Asvins

I've certainly seen far worse than "Asvins" in my time. The movie starts out promising, but doesn't really maintain the pace of the opening chapter. Not to say this is bad, I don't mind a slow burn horror that's more story and less jump scares, if it's done correctly, that is. I would say that "Asvins" is a semi-failed project, but succeeds in some places quite well.

For one, the cinematography in some areas is beautiful, in others, it's cheesy. The lighting can be a bit... retro... at times, looking more like a 1970s disco scene than a Hellish nightmare. The acting is solid in some places, but then terribly overdramatic in others. This may be a part of Indian cinema in general, much as Chinese cinema often incorporates theatrical stage play-type work into their movies.

The stand out of this movie for me was the musical score. It was fantastic. It's not often movie scores catch my attention more than the movie proper, but this one certainly did. Ominous and foreboding and well implemented, probably better than what the movie deserved, frankly. I bumped it up to a six on this merit alone.

All in all, of you like slow burners that are more story than horror, you may enjoy this, but don't bring any of your buddies that are expecting "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre".

Sound effect and background music is good. Cinematography is not bad, except the usage of green, pink, violate lights. Acting is at the most average.

Location and venue selection wasn't good, how can you expect a haunted house with a well maintained garden and lawn? Weak and illogical storyline, one statue lost in India, but they need to find both the statues in the UK. Worst possible script writing, in many places incoherent, possibly due to editing. A forced inclusion of the mythological characters of Aswini Kumar duo which could be another Jay and Viru.

It is difficult to sustain the movie beyond the 3rd chapter. The movie has its potential but somehow the film crewmembers succeeded to finish it.

This is a classic example how to spoil good horror story like with over dose of creative ideas. Overall the movies is based on a very good Mythological story. It's the director who executed the idea with no head and tail. 1) No story line - 2) Confused directions 3) worst screenplay 4) Worst Editing

Only good part about the movie is the first 10 minutes , Art, background Music abs cinematography. There are some very good drone shots.

Great team and Great story with worst director = BIG DISASTER!

Don't waste time on this movie by sitting 1 hour 55 minutes. Just watch the first 15-20 minutes of the movie to escape from the mental torture.

Chapter 1: The lore told at the beginning was good. And the entire chapter 1 was in found footage format which was really good and entertaining. 7/10

Chapter 2: This chapter had really beautiful cinematography, but was just people talking. 6/10

Chapter 3: This where the movie starts to get mediocre. Cheap jump scares and the interval twist is very mid. But the sound design and bgm was good. 5/10

Chapter 4 and 5: These chapters made me regret watching this film. It starts to get very bad. The budget takes a real hit and it is clearly visible. The climax sequence was very childish and was like a serial. 2/10

Conclusion: This movie had a lot of scope at the beginning, but mediocre acting, amature dialogues, very bad second half made it forget what it was meant to be. You will be disappointed not because it was a bad movie but because it had a lot of potential and lost it on the way.

It Started of with engaging experience for first 10 mins. Then rest of the movie screen play is too boring to watch. Plot twist of the movie isnt great. Phasmophobia computer game play style at times you get confused what has happened betwen the story. Ghost wearing typical black dress with lenghty hair. Looks like sound download from random sites and attached between the movie. After long time tamil cinemas had a thriller and horror story but they messed up, just went to watch the movie with imdb rating which was 9 after 3 days of release and thats why posting a review so that you can be aware of what you are watching.overall 4.5/10. I would say wait for OTT release to watch this film.
