"Inam" is backed by wonderful performances by an almost unfamiliar cast. From Sugandha to Karan to Saritha, Sivan has extracted raw performances from everybody. And the reason the actors are believable in their respective roles is because they are unfamiliar.
Although Sugandha plays the lead and it is through her flashback that we see the film, the real star of the film is Karan, who entertains at regular intervals with his innocent mischief. Karan carries the film on his shoulders and you root for him more than you root for others.
Sivan's striking cinematography makes even remorse moments in the middle of a war-zone, a visual splendour to gaze at. One particular shot that stands out in the entire film is when we see a group of foreigners leaving Sri Lanka in a hurry with a polythene bag full of fish with a dead one floating inside.
