Netrikann Movie Review: Nayanthara’s crime thriller is bland and illogical

Director Milind Rau’s Netrikann starring Nayanthara and Ajmal Ameer is a film about a psycho killer and a visually impaired person. The film ended up being a damp squib devoid of any high points.

A bunch of young guys and girls are partying in a well-lit pub in the heart of the city. One of the guys in the gang is snorting cocaine and forces Adithya to try. Adithya refuses. He is seen getting continuous calls from his sister Durga Akka (Nayanthara), a CBI officer who is on her way to the pub to give him an earful. While on their way back, they meet with a car accident. While Adithya dies, Durga loses her eyesight in the accident. Now, this is a great build-up to the story and we see Nayanthara getting a heroic welcome. Quite literally. She oozes confidence and owns the screen. Even when she loses her eyesight, Durga isn’t a brooding woman. She takes Braille classes and learns to live with the loss of eyesight.
