Neerparavai

About This Movie

Neerparavai presents a poignant exploration of grief and guilt through the eyes of Esther, played with raw intensity by Nandita Das. The film unfolds slowly, allowing the audience to steep in Esther's emotional turmoil as she recounts the tragic tale of her husband Arulappasamy, whose disappearance has haunted her for decades. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of dread and sorrow, cleverly enhanced by the stark coastal setting that mirrors the characters' internal struggles. Vishnu's portrayal of Arulappasamy, though limited in screen time, resonates profoundly. The pacing lingers, almost meditative at times, but it masterfully builds tension as Agnes, the cop, delves deeper into Esther's confession. It's a heavy watch, marked by its unflinching honesty and haunting narrative style.
