A Romantic Thriller with an Uninspiring Storytelling!
Vishnu Varadhan has got the basics right, the development is where the film misfires. Aditi Shankar has shouldered from the performance front, an expressive hero with better acting skills would have made the difference.(more)

A subpar film with an intriguing premise
Nesippaya had so much promise with its cast of proven talents and an intriguing basic premise, but the film never reaches up to its expectations. The love portions are better written but promote (even if unintentionally) a questionable view on relationships. Once Nesippaya goes into full-on thriller mode, it tries to stick to a standard and seen-before template, which further works against the film's favour.(more)

Aditi Shankar, Akash Murali's suspense drama lacks thrill
Akash Murali makes his debut with Nesippaya and has done a decent job. However, it will take a few more films for him to find his footing and get into the groove. His voice and the way he moves remind us of Atharvaa Murali. Aditi Shankar is fun in the romantic portions but undersells her performance in a few emotional sequences. Kalki Koechlin as a lawyer is yet another character that deserves a lot more agency and weight. Sarathkumar, Khushbu and Raja have interesting characters. Though they delivered their best, their characters could have been explored more. Composer Yuvan Shankar Raja's music is the backbone of Nesippaya. Nesippaya is director Vishnuvardhan's weakest film yet. The suspense drama suffers because of predictability and lacks any big suspense(more)

Contrived writing clouds Vishnu Varadhan's promising premise
Nesippaya might not be the dream debut he wished for, but Akash Murali does promise great things. He looks the part and gives his all, whether it is a stunt-heavy chase sequence or a tender, tranquil moment with his lover. Of course, he could have toned down a bit, like by avoiding that annoying �I love ooo� (meant to be a half-eaten �I love you�) or that gesture he makes in a pivotal moment, symbolically catching Diya and taking her into his heart. Aditi, on the other hand, looks more confident in Nesippaya but fails to come into her own in scenes that need a higher dramatic pitch.(more)
