Never tried concept told in a compelling story

[rfseshu · 10/10 · 23 March 2024]

From a stereotypical protagonists trying to prove his mettle as a worthy investigator, the movie slowly picks pace into a much more serious subject. Identifying the origins of evil in the world is always a conundrum. Every storytelling revolves around exemplifying characteristics of good and general benevolence. Very few stories try to get you into the genesis of where evil began and how it persists. Covert, secretive bloodlines seem to have multi generational persistence to revive their satanic deities into existence. We hear those blood lines in existence in the western world with an intention to dominate the world. But the movie boldly takes existing lore, legends in the religion to a contemporary happenstance.

The production house seems still young and the movie is done on shoestring budget. I think with more resources they can make a much more compelling sequel. Kudos to all in the team.

Long Short film

[best-review · 4/10 · 2 March 2024]

This Telugu mystery movie presents a compelling plot at its core, yet it is significantly undermined by a multitude of shortcomings in its execution. The screenplay lacks sophistication, resulting in a plot that feels disjointed and fails to fully engage the audience. The dialogue comes across as frivolous, detracting from the film's attempt to build suspense and intrigue. Direction is notably subpar, reflecting a lack of finesse and undermining the storytelling. Furthermore, the production values fall below expectations, indicating constraints that likely impacted the film's overall aesthetic and quality.

The musical score fails to complement the narrative, adding another layer of disappointment to the viewing experience. Additionally, the movie suffers greatly from inferior dubbing and editing, which disrupt the flow and coherence of the story. Performances by the cast are mediocre, hovering around average, but they are not enough to salvage the film's numerous flaws. Overall, the movie's promising premise is let down by its execution, leaving much to be desired in terms of cinematic quality and viewer satisfaction.
