Irul

The movie starts and for the first 20 minutes you think this is gonna be a great movie and then thinks start to fall apart.you think it's a thriller,at some point the ambiance of the movie is lost.

Boring movie. From the beginning to the end the movie was very slow and it felt like the writer wants to extend the timing of the movie for no reason. It would be better if they had gone with short film. The story line is so bad and you can predict what will happen. Only the actors did their part well and only because of that i gave 3 stars for 3 of them.

The build up was terrific. But the story and screenplay were horribly confusing and weak. Big disappointment.

Irul is a movie where you sit on the edge of the seat and predict the outcomes. Because the total set and vibes of the movie feels great to begin with. But as it progresses you realise that there are unnecessary drags just to build the anticipation. There come in moments where you feel like 'Ok... Move on now..' There are some cliche peek-a-boo moments in the movie as well.

Though it's been a success in building anticipation... The whole movie does not leave you quite satisfied. This movie could've been turned into something much better.

In yet another tale of what could have been, Irul builds up a superb premise consisting of an intricately woven set of characters in a delightfully macabre setting, only to end in a simplistic fashion that denied the climax the narration deserved.

The film excels in every technical department, especially the exceptional sound design. I was given jolts at many junctures and the depth effects given to the noises of water leaking had me look around to see if in fact some pipes were left open in my own washroom!

But alas, the superb making style and the intense performances of the three leads is undone by a culmination of events that left a lot to be desired.

A one time watch, purely for the classy making and the phenomenal performances. But if you are looking for a truly well-rounded whodunnit, this isn't it.
