Nerkonda Paarvai Movie Review: Critics Call Thala Ajith's Remake of Pink One of His Best Films to Date
Nerkonda Paarvai also stars Shraddha Srinath, Abhirami Venkatachalam, Andrea Tariang, Arjun Chidambaram, Adhik Ravichandran, Sujith Shankar and Delhi Ganesh. Bollywood actress Vidya Balan makes her Tamil debut with the movie, playing the character of the hero's wife.
Ajith Kumar aka Thala, as his fans call him, is returning as the leading man in Nerkonda Paarvai. The movie marks the debut of Boney Kapoor as a producer in Tamil Cinema, made as per the wishes of his late wife, actress Sridevi. Nerkonda Paarvai, directed by H Vinoth, is a remake of the 2016 Bollywood film, PINK, that starred Amitabh Bachchan and Taapsee Pannu in the lead. Ajith Kumar steps into Amitabh Bachchan's shoes, playing a lawyer defending three innocent girls accused of attempt to murder on a bureaucrat's son. At the same time, through his arguments, the character also exposes the narrowmindedness the society has towards women, especially the ones with a modern mindset. With Nerkonda Paarvai, Sridevi’s Dream of Ajith Kumar Working with Boney Kapoor Is Fulfilled.

And the reactions from the show have been overwhelmingly positive. Special praise has been reserved for Ajith's powerful performance, and how the director has changed the narrative of PINK to suit its lead actor's image.

It looks like Ajith has another winner in his hands, this time it would be a blockbuster that is also being received well by the critics. A quality some of his recent hits can't claim.
