Lalettan’s comeback

Mohanlal delivered a massive hit with the 2019 film Lucifer and the theatrical releases that followed did not live up to its success. “He is so back..Witnessing #Lalettan delivering long dialogues and garnering hooting and cheering from audience was a so satisfying. Anaswara gave a brilliant performance,” wrote a fan, pumped that a film would finally work.

Another wrote, “Tears tears tears! Not only because I am emotionally connected to the movie but also for the man who is back to cinema with good movie and good performance after a while. #Neru is definitely a good movie with great climax portion where @JeethuJosephDir delivers what he promised.”

Good performances by leads

Hailing the climax, apart from Mohanlal and Anaswara’s performances, one fan wrote, “My reaction after the climax of #Neru! Mohanlal - the performer. Anashwara deserves all the awards.”

Another fan even went as far as calling Anaswara the heart of the film while criticising other actors in the film, writing, “Answara Rajan is the heart of this movie. Lalettan did well along with Siddique. The rest of the cast including Jagadish not impressive, especially Santi Mayadevi...Enna veruppikal...There are a few good moments in this courtroom drama, but not engaging throughout #Neru.”

A fan even opined that the film was ‘hard and emotional,’ writing, “#neru is a good film with #JeethuJoseph catching it in his way of making, hard & emotional. @AnaswaraOffl is absolutely terrific in her role of #sara,the best of her till date. #lalettan may be similar to #oppam #drishyam where he is helpless in situations. @Mohanlal is back!!!!!!”
