Blue Star

"Blue star" is a usual cricket based drama but seems different by its staging, set-up and conflicts. The first half of the movie is is very engaging with intersting conflicts between 2 local teams. The interval block was good enough, but the second turns out to be a usual cricket drama where the protagonist's team joins a tournament and competing against the ultimate antagonist in the finals. Ashok Selvan has been the main pillar of the movie. His performance was too good. Shanthanu gave a good performance for the character with some flaws in writing. Bhagavan perumal and prithvi who played the characters of Immanuel and Sam gave interesting and suprise performances. Govindh vasantha's 1 song was good and the background score was very good. Cinematography was not great but good enough. Positives are the performances of lead actors, character conflicts in the first half/the entire first half and mainly the dialogues. Negatives are the second half where there is no seriousness in the games after the first match and started to feel repetitive, and the Romance portions were started to feel unwanted after some time. 2nd half fails to speak the politics effectively that have been spoken in first half. On a whole, this a good movie with some flaws.

Lots of thinks have to change in this movie First heroin portion irritating, seems like serial not movie, old and not interesting screen play, regular flow of movie. Length climax, my mind thought when this movie going to finish, mudiyala, shyam portion good. Better luck next time to the director. I think Editor slept during movie editing. Music is nice. Cinematography is fine. All actors done good except that heroin. Lots of cuts needed. Finally This is not movie it is serial. Lots of thinks have to change in this movie First heroin portion irritating, seems like serial not movie, old and not interesting screen play, regular flow of movie. Length climax, my mind thought when this movie going to finish, mudiyala, shyam portion good. Better luck next time to the director.

Bluestar is anything but a sports movie .

It hectors its way into cinematic oblivion with the most convenient and abjectly superficial treatment of subaltern vs the elite , rendering it a caste color where there is none.

This tendency has been a calling card of direcotr Pa Ranjit who seems to resort to easy tropes to justify his hatred for some based on caste . So the old fashioned casteism of the director oozes forth through the movie through a festering sore .

He scratches every shadow and plumbs every pit of his Periyarist casteist mind to find justification for discrimination based on caste .

Patently avoidable bilge.

Even though this film is about the game of cricket from the outside, it really tells a lot of things that go beyond the game of cricket for me.

Unlike other films that I have seen, in these films, the heroine is given an important role.

It's amazing to be able to come up with such a beautiful film on such a shoestring budget.

It has been made in a way that even the simpleton can easily understand. So everyone who comes out after watching this movie will have the above thought that this movie is a great movie and will be a great time source without any doubt.

All the cricketers in this film have performed very well.

I saw this film today and initially I felt that maybe this film was another caste discrimination film but was pleasantly surprised about the way the caste differences were depicted. The humor elements are judiciously spread throughout the length of the film ensuring that the audience is hooked to storyline. The character who portrays Ashok Selvan's brother in the movie, has done a very commendable job and his performance was very memorable. Shantanu plays second fiddle to Ashok Selvan but has shown enough promise for people to expect him to play a solo hero role sometime in the future.

This will surely be a landmark film for Ashok Selvan as it is his first with his wife starring opposite him as the heroine.
