Naslen and Mathew shine in 'Neymar', but it's the canine star that steals the show

Neymar, the debut film by Sudhi Maddison, featuring Naslen, Mathew and the canine star 'Neymar', is a thrilling entertainer. Despite moments of emotional intensity, it transcends the typical human-animal emotional drama to create a vibrant energy that keeps the audience engaged throughout.

The plot of the movie centres around the dynamic between two close friends, Kunjava (portrayed by Mathew) and Sinto (portrayed by Naslen), both ardent football fans, and how their lives take an unexpected turn when Neymar comes into their lives. While the plot of Neymar is straightforward and predictable, the film manages to captivate the audience with its unique execution. Neymar takes a unique approach compared to the usual heartwarming stories about the special bond between humans and their pets. Rather than focusing on the positive aspects, the movie delves into the consequences that arise when a dog causes trouble. However, the film does so in a humorous and lighthearted manner.

In the first half of the movie, the audience is introduced to Kunjava, Sinto, and their families, and how Neymar, the mischievous yet understanding dog, enters their lives, leaving an impact on each of them. The movie establishes the premise of their lives and the influence of Neymar. Director Sudhi Maddison's ability to capture Neymar's mannerisms is truly impressive. Throughout the movie, Neymar follows commands seamlessly, creating a natural and authentic on-screen presence. The result is a portrayal that is so convincing, it's as if the dog is unaware of the camera's presence.

Thirimali Movie review: Meandering through the path to nowhere

The initial half of the movie concludes on an emotive climax, leaving a lingering question for the latter half. It's in the latter part that the film undergoes a remarkable transformation, presenting Neymar in an entirely different backdrop that is nothing short of captivating. Viewers are bound to root for Neymar ardently throughout the second half.

When it comes to performances, Mathew and Naslen deliver outstanding acting throughout the film. The audience will undoubtedly connect with Naslen's character, who is portrayed as a loyal and sincere friend to Mathew's character. Moreover, Vijayaraghavan and Shammi Thilakan's bittersweet relationship is another highlight of the film. Their scenes with Johny Antony are remarkable. Yog Japee's performance is decent, although his character doesn't offer anything particularly outstanding to the audience. However, it is Neymar who steals the show. The dog's performance in the movie is so effortless, capturing even the smallest nuances and details. Neymar's portrayal is so impressive that he becomes the sole focus of attention in almost all the scenes he appears in.

Despite the brilliant acting performances and nuanced shots, there are instances where certain scenes in Neymar may come across as overly dramatic, seemingly added solely for emotional value. This is particularly evident in some of the climax sequences. Additionally, towards the end, the movie may feel a bit prolonged, but this does not detract significantly from the overall viewing experience.  Sudhi Neymar strikes a perfect balance between feel-good and entertainment, thanks to Sudhi Maddison's commendable efforts.

The film is a testament to the fact that animal-based movies can be well-made and engaging. Maddison has expertly woven shots that leave the audience awestruck. While dog enthusiasts will undoubtedly appreciate this movie, it has something for everyone to relish. The film's blend of comedy, entertainment, and emotion makes it a must-watch for those seeking a cinematic experience that delivers it all.

Neymar (born February 5, 1992, Mogi das Cruzes , Brazil) is a Brazilian football (soccer) player who is one of the most prolific scorers in his country’s storied football history.

Neymar began playing football as a boy in São Vicente , under the guidance of his father, a former professional footballer who remained a close adviser and mentor throughout his son’s career. Having played street and indoor five-a-side football, Neymar joined Portuguesa Santista’s youth team in São Vicente, and in 2003 he and his family moved to Santos . There Neymar, who was already an impressive player, joined the youth academy of Santos FC (the same club for which Brazilian football legend Pelé starred over the majority of his domestic career). At age 14 he had a successful trial with Spain’s Real Madrid , and Santos had to increase its spending to retain him.

Neymar—a slender-framed 5-foot 9-inch (1.75-metre) forward—was supremely confident on the field, with excellent body control, quick reflexes, and explosive speed. He made his first team debut with Santos in 2009. While playing with Santos, he averaged a goal every other match and helped the team win the Libertadores Cup (the most prestigious South American club competition) in 2011. Neymar’s many individual honours with Santos included the South American Footballer of the Year title in 2011 and 2012.

In June 2013 Neymar signed a five-year contract with FC Barcelona after a trade with Santos in exchange for €57 million (about $76 million), one of the most expensive soccer transfers in history. Two years later he helped Barcelona capture the “treble” of a La Liga championship, a Copa del Rey title, and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Champions League title. While Neymar was instrumental in Barcelona’s success from 2013 to 2017, totaling 105 goals in 186 games with the club across all competitions, he longed to get out of the shadow of teammate Lionel Messi , one of the greatest players in football history. As a result, in August 2017 he engineered a departure to the French club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) for a then record €222 million ($263 million) transfer fee. The move also made Neymar the highest-paid player in the world at the time, with a €45 million ($53 million) annual salary. PSG also signed Kylian Mbappé in August 2017. Neymar appeared in just 30 matches during his first season with PSG, scoring 28 goals for the club before breaking a bone in his right foot, though PSG powered to the Ligue 1 title in the 2017–18 season as well as in 2018–19 and 2019–20. In 2021—the same year that Messi signed with PSG—Neymar agreed to a contract extension that committed him to PSG until 2025. Neymar, Mbappé, and Messi became one of the most formidable front lines in all of football.

Internationally, Neymar was considered for the Brazilian side that participated in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa , but he was ultimately not included on the squad. Instead, he made his debut for the national team in August 2010, in a friendly match against the U.S., where he scored his first international goal in Brazil’s 2–0 win. He scored four goals for Brazil at the 2013 Confederations Cup, including one in the team’s 3–0 victory over Spain in the final, and won the Golden Ball as the tournament’s most valuable player as well as the Bronze Boot as its third highest scorer. Neymar starred for Brazil when his home country hosted the 2014 World Cup, scoring four goals in five games before he was knocked out of the competition with a fractured vertebra in the quarterfinals. Without the team’s most important player, Brazil lost by a shocking 7–1 margin to eventual-champion Germany in the semifinals. Despite his early exit from the tournament, Neymar won the Bronze Boot. At the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Olympic Games , he led the Brazilian men’s side to its first Olympic gold medal, scoring the winning penalty in extra time of the final match against Germany.

Neymar scored two goals at the 2018 World Cup but was as well-known for his many theatrical embellishments of fouls during that tournament (Neymar was the most-fouled player in the event) as for his on-field play. Brazil’s World Cup appearance ended with a quarterfinal loss to Belgium. During the 2022 World Cup , Neymar suffered an ankle injury and was forced to miss several games. In the quarterfinal match against Croatia, he scored his 77th international goal. However, Brazil lost in a penalty shootout.

Off field, Neymar experienced legal troubles. In 2012 a Brazilian court ordered him and his father to pay substantial back taxes from 2007 to 2008. An appeal was denied in 2016, and that year a Brazilian court additionally found Neymar guilty of having falsified documents in order to avoid paying taxes on income received in 2011–13. The player and his father were also called into Spanish court after an investment fund that had sponsored him alleged that it had been defrauded during his 2013 transfer to Barcelona.
