Brilliant storytelling and coming-of-age performances
There are plenty of moving scenes in the movie. For instance, the scene where the fisherman gives a fish to the doctor as a token of gratitude is so poignant. There is also ample dose of comedy in the film, which will have you in splits. On the flip side, the movie starts off slowly and takes time for the setting up of the premise of the story.(more)

Neerparavai is sincere
The film keeps you engaged not so much on the strength of its plot, as it does for the interesting characters who inhabit it. It is a moving drama that will undoubtedly leave you with a lump in your throat. And films like this are hard to find.(more)

Water war
Though there are some political overtones and mushy drama, one can applaud Seenu Ramasamy for his conviction. Udhayanidhi Stalin should also be lauded for gathering guts to produce a meaningful cinema.(more)

There is a lot to like in Neerparavai
The technical crew has pitched in with its best. Balasubramaniem's superb camerawork that captures the various moods and tones of the sea is one of the highlights and Raghunanthan's songs Para Para... and Yaar Veetu... enhance the film's emotions very well (though his background score is at times overpowering).(more)

If meaningful cinema matters to you, go for it.
As a producer, Udayanidhi Stalin can be proud of having backed a purposeful film, and as a creator, Seenu Ramasamy makes the water bird preen, and soar with confidence.(more)
