NIRAHU ANARI : Movie Review

Produed by Arimardan Singh, Nirahu Anari is the second venture of director Avinash Tripathi and actor Virendar Singh Chuahan aka Nirahu after their first movie Nirahu Ke Love Story. Child marriage has always been a topic of debate in India and though India has been developing continuously, child marriage is quite prevalent in the villages till now. Nirahu Anari has been made keeping the issue of child marriage as the center of the story and one expects the movie to be quite sensitive and emotional affair. Does it really manage to live up to the expectations of the audience? Well, no quite so…

Nirahu Anari revolves around the family of Banarasi Singh(Vinod Singh) family where his mother Subhadra Singh gets her grandson, Rohit, married at a very tender age against the will of his sons, Banarasi Singh and Kashi Singh(Sonu Singh). Rohit then goes to US for his studies and her wife Vidya(Kalpana Shah) is left in the village. One fine day, the servant of the palace, Pheku(Anand Mohan) brings his son Nirahu(Virendar Singh Chauhan) to the palace where Nirahu wins the hearts of the family of Banarasi Singh by singing a song. He is then given the duty of safeguarding Vidya. While Nirahu honestly performs his duty, Vidya falls for him and starts loving him. Banarasi Singh and Kashi Singh come to know about it one day and order Nirahu to leave the village. Nirahua, then vows to come back and take revenge from both of them. How he manages to do this forms the crux of the story.

The movie mainly suffers in the department of the screenplay. No doubt the effort has been honest one but the screenplay should have been tighter. The story jumps from one scene to another without any reference thus affecting the continuity of the movie. 

When you move into the theatre to watch Nirahu Anari, you expect the movie to be packed with lots of good punches, but alas! The movie tries hard to make the audience smile but fails. Except for a few scenes (like the one where Virender and Anand Mohan sleep together), all other punches fall flat. 

The major asset of the movie is the music of the movie, though it too, has some drawbacks. The movie has some really good songs, “dhokha bahute rahal” and “mohababat kii mohabbat” being the best of the lot. As for drawbacks, the songs “lehenga mein AC” and “balam kare gundagardi” were just not required in the movie and affect the pace of the movie. It seems that the songs were desperately put into the movie to attract the masses.Moreover, these songs will surely restrict the family audience from watching the movie. Direction of this movie, as said previously, has been affected by the screenplay though Avinash Tripathi shows promises to come up with good products if given good screenplays. Action(Gabbar Singh) are just too unrealistic to be believed. Cinamatography is so so. Dialogues are passable and editing should have been tighter.

Virender Singh Chauhan aka Nirahu is natural, though it should be mentioned that he is far more comfortable in comic roles rather than the emotional ones. Kalpana Shah acts well and shows promises. Anand Mohan is the best of the lot. Vinod Singh is expressionless. Sonu Singh hams.His ‘aye saala’ starts irritating few minutes after the movie starts. Rest of the cast has nothing much to do. 

 All in all, Nirahu Anari would have been a thorough entertainer provided it had the right screenplay and good dialogues. Nirahu Anari can be termed as a movie which had good idea but failed to implement it. As per box office, the movie is expected to get a good response in the rural areas due to its songs and presentation. 

The opening of the movie has been quite impressive given that the movie does not star known faces.But the business will slide down on the lower side as the day progresses.
