I thought I had found one of the worst movies of the year-until I stumbled upon this. The fact that I watched it and am now reviewing it is the biggest award this movie has achieved.
A failed aspiring junior artist and stunt double loses hope in his life. He meets a girl, only to lose her, but then meets her again on her wedding day, realizing they have a connection from the past.
Does the plot sound absurd? Yes, because it is as absurd as it can get. It feels like they made a bunch of songs and then connected them with a few nonsensical scenes. A man in his 50s behaving like a youngster-which seems to be a trend in the film industry-was cringe at best. Forget logic; there was no story or screenplay to even attempt to find logic in. There is a legit scene where Prabhu Deva is falling from a bridge and makes a call in the time it takes for him to hit the water. Now you know what I'm trying to say. The movie just ends abruptly, as if the makers forgot to write anything after a song.
If Prabhu Deva dances well, then the makers should have just made a dance album, not a movie. His acting chops aren't even worth reviewing because they don't matter in this flick. Vedhika is decent and matches steps with him, but their chemistry is more like that of a brother and sister, summing up the awkwardness you have to endure on screen. A truckload of supporting cast members from the Malayalam industry also make fools of themselves.
Every 5 to 10 minutes, the movie breaks into a song. If the album had been good, I might have tolerated this somehow. But all the songs are bad, with poor lyrics, music that sounds copied, and choreography that looks like any stage performance Prabhu Deva would do. They even brought in Sunny Leone for a cameo in a song and plastered her on the poster as if she were the third lead. The action sequences feel like practice net sessions-highly amateurish and laughable. The comedy track is nothing but a headache, and you won't even crack a smile.
This headache-inducing torture runs for two hours-save yourself from it.
