Black

The core concept of Coherence with unnecessary songs and too much spoonfeeding after intentionally messing up the narrative because the makers aren't smart enough to actually make it as tight as Coherence. But the middle portion of the movie did feel compelling and keeping it more of a time loop would have worked better with respect to that portion because it clearly also got some inspiration from Timecrimes. It made the atmosphere of a proper horror movie in those portions. However, the unnecessary first act and the confused third act drag the movie down. The very end would've worked more if they had taken a different route in the middle. Nonetheless, it is a nice attempt at making a mind-bending movie within the realm of commercial Tamil films and the compelling middle portion of the movie makes it a worthwhile big screen watch.

I walked into Black with a bit of hesitation, mostly due to the mixed feedback from friends. Usually, I go into movies with little to no knowledge, relying on one simple metric: "Is it good or bad?" This time, however, I was given a small spoiler that the movie revolves around quantum computing. Strangely, instead of dampening my interest, it piqued my curiosity-even though I know very little about quantum computing myself.

To my surprise, I actually enjoyed it! Black felt like a bold, experimental attempt, with a storytelling style that reminded me of English-language sci-fi movies. Jeeva's natural acting stood out, and the heroine's stoic expressions added a unique layer of intrigue to the plot. There was no over-the-top melodrama-just a realistic portrayal of confusion and curiosity as the characters navigated through the story's twists. The narrative felt like a blend of inspiration from several iconic films (Harry Potter, Interstellar, Back to the Future, Edge of Tomorrow, Premonition, and more), yet it managed to retain its originality.

As the plot's complexity reached its peak, I found myself wondering how the movie would wrap everything up. To my relief, it concluded with a logical and satisfying ending that tied the story together neatly.

This film falls under the Horror and Science Fiction genres, though it serves as a great entry point for those who might be hesitant about traditional horror movies. The elements of suspense and intrigue are enough to scratch the surface of the horror genre without diving too deeply into gore or fear.

Interestingly, this experience reminded me of GOAT, Vijay's movie. I had heard overwhelmingly negative reviews about it, but going in with low expectations actually made me appreciate it more. On the other hand, Ganguva, which I approached with similarly low expectations, left me with a headache and regret by the end.

Overall, Black is worth a watch, especially for those who enjoy movies that challenge conventional storytelling while exploring unique sci-fi concepts. It's a bold attempt that deserves credit for its originality and execution.

I've watched this movie, one of the finest in recent days! If you're a sci-fi movie lover, you can definitely check it out. It's a low-budget movie, but the sound effects and visuals feel like those of a high-end horror film. With only two main characters and a few side actors, Jeeva and Priya nail their screen presence. Every scene builds anxiety . Initially, you're unsure what's happening but as the movie progresses, all questions are answered . The climax is brilliantly executed, and the director's decision to film from the audience's POV is a tactical move. This movie deserves an award in Tamil Nadu ; it's a proud moment for Tamil cinema!

Rating: 5/5 Recommendation: Must Watch!

Movie started off with a great start but ended up not hitting the mark with unnecessary sub plots that failed to align with the main plot.

Whatever that was missed in the plot was made up with the acting of both actors, Jeeva and Priya. Both played their roles well especially the character of Jeeva as he struggles to understand the confusion and mystery of his surroundings.

That being said, credit has to be given to production team that filled the set with the theme of mystery in the crucial parts. This gave the opportunity for editing to turn put better and honestly, even though the movie could have been better, it is still worth a watch if you are into mystery movies.

This film takes us on a rollercoaster as a couple finds themselves trapped in a relentless loop, desperately seeking a way out while wrestling with the question of destiny and choices.
