    A mirror to the societal underbelly!!

    Take a bow sir !!! Plot: 10/10 Takes up a issue related to pornographic voyeurism and presents it with a ting of thriller. Protagonist Arvind ,who is played by Jayaprakash Radhakrishnan who is also director and writer for the film, gets a unknown friend request from a person who makes some interesting demands and story unfolds thereafter with captivating and precise speed. Takes full mark for implicit social commentary. Acting:5/20 Acting is average nothing special to talk about. But it feels descent not too shabby. Cinematography etc: There has not been much scope for anything else as movie is little bit precise in its focus and limited. Still whole atmosphere is not hard to look at. Audience: It shows a mirror to current societal norms and private practices regarding sexuality around internet pornography and that image is not pretty. I am sure many people will hang their faces in shame after watching this. By that standard I thing film is a success of getting the point across audience and move them emotionally and retrospect. I recommend that people should watch this film and you will not be disappointed (only if you are not looking for some light romcom movie to chill. Even then do watch this movie some other time).

    A brilliant to the point thriller that makes your daily living questionable

    LENS is the most daring movie in Tamil you might see in years to come which exposes something you cannot explain but it gets into your nerves and makes you cringe and feel uncomfortable.... A pure thriller (gets into your spine) on voyeurism and so boldly portrayed with just 4 characters and 2 rooms. Jayaprakash Radhakrishnan has done a brilliant job and has joined some amazing debutante directors who have bloody impressed in their scripts.. DO NOT WATCH IF U FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE about this topic

    Only in India such great movies are madding after modiji coming inside India. This movie teached how in today world private of peoples uploading in internet and how family falling destroyed. Very good movie about couples video uploading on internet destroyed their family life for all time. People watching video but not knowing that how unhappy this became of peoples everybody watching. It give historic messaging how today all careful chatting on internet because dont know who is the person secret talking with us. After some days black mailed and telling give money. Every Indian watch this good movie.

    An Admonition to Privacy Intruders

    Disclaimer: Lens is a film intended for mature audiences and is not suitable for kids.

    Lens (2016) is a drama-mystery-thriller film which was written and directed by Jayaprakash Radhakrishnan. He also plays one of the main characters in the film.

    The film deals with the subject of privacy intrusion very seriously. Aravind, a married man, is a voyeur and addicted to porn videos. One day a stranger comes into his webchat and says he wants Aravind to watch his death live. Why he wants him to see his death and his past makes the crux of the story. The emotions which we feel after watching the film will be unique based on our personality, tastes and past experiences. Some may feel regret. Some may feel sadness. I'm sure it will be unique for each of us. The film helps us realize our personality in the virtual world and shows the aftermath of a crime, which we casually dismiss as harmless, while committing.

    The film is directed brilliantly and has a well-crafted script. The background music and cinematography keeps us engaged throughout the runtime of the film. All actors have done justice to their respective roles. Hope films with such strong content won't go unnoticed in the future.

    Bleak tale of virtual voyeurism

    Lens is a solid psychological thriller which delves into the cynical and twisted realm of human nature. It can be termed as a modern parable for the contemporary tech-savvy generation. It poses some seriously profound questions.

    Being a compelling allegory about privacy intrusion, it works on various levels. The screenplay is razor-sharp and doesn't even afford you to blink. Acting is splendid. The direction is marvellous. What makes this movie so exciting and relevant is the important issues it arises. The film deals with the themes of Privacy encroachment, voyeurism, retaliation, moral deviance, ethical dissipation etc. And while addressing these issues, the film never feels preachy.

    It is an excellent tale about the inherent demons in all of us. Today everybody sequesters his/her inner demons with everyone but that doesn't mean that that demon has perished. It still exists deep inside you waiting for a sound chance to come out. Isolating yourself from the real world and submerging into the virtual world is never going to help. It even intensifies the trouble.

    The story is about the very same innate fiend and what happens if it unleashes.

    Overall, a compelling thriller which should be watched by everyone because it carries a very ingenious and heartfelt life lesson. Superb!!!
