Story:
NRI Anaamika [Nayantara] flies to
Hyderabad and heads straight to police station to file a missing
complaint of her husband Ajay Swaminathan [Harshavardhan Rane]. Though
the police don’t take her seriously, one young cop Saradhi [Vaibhav]
helps her. While the duo tries to trace the case clearing the hurdles
and getting the clues, they get to know that the National Security and
anti terrorist Squad is involved in it. Anamika finds out that Ajay
Swaminathan’s name is linked with Milan Damji, who is a dreaded
terrorist. What does Anaamika do? Is Ajay really terrorist? How does she
overcome hurdles and reach her goal forms rest.
Performances:
Being a heroine-centric film, Nayanatara has
large scope for performance and the actress delivers a neat and classy
performance. She does the role in her style and justifies Anaamika
characterization.
Vaibhav is quite
impressive in his roles as Sarathi, Pasupathy as Khan is convincing,
Harshavardan Rane is justifying in his brief role and others are
adequate.
Technical Analysis:
Sekhar Kammula for the first time
wielded the megaphone for a remake film that too a suspense thriller and
yes he scores in direction. Though this is his first Tamil film he has
billed it well, while screenplay could have been much racier in first
half.
Among the technicalities, MM Keeravani
scores big. The background score is the biggest asset of Nee Enge En
Anbe. Despite slow proceedings, Keeravani has taken the film to another
level.
Cinematography is on top-notch,
Dialogues are crisp and neat. Production values are good. Editing could
have been crispier in initial hour. There are few scenes that look
repetitive in the first half and editing could’ve been better in this
hour.
Analysis
Despite the fact that Nee Enge En Anbe
is Sekhar's first remake and thriller, he has executed some of the
emotional scenes quite impressively including the climax. Like all other
Sekhar Kammula films, Nee Enge En Anbe doesn’t rotate around youthful
scenes or romance, but the director makes it a neat package.
Entire crew has done an impressive work
including cinematography and music. Though the first half of the film
moves at a slow pace, it’s the second half you’ll be glued to screens
for its racy screenplay. Also, Sekhar could have revealed on how Nayan
gets to know about Milan Damji or what happened to Hard disk and what is
in it.
The run time is also an added advantage
for Nee Enge En Anbe. Despite many implemented changes, few of the
crucial twists in Kahaani and Nee Enge En Anbe remain similar.
Final Verdict: Worth watching classy suspense thriller...
