Introduction:

A Malayalam film, Neru: Seeking Justice. The main cast of the Jeethu Joseph-directed film included Mohanlal, Priyamani, and Anaswara Rajan. Other well-known performers cast for Neru: Seeking Justice include Matthew Varghese, Siddique and Jagadish, Dinesh Prabhakar, Nandu, and Ganesh Kumar.

Story:

After being raped, Sara, a blind girl, alerts the authorities to the perpetrator. But is there enough proof to hold him accountable?

Review: 

Jeetu Joseph is the best if you're seeking for a sophisticated, massy movie. He does something that makes you feel emotionally committed in addition to giving you a rush of adrenaline. This is maybe much better than the Drishyam series, and it will undoubtedly increase the popularity of Malayalam material throughout India.

Neru jumps immediately into the story in the opening scene, yet because there isn't any prior development, none of the characterisations appear trite. The fact that Sara (Anaswara Rajan), a young girl, was sexually assaulted makes it challenging to gather proof.But because she's a skilled sculptor, she makes a clay replica of his likeness, which leads the police to detain a young man who was visiting a friend in the neighborhood. The remainder of the movie is a court procedural drama in which the accused's riches and power are contrasted with a blind girl's testimony.

Siddique and Priyamani portray a father-daughter legal team from Delhi that is in charge of defending the accused, Sankar Induchoodan, a powerful and well-to-do family member. Additionally, the victim and her parents are advised by the investigating officer (Ganesh Kumar) to retain the services of a hesitant Vijayamohan (Mohanlal) after the accused is granted bail due to the stupidity of a fumbling prosecutor. It appears like a bit of a David-versus-Goliath fight between Vijayamohan and Siddique's character Radhakrishnan because of their past interactions and the fact that the former is back in court after a five-year hiatus. For the whole 152-minute film, this is what keeps audiences emotionally invested and on the edge of their seats. You won't even look away from the screen to dab at a tear.

Viewers are shown how documents and evidence can be falsified, as well as the heartbreaking battle a victim must endure—especially in court—to obtain justice. Congratulations to Jeethu Joseph for writing a relevant story and to Santhi Mayadevi for playing the endearing part of Friday, Mohanlal's friend. Although it might not be a perfect depiction of our legal system, it is one that, We also intend to raise significant problems for people to think about.

Mohanlal gives the proper amount of drama to relay Vijayamohan's message to Radhakrishnan that "today's women won't suffer injustice quietly" and that he should try to change without making it seem cheesy while still drawing cheers from the crowd. Some of these key exchanges include Sara's vehement remarks regarding consent or her father's (Jagadish) comment, "What a terrible system that we might lose, despite presenting so much evidence."

The character interactions are particularly noteworthy as well. Sara and her parents enjoy a loving and respectful relationship, and the family even manages to weave in a humorous moment amidst their tragedy. Even the friendship of Vijayamohan between Santhi's character and the undertone of uneasiness caused by a past romance with Priyamani's character is well done.

The filmmaker doesn't let up until the climactic scene, when Sara unlike the typical rape victim discloses her identity with the help of her parents. She wants to lift her head high and has nothing to hide, not so that everyone can see her.

It is Mohanlal's excellently restrained performance that lends the movie its wholesome tone. Despite the impression that Mohanlal steals the show, a fantastic ensemble castincluding Mathew Varghese, who portrays the judge comes together to create a truly remarkable film. Of course, Anaswara steals the show with her flawless transitions between roughness and sensitivity. Both actors give outstanding performances in the film's concluding scene starring Sara and Vijayamohan, which will leave you with a lump in your throat.

The soundtrack by Vishnu Shyam appropriately matches the movie's pacing, especially when it comes to enhancing some dramatic scenes. Cinematographer Satheesh Kurup's shots not only help the movie move along more quickly but also, and perhaps more crucially, let us get to know the people. This is especially true when several of the scenes open with exterior shots of the house.

Neru benefits from having a more realistic story than Drishyam. Even so, it is equally gaudy and suitable for all audiences.

Message from the movie:

The Malayalam courtroom drama Neru, starring actor Mohanlal and directed by Jeethu Joseph, establishes the tone early on: rape is not fatal, and the victim has no cause to feel ashamed, guilty, or degraded. The story goes beyond the traditional tragedy to convey the important idea that rape's aftermath does not necessarily mean an irreversible loss of identity.

Fundamentally, 'Neru' delves into the experience of a rape survivor. The victim girl, a talented sculptor who suffered a medical issue that caused her to lose her vision at the age of twelve, has all the sympathy in the world, but she has no proof beyond the aggressor's face, which she sculpts over night, less than twenty-four hours after she was molested by him. Sara (Anaswara Rajan) was rendered helpless and overpowered, and her only means of identifying the person was to feel his face with her fingers and palms. And she succeeds in doing so even in the face of extreme hardship. Later, she transforms her worst suffering into art, an act that serves as the movie's main subject and highlights Sara's tenacity and unwavering spirit.

Conclsion :
