Antakshari

Movie is worth watching, performances are commendable and the movie never feels slow or boring in any way. Although the movie is good there are still some loose ends at the end, there was more than one subplots which was not fully ended. Still overall the movie is worth watching.

To be very frank I was not aware of this movie. Was casually surfing over different OTT platforms. Started watching expecting a comedy movie but it was classic thriller. Really a good work. Must watch.

Even when some subplots and character arcs fail to add up substantially, Antakshari is a neat little thriller that pits a super-ordinary cop against a psychotic murderer. Writer-director Vipin Das utilizes the central thread (that of a cop who loves playing the titular singing game) to notable effect in crucial scenes. The killer's character is well-etched, and his childhood portions are performed with believable flair. I'm not sure if Vipin decided to leave certain ends deliberately loose or whether he thought the extended run-time would have hampered the thrills. Still, if there's a longer director's cut that offers closure to some of its supporting characters, I'd be happy to see it. Good work on the background score too!

Many charecters in the movie who doesnt contribute to the Storyline! Only God knows how they are connected to the story.. On the whole very average Plot!

Anthakshari is a new take on the cat and mouse game of cop and culprit. As the name suggests, the lead played by Saiju Kurup is a cop who favours the singing game of Anthakshari over hard punches on his criminals. An unexpected murder attempt on his family guides him to an unknown serial killer at his work over decades.

Quite compelling, very engaging at times, this is a good script made well but suffers from mediocre camera quality, sound design, and even the sets that reminds of an amateur film production.

This film deserved a better budget.
