Despite the identifiable characters on screen, director Nelson’s story-telling comes across as amateurish thanks to the perfunctory twists and turns with which he steers the three stories forward. The relationships showcased on screen are honest and human, but the screenplay needs more muscle to make it an engaging watch. The comfortably contrived third-act which comes up with a bevy of twists is certainly a let down.Though Oru Naal Koothu is not a great drama, it is sufficient enough to make you care and invest in its characters for a fair part of the running time.
