When Vijayamohan, played by Mohanlal, was introduced in Neru (Truth), my brain immediately picked and played an incredibly funny Key & Peele sketch in my mind. That sketch, “Retired Military Specialist,” sums up the cliched character arc of every maverick male lead. It goes like this: An invincible professional who refuses to follow the regular ways, hailed as the next biggest star in his domain, botches a job. Abandoned by his peers, he now lives a hermit life. Then, a new impossible job appears, and there are no worthy takers. It would take some persuasion from the side-kicks – who always lament about how good he was – for him to take up the job.
In Jeethu Joseph’s Neru, Vijayamohan exactly fits the above description. Meanwhile, his nemesis, the powerful Supreme Court lawyer Rajasekharan, brilliantly played by Siddique, is an archetype villain. But these character traits don’t confine the film to...

Neru Movie Review Rating:
Genre: Drama
Star Cast: Mohanlal, Priyamani, Anaswara Rajan, Siddique, Jagadish, Ganesh Kumar, Sankar Induchoodan, Sreedhanya, Santhi Mayadevi
Director: Jeethu Joseph
Producer: Antony Perumbavoor

Neru Movie Review(Photo Credit –IMDb)
What’s Good: Mohanlal’s versatile performance as Advocate Vijayamohan anchors the movie, showcasing commendable preparation and immersion in the character. The initial half captivates with compelling courtroom scenes, notably Siddique’s portrayal of the defense lawyer.
What’s Bad: The film needs to improve in maintaining balance, with exaggerated situations and an unnecessarily extended latter portion. Some scenes feel overly dramatic and need more authenticity, deviating from the genuine storytelling expected in Malayalam films.
Loo Break: Consider a loo break during the scene where Jagadish, portraying the victim’s father, goes around lawyers to seek representation for his daughter in court.
