Nibunan is an action crime thriller written and directed by Arun Vaidyanathan with Anand Raghav supporting him in screenplay department. We have not seen any psycho crime thrillers in the recent past, so there is a chance for the film to click well with the audience, especially the ones who are fond of such movies.
Nibunan which translates in English as 'expert' could have been a little more expertly made. The screenplay is gripping, but there are a few other factors like emotions that lack depth. It is a genuine attempt, but still, a few things look artificial which you will know it while watching. A little more detailing in a few aspects could have totally changed the perspective of the film.
But having said that, if you overlook these minor flaws, Nibunan is a solid investigative thriller that holds your attention throughout. The film has got too much to tell, but the intention has its perks. It starts off a little slow and takes its own sweet time to settle but once you get into the core plot, the film keeps you buzzing till the pre-climax. Though the climax fight is shot well, the whole climax sequence idea could have been conceived better as the ending follows an overbeaten template.
In most psycho-thrillers, you get a flashback portion which could disturb the flow of the film. Here the flashback is short, crisp and does not hinder the narration.
