The plot
Produced by Sridevi and directed by S. Venky Baboo, Inime Naangadaan’s plot revolves around a bunch of friends – Vicchu, Varathu, Vaithi and Govind – hailing from a small village and how they chase their dream to get rich, without having to working hard. As the movie unfurls, the viewer is taken on a spectacular journey through the life of the four friends and their adventures in the process of getting rich.

Voice-overs of Pandu, Vasu Vikram, M.S. Bhaskar, and Maran render incredible assistance in gluing the viewer to the movie. The mildest of emotions of the animated characters are crafted meticulously and they look effortless onscreen propagating the success of animation in India.

Other strengths
Director Venky Baboo handles the dialogues for his own story. The movie’s plot being a simple moral story, intended for kids, the dialogues are obviously preaching in nature and more often than not strike the right chord. If you had a kid at home, Inime will most certainly provide a delightful movie watching experience. A refreshing change from all the animated and often violent mediocre television programs they indulge themselves into.

Inime runs for 90 minutes and has reportedly consumed a budget of about 4 crores. However, the movie has successfully set a trend for more such ventures in Tamil cinema and could even evoke interest in the upcoming animated-Rajinikanth starrer ‘Sultan - The Warrior” produced by Soundarya, the superstar’s daughter. Afterall, it does get boring to watch real people onscreen at times.
