A landmark film that is bold, experimental, and still very watchable and entertaining. Usually such projects end up being self-obsessed and art film types, but Iravin Nizhal respects its audience, entertains them, and provides a fulfilling if unsettling viewing experience. It deals with some very dark and disturbing themes and may even make you feel guilty at times of deriving fun from the miseries of the characters, but still I would prefer this film over less the mindless films that come out in name of cinema.
IN is a cinematic treat for AR Rahman and cinema fans. The best parts of the film for me were towards the first half where the fire and colorful imagery blends so so well with the brilliant score. It is pure cinema, in those parts at least. I felt ARR just got the film more than anyone. His score lives and breathes the film. A visual poetry...brilliant in most parts evocative in others, a bold dark personal no holds barred piece of cinema. Mr. R Parthieban, thanks for releasing it in english subs and opening it up to a wider audience.
