Nimir is a 2018 Indian Tamil-language comedy-drama film directed by Priyadarshan.
The movie stars Udhayanidhi Stalin, Namitha Pramod, and P. Samuthirakani in lead roles.
The film serves as a remake of the 2016 Malayalam-language film Maheshinte Prathikaaram, with adjustments made to adapt it for Tamil audiences' cultural preferences.
The central narrative revolves around an incident where Selvam, portrayed by Udhayanidhi Stalin, is beaten up. Following this event, he swears an oath that binds him until his goal is achieved: a vow not to wear slippers again.
The story explores themes stemming directly from this central promise as Selvam navigates towards fulfilling his sworn revenge or goal in a small-town setting where he operates his photography studio.
The film was released on 26 January 2018 and is anchored in the specific circumstances surrounding the incident that triggers his vow, leading to personal development and conflict within the narrative structure.
