Hitler Movie Review

Vijay Antony’s Hitler is a political thriller, directed by Dhana with Riya Suman playing the female lead and Saran Raj as the antagonist.

The minister of the Tamil Dravidian Community Party, Saran Raj, finds himself embroiled in a corruption scandal that jeopardises his chances in the upcoming election. He vows, “I will win the election by any means necessary,” and begins to arrange the necessary funds. However, during the transfer of this money, it is stolen, and his associates are mysteriously murdered. An unofficial investigator, Gautam Vasudev Menon, steps in to probe the situation. Meanwhile, Vijay Antony, who has come to Chennai in search of work, becomes entangled in this web of events. The narrative of the film “Hitler” revolves around whether the police is able to curb down the murders and and unravel the motives behind the killings are.

Right from the beginning of the film, we are deeply question on the significance of the title and its correlation with the premise. Moreover, the plot revolving around Vijay Antony and the irrelevant romantic portions

The relationship between the title of the film and its narrative has posed a challenge for Vijay Antony, who is also questioning the connection between himself and the romantic scenes. The way he tries to be Super Cool Chirpy Romantic Boy is irksome, and its a million dollar question on why he had to go with such shades, which is not suitable for him. The chemistry between him and Riya Suman, who is presented as the quintessential heroine of Tamil cinema, does not seem to function effectively. Gautam Vasudev Menon, portraying a police commissioner, delivers a rather average performance, blending both English and Tamil in a somewhat unconventional manner. After a considerable hiatus, Saran Raj emerges as a blend of villains reminiscent of the commercial Tamil cinema of the 1980s. The comedic efforts of Redin Kingsley also serve as a test of sorts.
Additionally, Vivek Prasanna, Tamil, and Aadhukalam Naren make their appearances, and try to do what is offered to them.

The songs serve as a significant pace-setter. Cinematographer Naveen Kumar has delivered a precise visual representation for a commercial film. The initial scenes featuring women being swept away by floodwaters are exceptionally crafted. Nonetheless, it would have been preferable to place the flashback sequence, which reveals everything in advance, later in the narrative. Murali G has skillfully choreographed the action sequences.

Overall, Vijay Antony’s Hilter shines visually, but fails to get hold of our attention with its fallible narrative.
