Black

The core concept of Coherence with unnecessary songs and too much spoonfeeding after intentionally messing up the narrative because the makers aren't smart enough to actually make it as tight as Coherence. But the middle portion of the movie did feel compelling and keeping it more of a time loop would have worked better with respect to that portion because it clearly also got some inspiration from Timecrimes. It made the atmosphere of a proper horror movie in those portions. However, the unnecessary first act and the confused third act drag the movie down. The very end would've worked more if they had taken a different route in the middle. Nonetheless, it is a nice attempt at making a mind-bending movie within the realm of commercial Tamil films and the compelling middle portion of the movie makes it a worthwhile big screen watch.

Science fiction movies are relatively rare in Indian cinema, so when I find one, I have to give it a try. It's a tricky genre, and just because you have a basic storyline you can't make a feature film if you don't develop that thread-unfortunately, that's the issue here.

The film follows a couple who travel to their newly bought house in a community for a vacation, only to realize they're skipping timelines. Do they try to break the loop and save themselves, or do they remain trapped? That's for the viewers to discover.

The plot is interesting, and you start a guessing game with questions like what, why, and how it's happening to the couple. It takes a while to piece everything together, and the story makes sense up to that point. But once your questions are answered, the explanations are sloppy and unsatisfactory, leaving you disappointed. There are multiple sequences that feel like filler, adding no value and making you question their place in the narrative.

Jiiva does well in the lead, and he still has that charm; he definitely deserves more roles. Priyanka Bhavani Shankar provides solid support as his wife, with an earnest performance. However, the chemistry between them is lacking, largely due to the screenplay.

This film had a good premise but fell short in developing it. The suspense elements work in the movie's favor, making it worth a watch for a change, but don't expect anything extraordinary.

I walked into Black with a bit of hesitation, mostly due to the mixed feedback from friends. Usually, I go into movies with little to no knowledge, relying on one simple metric: "Is it good or bad?" This time, however, I was given a small spoiler that the movie revolves around quantum computing. Strangely, instead of dampening my interest, it piqued my curiosity-even though I know very little about quantum computing myself.

To my surprise, I actually enjoyed it! Black felt like a bold, experimental attempt, with a storytelling style that reminded me of English-language sci-fi movies. Jeeva's natural acting stood out, and the heroine's stoic expressions added a unique layer of intrigue to the plot. There was no over-the-top melodrama-just a realistic portrayal of confusion and curiosity as the characters navigated through the story's twists. The narrative felt like a blend of inspiration from several iconic films (Harry Potter, Interstellar, Back to the Future, Edge of Tomorrow, Premonition, and more), yet it managed to retain its originality.

As the plot's complexity reached its peak, I found myself wondering how the movie would wrap everything up. To my relief, it concluded with a logical and satisfying ending that tied the story together neatly.

This film falls under the Horror and Science Fiction genres, though it serves as a great entry point for those who might be hesitant about traditional horror movies. The elements of suspense and intrigue are enough to scratch the surface of the horror genre without diving too deeply into gore or fear.

Interestingly, this experience reminded me of GOAT, Vijay's movie. I had heard overwhelmingly negative reviews about it, but going in with low expectations actually made me appreciate it more. On the other hand, Ganguva, which I approached with similarly low expectations, left me with a headache and regret by the end.

Overall, Black is worth a watch, especially for those who enjoy movies that challenge conventional storytelling while exploring unique sci-fi concepts. It's a bold attempt that deserves credit for its originality and execution.

Black (2024) isn't just a movie; it's a thrilling journey through time, love, and fate. This film takes us on a rollercoaster as a couple finds themselves trapped in a relentless loop, desperately seeking a way out while wrestling with the question of destiny and choices. Each loop reveals new layers of their past and future, pulling us deeper into their love, fears, and unresolved mysteries.

The direction is exceptional, blending intense emotions with stunning visuals that keep you guessing till the last second. The storytelling grips you, leaving you in awe as it explores the complexities of relationships within the boundless dimensions of time. Every moment is an edge-of-your-seat thrill, balancing suspense with profound emotional moments.

A must-watch for fans of psychological thrillers and time-travel mysteries. Black (2024) is a cinematic experience that lingers long after the credits roll, reminding us that sometimes, love defies even time itself.

Similar experience is unfolded in Stock Market with BankNifty Index forming similar loops & mostly unfolding an Elliott wave triangle.

I've watched this movie, one of the finest in recent days! If you're a sci-fi movie lover, you can definitely check it out. It's a low-budget movie, but the sound effects and visuals feel like those of a high-end horror film. With only two main characters and a few side actors, Jeeva and Priya nail their screen presence. Every scene builds anxiety . Initially, you're unsure what's happening but as the movie progresses, all questions are answered . The climax is brilliantly executed, and the director's decision to film from the audience's POV is a tactical move. This movie deserves an award in Tamil Nadu ; it's a proud moment for Tamil cinema!

Rating: 5/5 Recommendation: Must Watch!
