Neruppuda (2017) is a Tamil action thriller directed by B. Ashok Kumar, starring Vikram Prabhu in the lead role. The film revolves around Guru (Vikram Prabhu) and his friends, who aspire to become firefighters and serve society. However, their lives take a drastic turn when they unintentionally get entangled in a murder case involving a powerful gangster. As they struggle to prove their innocence, Guru is forced to take extreme measures to protect his friends and fulfill his dream. The story intensifies with gripping action sequences, emotional drama, and unexpected twists that keep the audience engaged.

The film blends themes of ambition, friendship, and survival, set against the backdrop of a fire brigade. Vikram Prabhu delivers a compelling performance, supported by an ensemble cast, including Nikki Galrani, who plays the female lead. The movie’s music, composed by Sean Roldan, adds to the intensity of the narrative. Though Neruppuda attempts to offer a fresh perspective on firefighting, it follows a familiar action-thriller template. While the film’s action and emotional moments resonate, its predictable storyline and uneven pacing slightly weaken its impact. Nevertheless, Neruppuda remains an engaging watch, especially for fans of Vikram Prabhu and commercial Tamil cinema.
