Lacklustre Philosophical Mess / 3 Stars

[nairtejas · 3/10 · 12 July 2020]

Musical Chair starts out well with a story about a middle-aged man (Vipin Atley) who has a constant fear of death but is not ready to change his unhealthy lifestyle that mainly involves anxiety-induced smoking, alcohol consumption, and non-vegetarianism. Some of this has to do with trauma and Atley takes the story forward well until philosophy enters the plot. Mildly anti-religious and often straying into aimless storytelling, it then becomes tedious to follow the sequences which look like stitched pieces shot at random. Cast performance is not great either that is only shadowed by the poor production setup and an overall cloud of effortlessness. Atley has previously given us at least two cool products but this one here is a terrible miss. Musical Chair, at the end, somehow reminded me of Trance (2020), Ee. Ma. Yau (2018), and Shavam (2015). TN.

Why fear of death haunts most of us!

Vipin Atley is back after his movies Homely meals and Ben. This time he portrayed the story of a writer who is haunted by bad dream of his death and his journey to find the reason for death. Musical clearly tried to depicts the meaning of life and death throughout the story. Vipin has handled most of the departments in this film such as songs, lyrics, script, music, bgm, story, and direction similar to his previous movies. He conveyed his thoughts about life, religion and most importantly death. The background score of Musical chair is really haunting one and it helped in supporting the context of the story. Musical chair has its artistic approach though lacks cinematic experience for majority of audiences due to the poor casting and technical aspects. The climax shots of the film is extraordinary. Vipin is one of the best talented director and writer in malayalam who has his own way of story telling and film making.

Excellent
