‘Netrikann’ review: A middling thriller that packs in oodles of sentiment

Nayanthara headlines this Tamil remake of Korean film ‘Blind’

Nayanthara has always featured in films in which sentiment plays a major role. If in her Viswasam, starring Ajith, the ‘daughter sentiment’ was a major factor, in Bigil, starring Vijay, the ‘women-empowerment sentiment’ was the driving force. In her latest Tamil film Netrikann, based on Korean film Blind, Nayanthara channels the ‘thambi sentiment’. She plays Durga, a CBI officer who is very protective of her brother. She doesn’t want him in bad company, and in the first scene of the film, drags him out of a party. The brother-sister duo is heading back home when an accident occurs, during which Durga loses her eyesight. Will life ever be the same again?
