Blink

Directed by a debutant filmmaker, it is a surprising and captivating piece of cinema that takes the audience on a roller-coaster of emotions and suspense. From the very first frame, the film grips you with its intriguing storyline and maintains that momentum until the very end. The screenplay is tight and well-crafted, leaving little room for predictability. Each scene is meticulously designed to keep the viewers guessing, and the twists are not just surprising but also highly satisfying.

The cinematography deserves special mention. The use of light and shadow, along with some innovative camera angles, enhances the mood of the film and adds a layer of depth to the storytelling. The background score complements the suspenseful narrative, adding to the overall immersive experience.

It is a remarkable debut that sets a benchmark and a must-watch thriller for those who enjoy a well-unexpected twists and turns.

Must Watch!! Highly Recommended !

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 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.

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.

I was totally blank about it's concept before doing deep dive into the movie. Initial 45Min was such a painful to watch because we didn't have any clue ; what the hell in going on the screen? The chemistry between the leading couple was also not that exciting in that period of time. BUT in the 2nd Half this movie it turned extremely upside-down. When the actual concept of the movie got revealed at the 50-55Min excitement for this movie came back rapidly. And from that scene it's peaked it's pace and screenplay got interesting. It kept going on until the climax situation came, where we can notice a major loophole, which simply bend our mind! And we felt like WTF was that? And with so much confusions here and there they just ended it aesthetically.

So basically this movie is not for everyone, especially who loves fast paced movie will surely leave this film at the middle part. For a cinephile it will feel like an average movie. And those who watched such concepts before will feel like something is missing in this entire movie! But in my personal view I can assure that if we consider the entire plot and the leading character's act in the climax blended the plot nicely and plot is justified somehow!

Acting performances of all the characters were too good. Music was good as well. Cinematography was brilliant despite a strict budget movie. Editing was well and good except the first half where storyline got dragged in extreme where an average cinema lover will leave his/her attention from the plot.

Good to Go with Family. From my side it will be 6 Out of 10 Stars for it..
