Nenorakam Movie Review Highlights: The movie strives, but first half lets it down

Nenorakam is a film that fits well into the drama genre with actors Sarath Kumar, Reshmi Menon and M S Narayana in crucial roles. The plot of the film revolves around Gautam (played by Sairam Shakar), who is a loan recovery agent, and his endeavours to win over the love of an altruistic girl next door Swecha essayed by Reshmi Menon.
The first half of the film deals with how Gautam tries vicious ways to charm Swecha, which she eventually uncovers, but in the process falls for him.And that’s where the plot changes gears as a gang involved in human trafficking kidnaps her. The twist sets the tone for the second half in which the onus is on Gautam to rescue her.
The first half of the two-hour-long movie is a slow burner as it’s the second half that gives actual pace to the plot. While cinematography, Viva Harsha’s comic timing and Mahit Narayan’s music score are the highlights of the movie; mediocre editing, weak dialogues and Prudhvi’s, at times, forced comedy are the weaklings of the first half.
