Half an hour into Jeethu Joseph’s Neru, almost all the cards are on the table, unlike the filmmaker’s previous outings. We know the accused, and the court proceedings have started. No groundbreaking reveal happens in the two hours that follow, as we have come to expect in his films. After establishing the background, Jeethu, who co-wrote the script with Santhi Mayadevi (who has also acted in the film), starts the court proceedings, which take up much of the runtime. After the forgettable 12th Man and the passable Drishyam 2, Jeethu has found his mojo in Neru.
