Kadhalikka Neramillai (2025) Movie Review

A split-screen image features a man and a woman looking at each other while holding onto a swing, both smiling. The text "Kadhalikka Neramillai" is displayed in a stylish font above them, with the handle "@randomwhys" at the bottom.
1–2 minutes

It’s nice to see a different kind of story in Tamil cinema. I watched Kadhalikka Neramillai yesterday. The overall story and the concept is good. I don’t have much to say because it felt like the movie focused more on the bigger picture rather than the small moments that actually make an impact. They handled things in subtle manner which is appreciable and pleasantable to watch.

From start to finish, some parts stood out. The single parent aspect felt idealized, even though they tried to justify it with a speech about the missing father or football game. Yes, it’s an individual choice, but raising a child alone requires quite a lot of resources as shown in the movie. I just hope this doesn’t create false expectations among people. Definitely, Nithya pulled her grace.

As for the male lead, he showed no interest in marriage, neither with Shriya nor with his previous partner. It reminded me of He’s Just Not That Into You, movie, where the character Beth shares a similar ideology of not wanting marriage. Tho, it explained the roles better, the weight of partner and the importance of not requiring a marriage while still portraying commitment in a relationship.

The movie also introduces a gay characters, which is a good step for Tamil cinema. It’s a decent attempt, but it could have been explored more. Overall, it is good posh watch for the weekend. Available in Netflix

Cheers!
