I must confess, I had low expectations for this film. Remaking a critically acclaimed movie like Andhadhun (2018) is no small feat, and I was sceptical about Prashanth’s ability to carry the lead role, given his long absence from the limelight. However, the film pleasantly surprised me. The screenplay is fantastic, with well-crafted twists. Mangoidiots is delighted to award the film a Ripe rating.
The story centres around Krish, a blind pianist brilliantly portrayed by Prashanth. His love interest, Julie (Priya Anand), fits her role perfectly. The plot thickens when Krish’s path unexpectedly intersects with Simi (Simran) and Manohar (Samuthirakani). What follows is a series of intriguing events that keep the audience engaged.
Simran deserves special praise for her exceptional performance in a challenging role. It was refreshing to see veteran actor Karthik in a small but memorable part. The casting choices for Urvashi, Yogi Babu, and K S Ravikumar were unconventional yet effective. The late Manobala’s appearance as the head constable was a poignant reminder of his talent.
While Santhosh Narayanan’s music didn’t particularly stand out, the background score complemented the narrative well. Setting the entire story in Puducherry proved to be an excellent choice, adding a unique ambience to the film.
The screenplay is the true star of the show, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats with its clever twists. It’s as if the writers took the essence of the original and added their own unique flavour to enhance it. Prashanth’s performance is a revelation, demonstrating that he still possesses the ability to carry a film.
In conclusion, for those seeking a thrilling cinematic experience, this film is certainly worth watching.
