Star

I recently watched 'Star,' a Tamil movie that truly impressed me. It tells the compelling story of a common man's journey to stardom in the film industry. The film opens with a poignant scene featuring a young actor playing the role of a revered poet. Despite missing his mustache in his makeup, his father wisely remarks that an actor's body language matters more than any costume or makeup. This profound statement sets the tone for the film's exploration of the essence of acting.

Throughout the movie, particularly after the protagonist's accident, we witness the transformation in his acting. His portrayal skillfully depicts the raw emotions of fear without relying on external props or effects. This underscores the film's message about the power of authentic acting over superficial elements.

'Star' not only showcases the struggles of its characters but also delves deep into the artistry and dedication required to succeed in the competitive world of cinema. It is a testament to the human spirit and the pursuit of dreams against all odds.

Kavin's performance in "Star" shines brightly, capturing the essence of an artist's struggle with a compelling narrative that resonates deeply. Directed by Elan, the film is a poignant portrayal of ambition and resilience, set against the backdrop of the Tamil film industry. Yuvan Shankar Raja's music elevates the emotional core of the story, while Lal's portrayal of a supportive father adds depth to the narrative. The film's surprises and twists keep the audience engaged, culminating in a satisfying climax that leaves a lasting impression. "Star" is a testament to the power of dreams and the unyielding human spirit. Overall, it's a must-watch that scores a solid 5/5.

Star... it's all about the star named Kavin , what a brilliant actor he is , good found for Tamil movie . If not for him this movie would have been more boring . The movie is all about a long struggle a person undergoes to get into movie industry and most of it sounds true . The movie had one more star which made the crowd go excited was none but Yuvan, he sticks to his unique styling of doing music. While most of it sounds heard before types still it was high on energy and gelled well with the storyline . His music definitely sounds different from Arr, Ani and many... direct Dil Ke...The storyline is simple and has shades of many other movies, and to mention again it's Yuvan's music that gave more life to the scenes . The Ghazal song was a bumper . Class. Talking about the cast , they were definitely beautiful , beyond Kavin , Lal made a classic lifetime performance alongside Geetha Kailasam who comes in as Kavin's mom . Most of the times she put up a very realistic performance but at times overdid it too. Preity Mukhundan was seriously charming and putting up all possible cuteness to her character and performance . Impressive . The movie was definitely missing her in the second half and that's when Aditi Sudhir came up with her rocksolid performance ensuring to make people forget the past (Preity 🙂). The movie had lots of references to other super hit movies including the famous song from Pudhupettai which suited more to this Star than the original . Many such things ensured fun and Star movie was all about performances and super entertaining first half , and it happened . The interval block , then the movie went bizarre and it was seriously dragging and at times depressing which was unexpected . Sure , that's where the viewers would have lost interest and started a desperate wait for it to end . Director Elan still tried hard to get the movie on the track with few promising scenes , still couldn't save the drag . Editing and Trimming of the movie length was much desired there . If it had happened , sure Star would have been a Super-Star. Missed. Good for OTT. Overall Star, Dimming.

The hero has everything going for him - a supportive family and two women who passionately love him. His desire to become an actor is dashed by a facial scar, which causes him to retreat into a shell. Does he beat the odds and come out on top? Lal and Kavin deliver outstanding performances as father and son in Tamil #StarMovie. Every young man would want his dad to be like Lal after seeing this film. However, Kavin comes across as an egocentric individual who consciously acts against his own best interests and makes bad judgments that will ultimately hurt him. Running time needs to be reduced by 15 minutes. Rating 3/5.

RATED 6/10 Language: Tamil Source: Amazon prime

The movie has all potential including cast, director, music and nice touch on story, but still failed as a movie. Its very unfortunate to fell short of to orchestrate this great assembling... Totally missed opportunity.

1: They failed to convey the struggling of hero to become star... just roaming around Bombay streets without money not at all add any value 2. Two heroines and both of their love and separation was handled very badly... moving from one pair to another pair is just like tuning one page to another page.... 3. Lot of places you can still feel the serial drama making and cliche dialogs and run off the mill scenes...

The only good point I can see that the connection between first and last scene... it was ultimate. Its really touched and I rated 6 just because of this scene...
