UNIQUE EXPERIENCE!

There are certain lows in the screenplay that pulls down the engagement value and the film is definitely not everyone�s cup of tea. Yet manages to hold to an extent and surely a fascinating attempt.

Director Parthiban has always looked to infuse films with some messaging, and Iravin Nizhal is no different. He touches upon several topics, right from drugs and abuse to fake godmen and loan sharks. While he has never flinched from discussing taboo topics, here, he seems more eager, given that the ...(more)

Strong performances, technical prowess and Parthiban's craziness makes Iravin Nizhal a film you shouldn't miss!

Iravin Nizhal is a technical marvel, that definitely needed crisp writing. However what Parthiban has achieved through this is pathbreaking, and makes us forget the flaws in the screenplay and writing. There are the usual 'Parthiban Wordplay' dialogues, but half of them distract us from the scene, ...(more)
