You have to be a little patient to appreciate this film because it's presented in an unorthodox manner. There are only 6 characters and the entire narrative is situated in a house over the course of a few hours; the movie heavily relies on sound effects in order to vivify Hari's stories
THE SET: The majority of the scenes take place at the terrace during nighttime when we could barely see faces due to the electricity going on and off. At first, it was a bit distracting as we wanted to clearly see facial expressions but then we came to understand that the dark setting changed into a court area where attention was directed on Hari (rather than his friends) acting like a judge who spotlighted the rights and wrongs of society and tried people's conduct
ACTING: The entire cast truly crowned the movie with a formidable performance. Vishnu Govindhan took charge as the captain of the ship carrying us along the narrative. Hari was passionate about his work, yet also creepy, pitiful, and entertaining. We loved Anand Manmadhan, he was the man of the day 😊
TAKEAWAY LESSON: Hari's stories were uniquely bizarre inspired by the world around; but to his friends, the tales appeared copied making it an excuse to taunt him. If we can defend Hari for a moment, all scriptwriters draw inspiration from their surroundings, thus, there'll always be a little similarity to other stories. That being said, Hari had his share of responsibility; yes, you're a cinephile but concurrently, find a job to support and respect yourself
SIDE NOTE: The cinematography in the living room and kitchen locations was quite torturing with the great number of still shots. We wanted to see so much but the camera was withholding a lot of details.
