Synopsis

Oru Nodi

The movie starts of with a woman going to a police station to complain about her missing husband, Sekhar. When asked by a Constable, she says that she suspects Karimedu Thyagu, a ruthless loan shark to kidnap her husband. When constable refuses to take the case due to Thyagu's influence, a sincere police inspector Paruthi Ilamaran takes up the case. He has a strong feeling that Thyagu had done this due to a feud between Thyagu and Sekhar as the latter did not oblige to give his land documents resulting in Thyagu forcefully grabbing his documents from him. Paruthi was about to arrest Thyagu but was stopped by MLA Thirugnanamoorrhy, Thyagu's friend and a corrupt MLA Paruthi successfully arrests Thyagu and interrogates him in a room about the kidnapping. But Thyagu does not divulge any information to him. Meanwhile, there is another case of a woman murdered mysteriously in a farm. Paruthi investigates the case and finds out that she's Parvathy, a girl working in a jewellery store. She gets stalked by a man named Natraj into pressurising her to marry him. Paruthi goes to catch Natraj but he hanged himself upon getting shocked by Parvathy's death. Then he interrogates her parents but her father denies any love affair, making Paruthi suspicious. Paruthi finds out that Parvathy indeed had a boyfriend named Jeeva who Paruthi had met for some important case. When Jeeva gave wrong details to Paruthi, he catches him and beats him in a police station.

The New Indian Express

★★★★★ ★★★★★ 2/5

This has been the most predominant shortcoming of the film. It rebelliously wishes to stand out, which it does in some parts, without realising that being different is not the entire purpose of a story. The screenplay takes the attention span of the audience for granted, with the film focusing on two different police cases at the same time. One scene jostles with another, just when we learn who is who and why they behave the way they do. This would have been a well-made film if just one of the two stories was given prominence and the other was relegated to a negligible subplot or a cold case with a yet-to-be-discovered startling truth that could solve both the cases. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case.
