Every
time any Selvaraghavan’s movie creates eagerness in me and this one created
even more because of the subject that he handled, a second or parallel world,
which always fascinates me. A big thank you and hats off for attempting this
experimental and visionary project, which very few Indian film makers would
even dare to attempt. At the same time, feel sad for him that his experiments
are always not welcomed well at box office.
Coming
to the movie, audience not necessarily need to be entertained just by showing a
different world.. For any good movie, you still need engaging screenplay, which
I felt was missing. May be this could have been a better script when read but
couldn’t quite connect well with the execution on screen. Lead role’s
characterizations are so weak that it did not even linger in your mind for a
while. Movie had only few good moments with lots of dull moments and it did not
had enough love emoting scenes, which all could lead to the box office failure.
I
think arya could not blend well
with Selva’s school of acting, while Anushka did pretty well. My most favourite
is father character (acting and voice) which made an impression even though he
came for short duration.
I
feel Anirudh messed up with his background score, I could hear lot of old Raaja
sir melodies improvised and also could hear similar score from movie ‘3’, which
diverted my attention. Harris’s songs, as usual nothing new to talk about.
Having
said that, I still expect more experimental works from Selva and am sure, he
can pull it off one day.
Verdict:
Daring attempt but not engaging!!
