Review : Farhana – Thrills decently | 123telugu.com

Actress Aishwarya Rajesh is back with another female-centric film, titled Farhana. Directed by Nelson Venkatesan, the movie has released today. Let’s see how the film is.

Story :

Farhana (Aishwarya Rajesh), a pious Muslim woman, takes up a job to support her family financially. She first joins a call centre and in no time, shifts to another department, where she develops an emotional bond with an unknown caller and eventually reveals her true identity to him. She is eager to meet him in real life. What happens next? Did Farhana meet him? Did she face any problems? Who is the mysterious caller and what is his intentions? Will Farhana be safe? The movie answers all these questions.

Plus Points :

In the last five months, actress Aishwarya Rajesh has acted in five different films, and Farhana is one of them. In this movie, she delivers her finest performance as Farhana, a responsible wife and a caring mother. One can’t imagine any other actress in the role because she has played the character with such ease. Women can easily relate to her character.

The director, Nelson Venkatesan, takes a realistic point and narrates it in a neat manner. He didn’t create any unnecessary drama by simply sticking to the main plot.

Actor-director Selvaraghavan did a wonderful job. The director maintains suspense even in the second hour by not revealing his face. He appears for a limited time on screen, but creates an impact with his dialogues.

Some of the dialogues are thought-provoking, thanks to the dialogue writers Manushyaputhiran, Nelson Venkatesan, and Shankar Dass. Jithan Ramesh, Kitty, and others justified their respective roles.

Minus Points :

The story is good, but the screenwriters Nelson Venkatesan, Sankar Dass, and Ranjith Ravindran could have run the show much better by writing an engaging screenplay.

Some of the scenes make one feel bored because of the unnecessary lag created. The same has been continued in the second half, which needs to be racy to make the film a better fare.

The director should have taken better care of the climax portion. One should wait for how Farhana would tackle the man who disturbed her mentally. One should expect a better climax and a good message. Moreover, a crisp runtime could have helped the movie big time.

Technical Aspects :

The director succeeds in telling the point in an effective manner, but the film’s fate would have been better if he concentrated more on writing an engaging screenplay.

The score by Justin Prabhakaran intensifies the scenes and thus the mood. He deserves to be appreciated for his wonderful work. Gokul Benoy as DOP is fine, and VJ Sabu Joseph should have trimmed off some unnecessary scenes in both the halves.

Production values are rich, and you can witness them on the big screen. The Telugu dubbing for Aishwarya Rajesh and Selvaraghavan sounds quite good.

Verdict :

On the whole, Farhana is a decent thriller that takes a realistic approach. Aishwarya Rajesh’s character and her performance are the movie’s strengths. Although there are a few unnecessary scenes in both the halves, you can give this film a watch this weekend.
