Moviesda Reviews
Nilavuku En Mel Ennadi Kobam is a light-hearted rom-com that blends old-school storytelling with a modern Gen Z touch. Dhanush’s direction is entertaining and self-aware, but the film suffers from inconsistent emotional depth, convenient writing, and uneven performances. Pavish Narayan channels shades of Dhanush, Anikha Surendran feels miscast, while Mathew Thomas shines with his comedy. Despite its flaws, NEEK showcases Dhanush’s versatility, making it fun but not deeply impactful.
Critical Reviews
Janani K of India Today rated the movie two and a half stars out of five stars and praises Dhanush’s talent but sees Nilavuku En Mel Ennadi Kobam as his weakest directorial effort. While it offers a fresh take on Gen-Z relationships with humor, inconsistent storytelling and lack of emotional depth hold it back. Mathew Thomas outshines lead Pavish Narayan, and the supporting cast is mixed. Despite its flaws, NEEK remains a passable watch for its wit and non-judgmental tone.
Sushmita Dey of Times Now rated the movie three stars out of five stars and calls NEEK a light-hearted rom-com with humor and modern relationship themes. Dhanush maintains an energetic tone, though emotional moments feel inconsistent. Mathew Thomas shines with his comedy, making NEEK an enjoyable watch for Gen Z.
Kirubhakar Purushothaman of News18 rated the movie three stars out of five stars and finds Nilavuku En Mel Ennadi Kobam a simple yet cliché rom-com, blending old-school storytelling with a modern setting. While Dhanush excels in comedy and self-aware humor, the romance feels outdated and overly convenient. Mathew Thomas steals the show, with his bromance with the lead overshadowing the film’s love story. Despite flaws in writing and predictability, Dhanush’s sporadic brilliance and humor make NEEK an entertaining watch.
M Suganth of The Times of India rated the movie three stars out of five stars and finds NEEK a breezy, entertaining rom-com that exceeds expectations but lacks emotional depth. Dhanush’s direction captures Gen Z relationships but keeps viewers at a distance. Performances are uneven, with Pavish Narayan echoing Dhanush, Anikha Surendran miscast, and Mathew Thomas providing comic relief. Despite its flaws, NEEK showcases Dhanush’s versatility but remains likeable, not loveable.
