What an exhilarating experience it was !!! 3 hours and minutes of pure cinematic joy !!! There are so many nuances and layers to this movie, but I will try to capture my raw thoughts into this movie. However, let’s start with a few disclaimers.
Is this a 18+ movie? Yes - Sexual references, language, violence
Is this an out and out YASH movie? - Without any iota of doubt !!!
Is this a movie with good production values? - Good no - Great - Absolutely Yes !!
Yash and Geethu Mohandas have literally unleashed a beast onto us. The movie is fast paced, with some quick cuts, quite a few central characters, loads of action i.e. WORLD CLASS action and moves across different timelines.
Let’s start with the improvements. This is an audience view and I am not an overall expert on all aspects of movie making (though I do have a little expertise one of the points below). The audio could have been lot better. Some places I did feel silence could have worked much more magnificently than the sound. The movie could definitely benefit with a bit of tightening in the 2nd half.
Let’s look at the positives. Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi absolutely rock in their roles. Nayanthara is class apart and really regales in her role. For me, this would be an hallmark movie for Kiara Advani. Rukmini Vasanth was pretty ok, but her character arc could have been a little better. Tara Sutaria - Integral to the story, but nothing major to write home about.
And then there is YASH. The man, the phenom called YASH. He is absolutely style epitome, swag ka king and magnificent in his acting. Though one will draw parallels with KGF, after sometime RAYA stays with you. Until TICKET comes along. And then there is RAYA and TICKET Face-Off.
The final reveal is absolutely MIND BOGGLING. It will definitely remind you of some classics.
Coming to the movie: I find the movie deeply PHILOSOPHICAL. We are shaped by the circumstances of our life. Every single person entering our journey of life leaves a deep impact on us and take a piece of our SOUL when their stop comes. To say more would be to reveal, but this is the underlying theme of the movie.
Lastly, little did I expect that something I quote on a daily basis would be an integral part of movie. CHOICES have consequences or PRICE to pay.
Watch the movie. Make your own judgement.
P.S: Please don’t get influenced by the negative reviews around. Go with an open mind and experience the movie yourself.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE MOVIE !!!
