The start that appeared promising soon sags.

One pleasing aspect of ad filmmaker Jayendra's debut feature movie, Nootrenbadhu is its enticing visuals that often move across the screen in perfect harmony. Unfortunately, as has often been the case with ad filmmakers turning to movie direction, Jayendra in his effort to create picture perfect fra...(more)

180 is a cliche.

The production values are brilliant, Balasubramaniem's camera-work is spotless, Sharreth's music is easy on the ears while V.Selvakumar's artwork is all cool. Then you come down to the story, penned by writers Subha and Jayendra himself. And you wonder exactly how and where it goes, or if its even g...(more)

Great visuals, wonderful colors, weak screenplay.

Jayendra's writing is filed with innovative ingredients that are going to garner lot of fans.

180 - When destiny meets drama.

The film that has story, screenplay and dialogues by Subha and Jayendra's film is no doubt a visual treat. Unfortunately the storyline is very familiar and the director has tried his best to leave an impression with his narration. Siddharth walks away with honors. Priya Anand has come a long way fro...(more)

All in all, a good effort that's bound to appeal to the urban youth, definitely worth a watch.

Clear, clean visuals. A good looking, well dressed cast. Nootri Enbadhu is an impressive directorial debut with an interesting plot, good pace, well-picked stars, apt music and a twist in the tale! Siddharth carries the entire movie on his shoulders and at no point does he show the slightest strain....(more)
