Blue Star

Bluestar is anything but a sports movie .

It hectors its way into cinematic oblivion with the most convenient and abjectly superficial treatment of subaltern vs the elite , rendering it a caste color where there is none.

This tendency has been a calling card of direcotr Pa Ranjit who seems to resort to easy tropes to justify his hatred for some based on caste . So the old fashioned casteism of the director oozes forth through the movie through a festering sore .

He scratches every shadow and plumbs every pit of his Periyarist casteist mind to find justification for discrimination based on caste .

Patently avoidable bilge.

I saw this film today and initially I felt that maybe this film was another caste discrimination film but was pleasantly surprised about the way the caste differences were depicted. The humor elements are judiciously spread throughout the length of the film ensuring that the audience is hooked to storyline. The character who portrays Ashok Selvan's brother in the movie, has done a very commendable job and his performance was very memorable. Shantanu plays second fiddle to Ashok Selvan but has shown enough promise for people to expect him to play a solo hero role sometime in the future.

This will surely be a landmark film for Ashok Selvan as it is his first with his wife starring opposite him as the heroine.

Finally got around to watching this film after all the hype. This socio-political movie, disguised (not in a bad way) as a sports drama was well done. I'd much rather watch films like these than the ones that get too preachy and hung up on the messaging.

Sports dramas can get too dramatic, it wasn't the case with this one. The cricket portions of the film didn't feel forced. Everybody body who acted well, except the coach. Felt like he over acted. It's OK to make the bad guy really loud to make the good guy look extra good, but that's just the easy way out. The comedy parts were...OK. I'm not a fan of 'this has to have something for everyone' type films because it changes the intensity of the film a little too much, and I felt that happen with this film as well. But that's just me. Was it bad? Not at all.

The music was....interesting. All sorts of genres, mostly Rock for background music and the buildup scenes. Some of the shots, the wide angle ones of the trains in the background, were GOOD! Overall, the film could have ended up being real preachy, but wasn't. I'll gladly watch this over Kaala/Kabali/Maamannan. That said, it should have been a GREAT movie, but wasn't. Despite the predicable plot, it was GOOD movie nevertheless and I'd totally recommend that you check it out, at least for Ashok Selvan and choices he's been making lately. What a great 1-2 years has he had!!

From name to climax Blue Particular political background Hero name -Ranjith Background ideology -all communal base.

Don't know why nowadays these people spoiling cinema field on communal base.. Everywhere using code..

All creating unnecessary contraversis obviously.

I don't know what they are trying to say in this story by keeping nonsense in the backyard..

Everyone should ignore these kind of movies Then only good production and genuine family movie will be directed.

Came out of theatre with disappointment where the film industry is heading towards.

If the same continues majority of people will stop coming to theatre..

Well executed movie with decent political agenda and love, family, friendship, nativity and humanity above all. More than all of those, a well taken message is be calm and do what's needed.

Cinematogaphy topnotch.. acting a1.. especially Ashok, Prithvi and of course Shanthanu Would have avoided too much dark tone and hatred speech. Added little more comedy.

Villain was not strong but this storyline doesn't need that. It's an emotion and everyone carried that well except couple characters. Few characters like Venkat which also mentioned that they will change and join this revolution. But they didn't till end.

Overall good movie for sports or cricket fan.
