Nizharkudai¡¯s plot overview

Nizharkudai follows Lancy and Niranjan, a young couple from different religions who are focused on building a life in the US. Their little daughter, Nila, has a medical condition that causes seizures if she cries too much. Since her parents are busy chasing careers and visa approvals, Nila is mostly left in the care of others.

After a rough experience with one babysitter, they hire Jyoti, an older Sri Lankan refugee living in an old-age home. Jyoti has her own emotional baggage, but she quickly forms a loving, motherly bond with Nila. Her care and affection for the child feel genuine, and their relationship becomes the heart of the film.

Meanwhile, the parents' constant arguments and neglect come across as forced and unconvincing. The story suddenly shifts gears when Nila gets kidnapped, creating a sense of urgency that feels a bit over-the-top. Inspector Ilavarasu starts an investigation, and in the end, the big reveal is that Nila was taken by her own grandparents, who meant no harm.

Nizharkudai¡¯s review

The Times of India rated the movie 1.5 out of 5, and a part of their review read, ¡°If you're looking for subtle storytelling, Nizharkudai might not be your first stop. Nizharkudai tries to tackle important themes like parental neglect and the sacrifices made for ambition. It was like a lecture disguised as a movie; even dramas can be fun, but this one was just preachy. In its eagerness to deliver a message, the film forgets that even the most important stories need to breathe.¡±
