Ajith’s performance in the courtroom drama has been widely appreciated by fans and critics alike.

Indianexpress.com’s Manoj Kumar R gave Nerkonda Paarvai 3 stars and said that this film is Ajith’s most significant social film.

“Nerkonda Paarvai is a timely film that could significantly contribute to sensitising people to the plight of the victims of sexual violence. When a big star like Ajith says “No means No”, the impact of the punchline on the audience could be immediate and stronger than what Amitabh Bachchan achieved when he said it the first time”, he noted.

Helmed by H Vinoth of Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru fame, Nerkonda Paarvai is Boney Kapoor’s maiden Tamil production venture. Apart from Ajith, the film also stars Shraddha Srinath, Abhirami Venkatachalam and Andrea Tariang in lead roles.

Talking to indianexpress.com about Nerkonda Paarvai, director H Vinoth said, “I always have an urge to tell a story in a different way and remaking a universally-accepted film like Pink was no joke. Everyone worked well together absorbing the characters and portrayed them with conviction. I believe every film has its own destiny. A film isn’t what we make, but what happens. Nerkonda Paarvai should reach a wide spectrum of the audience, not just big cities. Only then, I will consider myself successful. The film is a must-watch for men, in particular.”
