Blink

This film deserves some more viewership and has been momentum since March 2024 mostly through word of mouth, so I'm doing my bit, you should check this out *conditions apply.

If you enjoy the "Bro, WHAT is going on?", predicting how things will unfold and getting it right, you should watch this. If you like looking for answers after the movie, you should watch this. Acting was okay I guess, nothing to write home about but - GREAT editing.

I don't think I've seen a whole lot of movies with such a plot in Indian cinema, and from what I'm reading, it's very new to the Kannada audience as well. If you're looking for something unique, this surely fits the bill.

Plot conveniences - you can play along with these, but dealing with plot holes is a pain, especially with the mind-bending genre. Looking for answers may sometimes not help either. The problem with this film though is that there are a lot of questions, and you can't tell if it's a convenience or a hole; parts of Kannada audience is chalking it up to 'bad-writing'. And I think I have to agree....? Dunno, haven't made up my mind yet.

But it's a solid and commendable debut film, not easy to make something like this in India and not get panned.

2014 movie, "Predestination" has similar time travel loop. "Blink" appears to be a simplified version of this. Even then, it is a good effort in Kannada movie, to bring a sci-fi story into life that can be understood easily. I enjoyed it. Happy watching.

PS: Netflix 2017 series "Dark" (my rating 10/10) and Night Shyamalan 2024 movie "Caddo Lake" (my rating 6/10) are other recommendations for sci-fi enthusiasts. "Looper" Bruce Willis 2012 movie (my rating 8/10) is another movie in this genre. Year 2000 movie "Frequency" (my rating 8/10) is another time travel genre movie that you all may like.

This film is an absolute must-watch! With a captivating storyline that diverges from the typical cinematic tropes, it offers a refreshing and unique viewing experience. The plot keeps you engaged from start to finish, weaving together unexpected twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. What truly sets this movie apart, however, is the outstanding performances delivered by every member of the cast. Each actor brings depth and authenticity to their role, immersing the audience in the story's world and creating a truly unforgettable viewing experience. From the protagonist to the supporting characters, every performance is nuanced and compelling, adding layers of complexity to the narrative. Whether you're a fan of drama, suspense, or simply great storytelling, this film delivers on all fronts, making it a standout must-watch for any cinephile.

A well written story keeps you engaged in overall movie, unique way of story telling , convincing screen presence and brilliant screenplay, it is one of the finest sci fi movie ever made in kannada film industry, a round of applause to the director for being brave to deliver his ideas and dedication in screen , every characters are well written and no fillers or unnecessary scenes , Kudos to actor deekshit a potential human for kfi , it's will be a movie for all ages as it entertains all class of audience so anyone can watch the movie with their family and friends overall it's a thrillier package delivered successfully to the audience.

I don't think many people here have the German series Dark. The film Blink borrows liberally from the German series that was both about time travel and travel between universes.

Anyway, about Blink. A decent effort no doubt, but the back ground score!! My God, too loud and jarring. Indian films are slowly learning the value of silence. Obviously, not this one. Literally jumping in my seat with the unexpectedly loud score. Also I didn't feel the interspersing of songs were necessary in a film of this nature. Took away from the tautness of the narrative.

Acting was good and dialogues were passable.

Some continuity issues, could have been addressed with tighter editing.

Hope the team, now a movie old, will do a better job of it during the making of their next.
