    Not A Boring Movie...

    Another Entertaining movie by Santhanam with funny scenes and counters. The comedy felt natural and came at the right moments, and the characters got along so well that even the silly parts were fun to watch. Movie doesn't lag in any part, gives you unexpected twists. Also the story has a good ending unlike other horror/comedy movies. Aside from the laughs, the story was actually really well done. It didn't feel like just a bunch of jokes thrown together,there was a clear plot that kept me hooked from start to finish. The pacing felt just right, and there were a few small twists that made it even more fun without trying too hard to be smart or complicated. Screen space has been shared equally with all the cast. If you want something light, funny, and with a good story, this one is worth watching.

    Spoiled Movie

    Even the makers of this film would rate it 1/10 after watching it. Tye storyline seems to be inspired from a 2 year old child folk. Acting is pathetic. One guy keeps saying 'Bro' 4 times in every dialogue which is irritating. Non sense story and acting. The writer and the director seems to be from high school.

    You'll find a random YouTube documentary amd some random YouTube horror story better than this film. One should not have the courage to release these kind of films in theatre. Instagram reels and YouTube shorts have betyer contente than this film for real.

    Appealing the makers please withdraw this film.

    Horror comedy genere

    Devil's Double Next Level is a horror film with a different concept movie. Scenes featuring Motta Rajendran and the co-actors make us laugh and keep us engaged throughout. The film blends horror and humor in a unique way that adds to the overall entertainment. Watching it without any expectations allows you to enjoy the fun and surprises it offers. It's not the usual horror movie and stands out for its comic timing and performances, especially by Rajendran and for the team. DDnext level is a light-hearted horror film worth a casual watch with friends or family for a fun weekend escape from routine.

    Excellent idea, poor execution

    DD Next Level" is the fourth film in the "Dhilluku Dhuddu" franchise, which started in 2016. It's a horror-comedy, and I was happy to see a franchise film in Kollywood. In Hollywood, there are many franchises in every genre, but in Indian cinema, there are only a few and not all of them are great.

    Now, about DD Next Level the biggest positive is the unique idea behind the film. It's actually a concept that doesn't usually fit with comedy, but in this case, it somehow worked naturally. The idea and the genre were clearly delivered to the audience. The film managed to hook viewers in the first 10 minutes, which is very important, especially for horror films. Actually, this applies to all films. The overall visual look of the film was also good. The writer tried different things to keep the audience engaged in new ways. But aside from that, I didn't find many other positives.

    The concept was excellent and fresh for the horror genre. As I mentioned, it grabbed the audience's attention early on. But after the first 10 minutes, the film started to fall apart. I even felt tired after a while. One of the biggest positives in a good film is its characters. But here, none of the characters were well written not even the main hero. They tried to make him unique, but it didn't connect and felt very forced.

    It's a horror-comedy, but you won't feel any horror throughout the film. There are a few small funny moments, but overall, the comedy also didn't work. The movie used many references to other films, and they all felt forced they didn't fit naturally. The writer also reused some old scenes from the earlier films in the franchise, but they didn't work either.

    There were many unnecessary glamour scenes, and I felt the female characters were included just for that purpose. Their roles had no real importance in the story. One more personal opinion: the director cast two legendary Indian directors in this film, but completely misused them. I felt bad they were literally used as joke characters.

    Overall, I didn't like the film. There's some violence, so if you're watching it with kids, make sure to follow parental guidance.
