Nilavuku Enmel Ennadi Kobam: A Breezy Rom-Com That Lacks Emotional Depth
Dhanush’s Nilavuku Enmel Ennadi Kobam (NEEK) is a lighthearted take on modern love, following Prabhu (Pavish), a young chef torn between his ex, Nila (Anikha Surendran), and his potential bride, Preethi (Priya Prakash Varrier). The film’s casual storytelling, filled with witty banter and a visually vibrant style, captures the spirit of Gen Z romance but struggles to establish emotional stakes. Pavish’s performance echoes shades of Dhanush, but the chemistry between the leads feels underwhelming, particularly due to Anikha’s youthful presence. While GV Prakash Kumar’s music and the film’s humor add charm, the narrative remains surface-level, making NEEK an entertaining but unmemorable romantic comedy.
