Dhanush is back with his third directorial venture, and it’s receiving well-deserved praise for his exceptional work.
Nilavuku En Mel Ennadi Kobam (NEEK) is a charming Tamil romantic comedy, which hit the screens today, 21st February. Dhanush has not only directed the film but also co-wrote and produced it, showcasing his multi-faceted talent.
The story follows Prabhu (played by Pavish Narayan), a culinary student, and Nila (Anikha Surendhan), whose paths cross at a party. After a series of heartwarming, "meet-cute" moments, the two fall in love. Just when things seem perfect, a family crisis forces them apart. Life moves on, but Prabhu decides to attend Nila’s wedding, leading to a rollercoaster of emotions and revelations.
Now, let’s dive into what audiences are sharing on X (Formerly Twitter) about the film:
Taking to X, while praising the film overall and its background music, one of the user wrote,
