Story

When Elango and Pulivetti find a time machine, they decide to use it to make money. While meddling with time, they prevent a gangster's death and this lands them in trouble.

When you make a film on time travel, three things are ineludible - fancy gadgets, a geeky scientist and the time jumping laws (how the time machine works). Though we have quite a few films talking about time machine and time travels in the West, people who are not exposed to such kind of films will feel alienated to this concept.

 

But the director has made sure to not confuse the audience with too many scientific terms and let the people enjoy the fantasy ride with very minimum science references. Ravi Kumar has to be credited for taking a western theory like time travel and glazing it perfectly with local cultural sentiments. The story looks so complicated yet very convincing and it is for sure the hero of the film.    

 

Tamil cinema has come across a handful of science fictions but not many could stand the test of time, due to various reasons like budget constraints and execution flaws while some could not connect with the audience because of the lack of contemporary native references. But when it comes to Indru Netru Naalai, CV Kumar, as a producer has made sure that Ravi Kumar gets everything that is required to make this film, a crisp and fastidious product that people can relate easily to.
