Film: "Malini 22 Palayamkottai"; Cast: Nithya Menen, A.C Murali, Naresh, Krish J. Sathar, Chandra D. Janagi, Kovai Sarla, Kota Srinivasa Rao and Vidyullekha Raman; Director: Sripriya; Rating: **1/2
Sripriya's "Malini 22 Palayamkottai" is what Jodie Foster's "Accused" was 20 years ago. It's an underrated gem that falters predominantly because of its very slow proceedings and the absence of commercial toppings. Critically raved and celebrated when it was made in Malayalam, the remake fails to leave an impact as the original.
Malini (Nithya), 22, a nurse awaiting her visa to Canada, falls in love with Varun, who deceives her with his charming looks. He moonlights as a pimp for affluent Prakash (Naresh) and has cheated several.
