Eleven

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.

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 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.

Watched the Tamil film Eleven and walked away with mixed feelings.

To start with the strengths, the movie is gripping from the midpoint till the end. The narrative unfolds one twist after another, pulling the viewer deeper into the story. Abirami's storytelling stands out, structured, immersive and paced well. The hero, with his stoic expressions, fits the role perfectly and adds to the film's serious tone.

However, the first half is very slow. It could have been fastened a bit. No, not just a bit, a lot. The pacing drags and tests patience before the story picks up momentum. While suspense exists, it does not allow the viewer to play detective. The plot twist comes not with shock but with an air of detachment. The heroine's portrayal was a letdown. Her performance felt like theatre rather than cinema. There was emotional weight in the voice, possibly dubbed, but the acting lacked conviction and polish.

What resonates deeply is the emotional exploration of childhood trauma and its lifelong echoes. The school day flashbacks touch a universal nerve. While no one would ever condone the killer's actions, the film invites empathy, not justification, for how a disturbed mind is shaped.

Eleven may not be perfect but it attempts to probe the fragile line between pain and violence. Despite its flaws, it is engaging and thought provoking. It is a family watch that sparks reflection and discussion.

First went a little bit slow with the crime investigation and all. But later it made me think it's not that normal crime thriller movie. It's all about "******", this single word would spoil the whole movie. If you are a person watching this movie without any spoilers it's worth the watch. Music and cinematography are good. This movie made me think it has a lottt of logic mistake but those are not really logic mistakes later everything will be explained in very well 🔥 and those are the lead to the movies. Strongly recommending this movie to the people those who love Thriller genre movies in Tamil.
