DD Next Level

This film is a masterclass in aimlessness, offering neither compelling storytelling nor so-bad-it's-good charm. The pacing is glacial, the characters are hollow, and any attempts at humor fall painfully flat. Even as a guilty pleasure, it fails; there's no ironic enjoyment to be found, just a numbing sense of boredom.

The director seems to have mistaken meandering for depth, leaving the audience stranded in a cinematic void where nothing of consequence happens. Scenes drag on without payoff, dialogue feels like placeholder text, and the climax (if you can call it that) lands with a shrug. Rip.

#4 in the film series, DD Next Level, excels on every level! One might be tempted to think, here is a movie that will be a pleasant break from the other crime and violence films, and yet DD Next level does include a fair amount of violent scenes. It is a send up of horror and slasher movies, and it also pokes fun of movies in general. It is actually a movie within a movie. Similarities of characters in the real world jumping into a world of fantasy have been utilized in such classics as, The Wizard of Oz, and Tron. The horrific aspects here are done surprisingly well(will satisfy all horror fans), and the comedy never lets up. The entire (large) cast are a joy to watch. Add to that the superb music soundtrack and you have a movie well worth seeing! Comedy films need to be made more frequently, and this one will get the ball rolling. Of note is the ending which is very unusual and may be unique in this genre. The only change one might make is to shorten the running time a little in order to make room for a song and dance number.

DD never misses!!!!!!

Horror elements little bit turned up compared to the previous film in the franchise.

Even though the comedian Santa is the peak, he never got lost in his films as a hero. He never missed the comedic timings in his films even as a hero.

He tried many different slangs in each and every film but he always scores and thats why he is permanently goated.

Comeback of Motta Rajendran after a long time and the legend nailed it.

Look at the effort he put on for a little funny sequence while being 68 years old.

Amazing film. Amazing ensemble. Innovative plot. Peak fun. Full-on entertainment. Wholesome.

Unique film about cinema.

This film has everything for its title to be " The Movie Critic ".

DD Next Level had expectations due to its predecessor, DD Returns. This one has a really good idea and the makers could have done a meta commentary instead of relying on fart jokes. Although the movie isn't boring, it does not have anything to hook you up until the end. Mottai Rajendran's comedy at the climax gives a chuckle in the end of an extremely underwhelming movie. Santhanam's repeated use of the word "Bro" is irritating aswell.

GVM and Selvaraghavan did their parts well. The glamour is borderline vulgar and makes us question whether kids are supposed to watch this 'family entertainer' as well.

Santhanam really needs to choose scripts like DD Returns(although the franchise is now suffering) or even like a one-time watchable film like Vadakkupatti Ramasamy which is quite an experience. Inga Naan Than Kingu is also a decent film, Santhanam could try these type of films.

Another Entertaining movie by Santhanam with funny scenes and counters. The comedy felt natural and came at the right moments, and the characters got along so well that even the silly parts were fun to watch. Movie doesn't lag in any part, gives you unexpected twists. Also the story has a good ending unlike other horror/comedy movies. Aside from the laughs, the story was actually really well done. It didn't feel like just a bunch of jokes thrown together,there was a clear plot that kept me hooked from start to finish. The pacing felt just right, and there were a few small twists that made it even more fun without trying too hard to be smart or complicated. Screen space has been shared equally with all the cast. If you want something light, funny, and with a good story, this one is worth watching.
