Richie starring Nivin Pauly and Shradhha Srinath in the lead roles ha s hit the screens finally. Having a Malayalam actor as the male lead, the movie managed to grab many screens, thanks to the hype around the film. Will the movie live up to all this hype, let's find out. The story is set up in Tuticorin which is known for shipping mafia in the film. The people of Manapad make arrangements to celebrate a big festival and the story gets interesting one of the villagers discovers a treasure. At this point, Nivin Pauly is introduced as a local goon, Richie. How the treasure thing unfolds as the story moves forward should be seen on the big screen.
Nivin Pauly is extremely convincing as Richie a local rowdy with a mass attitude. He is an absolute treat to watch in this mass avatar and it is a complete makeover from his recent film Njandukalude Nattil Oridavela. Though he is introduced after a while in the first half, he takes over from there and carries the film on his shoulders. Considering the fact that Richie is her first film, Shraddha Srinath impresses with her looks as well as performance. Nataraj Subramanyian as a thug does justice to his role, Prakash Raj and others performed well in their roles.
Technically, the film is brilliant and looks quite different from what we see regularly in Tamil cinema. Pandi Kumar has captured the coastal locations of Manapad beautifully and the festival sequences are a treat to watch. Editing and art direction are fine. Coming to director Gautham Ramachandran he does a fairly good job in presenting Nivin Pauly in a new avatar and presents us with a new kind of neo-noir film. Had he taken care of entertainment factor, the film would've been even better. Production Values are neat.
Verdict: Nivin Pauly steals the show in this well-made mass thriller.
