“Noodles was noodles! Donu0026#39;t know the reason for this particular title and it was quite unclear whether we were watching a thriller or a drama.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe chain of events was not coherent that we wondered about the thought process behind this film…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDELICIOUSu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e-On one end, the film admonished citizens to know their rights and respectfully resist police intimidation; On another end, we understood that the police, constantly being subjected to public humiliation, needed to preserve their image by reinforcing poweru003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e-Madhan Dakshinamoorthy carried the show all the way! He was the police officer you didnu0026#39;t wanna mess with as heu0026#39;d do anything to make your life miserable😄u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBLANDu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e-As much as we were happy to see Harish and Sheela together, they sadly didnu0026#39;t deliver.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThey were not comfortable with each other, looking quite timid. Moreover, during the turbulent moments of the scenario, Sheela was simply gazing at Harish without genuinely feeling disturbed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHarish maintained the same momentum, we didnu0026#39;t see agony coming from within. He just stood tall and showed a bit of concernu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e-As there was no parallel narrative, it was repetitive to keep on seeing the same faces and set location.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePlus, the dialogues were rather plain instead of inspiring. Themes werenu0026#39;t explored in depth.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003e-After the intermission, the pace just became stagnant with a prolonged back-and-forth between Saravanan and the police officers…u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNoodles appeared like an experiment as it was Madhan Kumaru0026#39;s directorial debut, kinda of a way to test the waters before engaging in more projects😕”
