This Malaysian Tamil or Indian-based movie is currently airing in Malaysian cinemas. Despite the lack of support from viewers, this movie is actually doing quite well. The promotional team even gave out free tickets to promote the movie in Kuantan.
Let’s review this movie. It features classic actors such as Irfan
Zaini and Loga Varman, along with the newly debuted TikTok
influencer Marie Dashani Matthews. A few other well-known actors also
make cameo appearances.
Good
- This movie has a few twists that keep the storyline moving. However, there are so many twists that it can become confusing at times.
- The final twist, who was murdered is the best but it ended quickly. If you didn't focus, you might miss that part. That's how quick it is.
- The estate setting looks amazingly beautiful and gives the movie a classic atmosphere.
- The movie is quite thrilling. However, it would have been more interesting if there had been some fight scenes, a stronger villain appearance, or something similar. The story mainly focuses on investigation, but it is still enjoyable.
Bad
- Actors such as Irfan and Dashani
are good-looking, but can they really act? At times, their performances
rely too much on passive facial expressions rather than strong emotional
delivery.
- The dialogue in Malaysian movies is
still quite formal and does not always match the scenes. Do Malaysians
really speak this formally in real life? This is especially noticeable in
the unnecessary love story, where Janani (Dashani) tries to stop Irfan, the
hero, from arresting her fiancé. Was this dialogue and stopping scene
really necessary?
- The unwanted love story does not
really contribute much to the development of the main storyline and does
not feel properly built into the scenes.
- There are also some religious
scenes and a grandfather scene that do not seem to match Malaysian Indian
sentiments. In my opinion, these scenes could simply have been avoided
because they feel unnecessary.
- The grandfather scenes are
particularly confusing. Is the movie trying to portray or question family
bonding? I’m not really sure what the intention was.
Can you
watch this movie in the theatre? Yes, you can.
Apart from the
religious elements, what appears to be a possible "love jihad" theme,
and the confusing grandfather scenes, the movie is still worth watching in the
theatre.
The
investigation and twists keep the movie moving, while the beautiful estate
setting adds a classic atmosphere. Although there are several confusing
elements and some unnecessary scenes, the movie is still entertaining enough
for a theatre experience.
