Dejavu Movie Review: Dejavu, a crime thriller fails to live up to expectations
A author (Achyuth Kumar) witnesses all his fictional crime writings occurring in actual life. Whereas he tries to complain to the police that the criminals in the actual incidents are threatening him, the police shoo him away dismissing it as a drunkard’s babble. That very night time, the author writes a narrative a couple of kidnapped woman, and the following day, the DGP’s daughter (Smruthi Venkat) will get kidnapped. As the author is held and saved captive, Arulnithi seems as particular undercover cop Vikram Kumar, to deal with the kidnapping case. The author predicts each continuing within the case in his writings as Vikram Kumar begins his investigation. Who is that this author, what’s the dejavu second right here and what secrets and techniques does Arulnithi unravel in his investigation? What begins off as an intriguing episode of a author showing on the police station with a singular grievance, does not reside as much as the expectations until the tip. The movie loses steam because it progresses and makes us surprise in regards to the logical loopholes it conveniently skipped in direction of the tip.
Director Arvindh Srinivasan’s Dejavu has an excellent motive on the core, nevertheless it fails miserably in packing every part into a wise screenplay. In the direction of the tip, we’re made to really feel that the characters with good intentions weren’t confronted with any challenges in any respect and so, the play they stage turns into a bit insensible and takes the viewers as a right in lots of cases. Each crime thriller wants a convincing climax, the place the ultimate reveal resurrects the entire movie, however right here, it tries actually too exhausting to fulfill the viewers and the hassle appears pretentious.
Arulnithi’s efficiency is nice and he has given what the position calls for. Madhoo, who performs the position of DGP, tries to carry the movie in some locations. The movie units the fitting temper right here and there, because of its technical elements, like cinematography and music, by Ghibran, whose background rating is highly effective and intriguing.
Arulnithi’s effort to attempt one thing ingenious is laudable, however Dejavu is definitely not a movie you may expertise greater than as soon as.
