Blurr

One of the best films I have seen recently! Engaging plot from the word go. A true psychological thriller. Superb acting by Taapsee Pannu! Abhilash Thapliyal - kahan the bhai! Superb acting! Great sound design and cinematography too. Director Ajay Bahl has shown his magic once again. Love the content and the context! A film for the intelligent viewer with many subtexts which an amateur viewer can easily miss. Don't go by the ratings .. watch and decide for yourself! Looks like some people got paid to give lower ratings. Or perhaps they genuinely don't have taste for good cinema. Only they know! Lol!

Tell me, what should be the sole purpose of a thriller? To deliver 'thrills' right? Let me assure you, 'Blurr' has served its purpose just fine! If you consider yourself a fan of this particular genre, then rest assured, you're going to have plenty to enjoy.

Despite its flaws (which are strictly numbered BTW), as well as the fact that it's a Bollywood retelling of a well-known Spanish thriller (Julia's Eyes); I believe this would still appeal to a much wider set of audience just because of how neat and tidy the whole execution comes to be.

Be it the stunning picturization, or the minutely detailed background score; the technical sides are indeed remarkable. The story is borrowed, yes, but the creators still had the responsibility to safeguard the actual essence of the original screenplay, which they did. Albeit the pacing to me seemed a bit off at certain places, tighter editing might have yielded better results in my opinion.

*** Blurr Hindi Movie Review ***

Directed by Ajay Bahl starring Taapsee Panu, Gulshan Devaiah in lead role. The film is an official remake of the Spanish film "Julia's eyes. The movie directly premiered on Zee 5 platform on 9th December 2022.

Plot of the Movie.

Taapse Panu playing dual role of Gayathri and Gautami wherein both of them have progressive vision loss.

One morning it's been found that Gautami committed suicide & Gayathri very hard to accept the fact & she is on the quest to know the truth behind her sister's murder.

Observations of the Movie.

1) Taapsee as the lead role wherein more than gautami the deceased, character of Gayathri had the screen presence & she enacted it well.

2) Gulshan Devaiah done a decent performance.

3) Those who haven't seen the original, Blurr takes you through the thrill moment where viewers will have a question as what is the mystery behind it.

4) But still, when the movie reaches completes its 1 hour, the screenplay is too efficient enough to provide us the predictability.

Overall, a decent thriller watchable movie.

Its super rare to see a remake which is as good or should I say even better than the original. Taapsee has done a fabulous job. Its not easy to act with your face covered with bandages for the most part. You have to emote with the rest of the body and Taapsee has done an incredible job with that. Abhilash Thapliyal is a revelation. Writer/ director Ajay Bahl is known to bring out the best in his actors (Ref-BA Pass and Section 375), and he's done just that in this film too. Truly a director's film, supported by good cinematography and sound design. If you have an appetite for Psychological thrillers, this one is a must watch.

It's an amazing attempt to create a thriller which keeps you engage till the ending. Amazing performances by all the actors. It's a 'Do watch' film. Tapsee is no less than any hero and Abhilash did a terrific job to terrify throughout the movie. I don't know why people give 8 rating to a medium film and 5 to a film like this. Please watch the movie if you want to see good performances along with a gripping storyline. The film will amaze you in Many ways. It will engage you till the end. Best wishes to Tapsee and team. Please give us performances like this no matter what! Best wishes to all the actors.
