Plot:
We have all seen thrilling short
films in some of the famous television programs. This movie is all about
combining it together with synopsis and conclusion. The movie
introduces us to the story with the well known controversial topic,
“Does ghost exists and do you believe it?” This conversation happens
when three good friends happen to meet their school time friend who has
turned into a millionaire. He dares his friends to prove him that ghost
exist. The rest of the story speaks about the ways they tried to prove
it and hurdles they met on their pursuit. (Do ghost exist? Did they
prove it? We leave it to the viewers)
Cast Performance:
Cast is no new to us. Our well known
“kalakapovathu yaru” star, “Gokulnath” has given a good debut
performance as a hero. But the problem arises when the viewers realize
that the movie is a horror movie and lack of additional zest in some of
the most important sequences leads to disappointment. Meghna needs to
buckle with acting. Bala Saravannan, one our promising artists has given
his best at all the opportunities given to him. Bobby Simha, who has
created his own stardom by his remarkable performance in Jigardhana,
gets applauses, the moment his appears in the film. It is little
disappointment to the Bobby Simha for he has been utilized as a guest
performer. On the whole the cast could have been reshuffled to bring out
the fear factor through acting.
Technical Aspects:
Music: Since the story is just a
chronology of five different ghost incidents in various parts of the
globe, it requires good background music to give the thrilling feel.
Kudos to the director for opting out songs off the music as it would
have pushed this movie further down the ranking order. Viewers have seen
best thrillers in past and unfortunately the music is not effective
enough to give the thrilling feeling to the viewers.
Cinematography:
A horror movie per say at least needs
a better cinematography push. The movie once again disappoints the
viewers by such a bad cinematography while they had multiple chances to
showcase it.
Graphics: Viewers might have got
frighten even when by the expression by sheer words in amarchitra katha
rather than in this movie.
What Worked?
The story though just a
choronological arrangement of various horror stories,yet it is strong
enough to terrify the people (though the film failed to handle it
right). Mandhikuzhi sequence and Yesiana sequence were so different and
appreciable.
Verdict: When
people have been shocked just by using a torch light, this movie could
have done it better when it had five different horrorfying stories to
say. People might get more horrified by the closing card which says,
“Aaah Thodarum (to be continued)”.
Rating: 2/5
