Nenu

About This Movie

So, 'Nenu' is this intriguing piece from 2004 directed by E. Sathi Babu. It’s a drama-romance that dives deep into the life of a genius orphan, raised in a rather unique environment by a church priest. The pacing feels a bit slow at times, but it really allows you to soak in the protagonist’s isolation and inner turmoil. The way the orphan navigates college life is quite striking; he's a total social outcast, yet the film balances that with a glimmer of hope through his friendship with a kind girl. The chemistry there is palpable, but things get complicated as feelings deepen. The performances have this rawness that feels authentic, making it stand out in the landscape of early 2000s cinema.
