Review of Daruvu

Daruvu (2012)
1/10
Truly appalling
1 June 2013
Well this review is going to be difficult to write. Just how does one expand two simple words into at least ten lines? Okay I admit I have not been able to watch the whole film as I had to give up about 30 minutes from the end - yes it really is that painful. From about the fifth minute onwards it was quite clear that this was going to be an awful experience and the next 30 minutes pretty much confirmed it. After that it was a toss up as to how much longer one's fortitude could last. I am staggered that I managed as much of the film as I did. Just how does this sort of rubbish get made? Are there people really that desperate for some tax write offs or something? Are there people actually desperate enough to watch it?

I really don't even know where to start with this painful excuse for a film, but I guess we could talk about the man who directed it - Siva. On the evidence here, to describe him as a talentless hack would be to seriously overstate the situation. I don't think I have ever seen such appalling direction. I still have no idea what he was trying to achieve but whatever it was he failed miserably.

But special mention must be made of the screenplay: a more incoherent pile of tripe would be impossible to imagine. It is said that if you sat 1,000 chimpanzees in front of 1,000 computers and gave them 1,000 years, they would write a Shakespearean masterpiece. Using that analogy, this was quite clearly written by one chimpanzee locked in a room for 10 minutes using a pencil and some paper. As for the dialogue - it might as well have been in chimpanzee for at least then it might have had some novelty value.

Seriously, this film has absolutely no redeeming value at all. At the time of writing 22 people have rated this film a 10. I am staggered that anyone, not even the director, could possibly give this fetid piece of tripe anything even close to a five. I honestly say this would be in my worst 10 films of all time.

Utter garbage, watching sewage would have more entertainment value than this. Makes Going Overboard look like a masterpiece... If you value your life, avoid this at all costs.
