Nesippaya

What is this trend in Tamil cinema where these trash movies that no one watches are all botted up to a 9.8 with more than 2k votes within just hours of its release?

I mean, I've seen this trend before (Santhanam's Kick, Hansika's Guardian), but those were truly just unfathomably horrible movies, whereas this movie is not even close to being as bad. Now don't get me wrong... This isn't a good movie in any way, and nor is this is an excuse for how poorly this movie was written, or how badly it was executed. But it's just so blatantly shameless when these movies bot their ratings up to near perfection, almost as if they themselves are aware of just how horrible the movie really is.

Speaking of "Nesippaya", there's just one redeeming aspect of it, and that is Kalki Koechlin's screen presence, which did stand out as refreshing in a movie where the acting was always try-hard and exaggerated. It has sparks of a decent premise too, but what good is a premise if it can't be executed well? The movie progresses through incompetence; whether that be of the hero's or the villain's, it's indistinguishable as if they're all sharing a single brain cell throughout the movie. You could think of a million ways in which the movie could end an hour into its runtime if only a single character was competent, or just even not a complete idiot.

The movie is a waste of time, and if you're somehow on this IMDB page, looking at the 9.8 rating and considering if you should go check it out, let me direct you and your hard earned money in the right direction, which is anywhere else but a theater where this movie is playing.
