From the director’s previous outing ‘Devi’ which is a horror-comedy, come up again with a serious horror generation along with a strong social message pined. Lets see how far it ticks the boxes.
Story revolves around an unborn child due to abortion and how that consequences affect in the couple family is Diya
It has more resemblance of ‘Unborn Child’ of hollywood but then its restructured with our regular horror stuffs which we have seen in many movies. Movie start straightaway from the premarital pregnancy and hurried towards the plot so quick even before we get involved in the character.
With just few minutes into the movie, you can easily guess the phase of the movie and what follows rest justifies your guess!
SaiPallavi debut into kollywood has a meaty role to perform and she excels in her part, Naga shourya on the other hand is completely dull! RJ balaji’s comedies as usual worked in few scenes but his track is not gel well as the movie is going in a serious note!
Technically movie is brilliant with the vibrant colours, CG works for horror scenes, BGM altogether elevates the movie. Running time is crisp yet what to be conveyed is done in a swift phase!
Car accident scene is one of the highlight for the movie with camera tricks and also the bgm cover with a soulful music throughout the movie is soothing.
Predictable is the major downside for the movie, so even movie runs for a short time you feel like scenes are getting repeated and stretched long with minimal characters. The relationship between the couple is not much elaborated enough to have our feel towards them when they are in a painful situation.
If director could have inserted few thrill moments and maintain some engaging suspense then it would have become a real suspense thriller yet it delivers a good message indeed!
