Performance

Ashok Selvan, who portrays a variety of personalities in this love drama, is wholly responsible for this travelogue, if we can call it that. He portrays each persona differently, down to his body language and speech, and he does an admirable job of pulling it off. In fact, all of the actors did such an incredible job, you’ll love every single role.

Direction / Technical Side

The movie “Nitham Oru Vaanam” is a feel-good film created by director Ra. Karthik with the goal of uplifting viewers from all backgrounds. You really hope Kollywood would offer us more heroines like these because of how intricately written the female characters are and how well they are all acted. The journal’s second story—about the romance and struggles of Prabha and Madhi—is what really holds the reader’s attention.

Direction / Technical Side

The first half’s sense of familiarity, which is brought on by sequences that make you think of classic movies from the past, is a little depressing. This movie is about how deeply a person may love and the wounds that can remain after realizing that same love no longer exists. Vidhu’s cinematography is excellent in terms of technical skill. In a beautiful way, he has caught the natural beauty of several Indian locales. The songs by Gopi Sundar are enjoyable to listen to, while Tharan Kumar’s background music has improved the settings.
