Directed by debutant Rajesh K Raman, Neeraja is a well-intentioned movie with many layers. It delves into the physical needs of Neeraja, a widow played by Shruthi Ramachandran.
Neeraja loses her husband Alex (Govind Padmasoorya) in an accident after which she lives alone. Two years on, she still lives alone in denial mode about her husband’s death.
Srinda’s role could have been given more importance rather than showing her as a nagging housewife. Sachin Shankar Mannath’s music plays an important role in the movie.
Neeraja is a good attempt to showcase the problems faced by women, especially widows. It takes a brave stand by becoming vocal about the sexual needs of a widow.
