TAMIL MOVIE RELEASE EXPECTATION

Ever since his Thattathin Marayathu became a hit with youngsters, Nivin Pauly joined the ranks of new age actors with promise in Malayalam cinema. Neram is his latest, released last week in Malayalam, now being released in Tamil. The movie follows the latest tradition of movie making with slickly cut scenes, thumping music and an all-young star cast with a story that is imaginative enough.

Directed by debut director Alphonse Putharen whose earlier stints include ad film making, Neram is about an unemployed youth who has borrowed heavily from a loan shark. The movie portrays Nivin's travails in repaying the money while engaging in a romance with Nazriya Nazim.

Nivin and Nazriya are joined by Thambi Ramaiah, Nassar, John Vijay, Charle and Simhaa. Neram is scored by Rajesh Murugesan and the songs are already quite popular in Malayalam. Alphonse himself handles the editing of the movie. Releasing this weekend all over, distributed by Red Giant Movies, Neram will be poised to cash in on the popularity of indie movies that are in rage now.
