Puri Jagannadh did something which was way ahead of its time with this film- he made a film that was written by AI since no human can write such a trite story. If someone asks you to give an example of an illogical film, you can point him to this film without any iota of doubt. This film is centred around the film industry itself, and that is where its cleverness ends. It is nothing but a bunch of random scenes put together with very thin connective tissue around it. In every next scene, it jumps to a different topic, and then quickly forgets it in the next one. The film comments on the various issues inside the film industry but those are fleeting because the film itself doesn't remember about them after the end of that scene. There is a subplot of the protagonist's mom suffering from a terminal illness, and it's sidelined as quickly as you throw your napkin after using it, and is given a similar level of respect too. It's a film directed by Puri Jagannadh, and his films can't be made without a generous dose of misogyny, and this film is no exception. It's exactly the kind of film that is stupid but thinks of itself as a clever one. The narration has no coherence, the characters are inconsistent, the plot is terrible and the direction is as competent as its plot. NENINTHE is a senseless and lifeless movie with a stupid plot, extremely convenient and corny writing, a tiring pace and tedious runtime.
