Marappathillai is the filmmaker’s unabashed tackle greed, lust, love and spirituality. Selvaraghavan, as soon as once more, offers us a hero who is flawed and has no qualms in glorifying his actions. In a essential scene, Ramsay sits down together with his good friend and talks about how they lived stress-free as soon as and got here up in life by hook or criminal. On the floor, it’s a problematic scene but the best way Selvaraghavan has handled it with some eccentric writing makes it wildly amusing.

As a lot because the movie works on account of Selvaraghavan’s quirky imaginative and prescient, it equally belongs to SJ Suryah, who makes it unimaginably humorous together with his over-the-prime efficiency that works fairly effectively within the movie’s favor. I’m unsure if the identical form of efficiency from some other actor would’ve had a comparable affect on the movie as a lot as Suryah left. Regina Cassandra, who lately impressed in Vishal starrer Chakra, is extremely good as Mariam, a position that matches her like a glove. Nandita Swetha’s position is sidelined for essentially the most a part of the movie but is successfully used in the direction of the tip.

What’s refreshing about Nenjam Marappathillai is that it is devoid of all the same old stereotypes one might affiliate with horror motion pictures. We don’t get the same old creaking doorways and shut up of the ghost on a character’s face. We nonetheless get some predictable moments but the best way Selva treats them make for an enticing watch.
