StoryLine:
As Lakshmi learns to accept the setbacks and begins a new chapter in her life, her daughter, Thara goes missing. She embarks on a journey in search of her daughter and comes across four strangers.
Throughout the film I was wondering what might have led director Althaf Rahman to create Neeli, a haphazard horror comedy that goes nowhere with its somersaulting script and ends without answering the chief questions that would make it at least fathomable. The entire thing is a joke where Mamta Mohandas’s character goes back to her ancestral home to live a better life away from her philandering and sadist husband (Neeraj Madhav) but ends up ruining it further after her kid goes missing. Enter Anoop Menon whose spirit hunter character with his silly contraptions tries and fails at comedy while also adding the little sexism that the film boasts of.
