Cast: Vincent Ashokan, Navya Nair, Vineeth
Directed by Jayaraj
Music by Srikanth Deva
Sila Nerangalil sees the debut of Jayaraj into Tamil movies. Jayaraj who was once considered a promising director suddenly sticks out like a man who has no clue what he is upto. His recent malayalam films have all turned out to be duds. But if he thinks the Tamil audiences might make better audiences, we cannot advise otherwise.
But he choses a reincarnation theme flick and wraps it as a thriller for his first Tamil venture, with a basic storyline that sounds a lot close to the back story of the classic Manichitratazhu.
The film also sees the transition of Vincent Ashokan from villain to a leading man while Malayalam actress Navya Nair still tries to make a mark in Tamil cinema.
Navya Nair lands up at an missionary home in Udayagiri with no memory of her past. All we know is that the girl is a troubled one with strange visions of her own murder. Meanwhile the person trying to cure her, Jo (Vincent Asokan) finally gets the help of a noted psychiatrist Dr Gopalakrishan (Raghuvaran) and together they try to plunge into the deep pysche of this patient.
What they realise though is that this girl is a reincarnation of Thamarai who was brutally murdered forty years back, for which her husband was sentenced to death. And further twist when they realise that Jo too is a reincarnation of the husband Chidambaram.
Now the past and the present merge as they try to hunt down the real killer.
THE PANEL ROOM
rates it 3 outta 5
Al lthe following reviews give the basic idea is that the makers have managed to come out with something decent enough despite a loop bound script. Some reviewers are as confused as the characters too I guess. While they have praises for the movie, they eventually rate the movie too low.
Both Navya Nair and Vincent Ashokan seems to be getting fair reviews for their work though it is Raghuvaran who seems to have walked away with the best deal. For a change, no one is panning him for being trademark feature.
On the whole Silanerangalil is nothing to scream about. At the same time if you have some time to kill, it's worth a look. - SIFY
Clever in parts and lame in some, Sila Nerangalil plays hide and seek with logic and evokes a déjà vu feeling of the late 80s Tamil cinema - Behindwoods 2.5/5
Notwithstanding the flaws and loose-ends, Director Jayaraj has come up with an exciting murder mystery based on the theory of rebirth or reincarnation. Nowrunning
director by veteran Malayalam director Jayaraj does keep you at the edge of your seat which is an accomplishment in itself. Rediff
Watch Sila Nerangalil with your logics partially left outside theatres...make you feel that you have watched a good movie for 2 hours. KollywoodToday
Valuating the film on a whole, Sila Nerangalil is a relief to class audiences who were seeking for a different genre Cinefundas
