24 movie review :
Sci fiction Time travel movie in Indian Style.
Plot: A tale of twin brothers one plays the agonist and other being the antagonist.
It is surya show all the way. Everyone says surya has done triple roles but no one noticed he has done 4 characters. Scientist Sethuraman, Young age energetic Villian Athreya, Paralyzed old aged Athreya and Youthful Subramani. He has differentiated all the four characters with ease.
Plus:
1. Surya vs surya
2. Brilliant Screenplay
3. Rich production values
4. Excellent cinematography
Minus:
1. Lengthy movie
2. Unwanted song placements
3. Over dose of surya - Samantha romance.
If you compare this movie with 1 yr back released time travel movie Indru Netru Naalai by Vishnu Vishal is far better than 24.
Big plus is the screenplay where the director Vikram Kumar scores by keeping twists and turns in the flow of narration. The Director has kept connectivity to each and every scene. For example the acid spillage by which the Villian is affected both the times.
The scene were surya freezes time for first time and plays with the rain dew drops shows the extraordinary creative thinking of the director and mind blowing CG & VFX Works.
At the same time the director fails in a scene were last ball of the cricket match is to be bold that time still the audience are entering the stadium with tickets.
Interval block shows the sheer brilliance of the antagonist character.
Opening episode is like a Hollywood flick.
Nithya menon & Samantha have done there roles neatly. Saranya ponnvannan as usual scores in the step mother character.
Sathyan comedy is good in bits and pieces.
A.R.Rahman music is good but not the best.
Naan Un azhaginilae song was picturized in beautiful exotic locations.
The Climax could have been much more better.
Final verdict : One of the best time travel movies with a brilliant screenplay worth watching.
Rating 3.5/5
