Black

This movie is about an interesting concept, like the multiverse or black hole theory. First of all, congratulations to the director and the whole team for their effort. The movie stars Jeeva and Priya Bhavani Shankar, and both did a great job in their roles. Music director Sam CS also did a good job with the music.

The best part of the movie is the writing. It's not easy to come up with and execute such a complex idea, but they did it well. Even though it's not a big-budget movie, the story is well thought out and written. The first hour focuses on setting up the story, giving hints about what's to come, and adding details. The movie moves slowly and is fully driven by the story. Before the climax, the film explains why everything is happening, and it's easy to understand and connect the theories to some scenes.

The downside of the movie is the ending. Until the climax, the writing was strong, but the climax felt rushed, and the ending was confusing. Other than that, the director and team did justice to the idea.

I personally liked the movie. If you enjoy films with unique concepts like this, you will like it, at least until the ending. It's a good movie to watch with your family.

Science fiction movies are relatively rare in Indian cinema, so when I find one, I have to give it a try. It's a tricky genre, and just because you have a basic storyline you can't make a feature film if you don't develop that thread-unfortunately, that's the issue here.

The film follows a couple who travel to their newly bought house in a community for a vacation, only to realize they're skipping timelines. Do they try to break the loop and save themselves, or do they remain trapped? That's for the viewers to discover.

The plot is interesting, and you start a guessing game with questions like what, why, and how it's happening to the couple. It takes a while to piece everything together, and the story makes sense up to that point. But once your questions are answered, the explanations are sloppy and unsatisfactory, leaving you disappointed. There are multiple sequences that feel like filler, adding no value and making you question their place in the narrative.

Jiiva does well in the lead, and he still has that charm; he definitely deserves more roles. Priyanka Bhavani Shankar provides solid support as his wife, with an earnest performance. However, the chemistry between them is lacking, largely due to the screenplay.

This film had a good premise but fell short in developing it. The suspense elements work in the movie's favor, making it worth a watch for a change, but don't expect anything extraordinary.

Good execution. Last 50 mins is the strongest segment of the movie.

Too many sequences spent to establish the theory behind the strange events, also in its completion by reverse tracking.

A Clean screenwriting just serves for a foolproof establishment and development of events, no serious effort is actually needed to know what's happening.

The setting of the story is very realistic and true to certain basic factors like the actual time period and follow up of events within.

This is a completely script driven movie and is fully engrossed into it's world, and does not depend on any additional effort by its actors and only demands a lot from the technicians, especially the editor of the movie.

In Overall, this movie is for a casual outing in theaters or ott.

Black (2024) isn't just a movie; it's a thrilling journey through time, love, and fate. 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. Each loop reveals new layers of their past and future, pulling us deeper into their love, fears, and unresolved mysteries.

The direction is exceptional, blending intense emotions with stunning visuals that keep you guessing till the last second. The storytelling grips you, leaving you in awe as it explores the complexities of relationships within the boundless dimensions of time. Every moment is an edge-of-your-seat thrill, balancing suspense with profound emotional moments.

A must-watch for fans of psychological thrillers and time-travel mysteries. Black (2024) is a cinematic experience that lingers long after the credits roll, reminding us that sometimes, love defies even time itself.

Similar experience is unfolded in Stock Market with BankNifty Index forming similar loops & mostly unfolding an Elliott wave triangle.

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.
