Eleven

Eleven is a Tamil-Telugu thriller that roars like a masala-fueled rocket.

Freshman director Lokkesh Ajls, a Sundar C protégé, unleashes a wild ride with ACP Aravind (Naveen Chandra) chasing a twisted serial killer torching twins in Vizag's gritty streets. It's got Se7en's dark pulse but with a spicy South Indian kick.

Chandra is a total boss, his steely cop vibe oozing intensity... think brooding hero with a badge. Shashank and Abhirami bring solid backup, but Reyaa Hari's heroine feels like a soggy dosa, undercooked and out of place.

Lokkesh's direction pops with neon-soaked visuals, and Karthik Ashokan's cinematography makes Vizag a moody, menacing star. D. Imman's score slaps, though some tracks are louder than a Diwali cracker.

The first half rockets with slick chases and chilling kills, but the middle stalls with a draggy love track and overdone flashbacks that sap the buzz. Clocking in at 136 minutes, it could've shed 15 for max impact. The climax, though, is a firecracker, delivering a twist that's juicy, if a bit guessable.

Eleven's a bold, bumpy banger-perfect for thriller junkies. 7.5/10.

Many scenes with abhirami were unnecessary. The suspense was phenomenal and there were many times when i raised my eyebrows in shock, but the story was presented very casually and felt flawed. The start of the film was too fast as well. There were many things which didnt make sense as the movie progressed and the actors couldve been better. Personally this movie had great potential to become a critically acclaimed masterpiece but the unnecessary fight scenes, or abhirami (whom i think is a horrible actor) fan girling the lead was crazy stupid and poorly presented. The ending itself was weird because it gave the audience two different opinions in the start and enf of the movie. Also the depiction of the police force is done stupidly.

Eleven has a genuinely sparky core idea, especially with its twists in the latter half. However, the film ultimately settles for average due to its amateurish filmmaking and the equally unpolished performances from many of its new faces.

Upon reflection, the movie is riddled with logical inconsistencies. For instance, it's baffling why the police force, keeping aside the protagonist, don't consider searching for CCTV footage of a distinctive car operating in Chennai. Furthermore, the main character inexplicably overlooks two crucial names (Anjana and Dheeran) that coincidentally appear before him, only to later seek them out at their old school. These kinds of plot holes are abundant.

Despite these flaws, the lead actor delivers a decent performance. Eleven had the potential to be a good thriller in the hands of a more skilled filmmaker. Considering that, it might be worth a watch if you're willing to overlook its shortcomings.

This is a good thriller movie to watch. It might have been inspired by a true case that took place in karaikal Tamilnadu where an envious mother named Smt J Victoria poisoned a class 8 student named Shri Balamanikandan because her daughter was not able to come first in the class. She killed a bright student without even thinking once about his parent.

Eleven is a solid crime thriller that crime fans will appreciate. The first half of the movie moves a bit slowly, but it's not boring-it carefully builds up the characters and atmosphere. The pacing picks up in the second half, making the story more intense and engaging.

The twist near the climax is somewhat predictable, but it still works well and fits naturally with the story. The ending gives a satisfying conclusion to the plot.

Overall, I found Eleven to be an above-average film. It's not groundbreaking, but it's a well-made thriller that balances suspense and storytelling effectively. Definitely worth watching if you enjoy crime thrillers with steady build-up and a clear resolution.
