Soppana Sundari Movie Review: A quirky dark comedy that’s engaging in parts

Soppana Sundari Film Evaluate: Making an attempt a darkish comedy is not any cakewalk, because it requires placing the right stability between humour and darkness. Though Aishwarya Rajesh’s Soppana Sundari tries to create some attention-grabbing but quirky conditions and moments that purpose to create laughter, there’s one thing that stops us from totally immersing ourselves on the planet we witness. With more practical writing, this movie might have been among the finest in Aishwarya’s profession.

The movie opens with Agalya (Aishwarya Rajesh), a woman from an economically deprived household, profitable a automobile price Rs 10 lakh in a fortunate draw. She is survived by an aged father, mom (Deepa), and a mute sister (Lakshmi Priyaa). Nonetheless, bother ensues when Agalya’s brother (Karunakaran), who has been estranged from the household, claims to be the precise winner of the fortunate draw.

As Agalya contemplates methods to cope with her egocentric brother and a lustful inspector dealing with the case, her mute sister Thenmozhi drops one other bombshell. She informs Agalya that there’s a lifeless physique contained in the trunk of the automobile.

The remainder of the story centres round how Agalya tackles this complicated state of affairs and will get out of this mess regardless of all of the monetary points.

Top-of-the-line issues about watching an Aishwarya Rajesh movie is her easy efficiency that makes us sit via it, regardless of its flaws. Be it The Nice Indian Kitchen or any of her earlier movies, she suits completely within the roles and makes them fairly plausible. That mentioned, Soppana Sundari comes throughout as a movie that aspires to be an attention-grabbing darkish comedy, however will get barely distracted because the movie progresses.

Whereas the humour within the climactic and pre-interval parts works to a sure extent, some probably attention-grabbing moments fall flat more often than not. There’s pointless lingering in a few scenes to incite laughter, which turns into fairly evident within the second half. Nonetheless, the scene by which Agalya’s mother reveals her plan to beat their monetary disaster is sort of humorous. It turns into much more attention-grabbing when her two daughters welcome her determination.

Regardless of a couple of shortcomings, it is price noting that the performances of the complete solid are strong. They’ve delivered their finest with the fabric supplied to them. Though Lakshmi Priya Chandramouli has restricted display screen time, she has completed justice to the character. The concept is de facto nice, particularly when the complete battle facilities round a automobile that has come via a fortunate draw, offering ample scope for enjoyable. Nonetheless, the writing is barely inconsistent and will have been significantly better.

The technical facets of the movie, although, elevate sure sequences right here and there. The background rating barely resembles the OST of Pa Ranjith’s Madras. However, it helps to raise the humour. Soppana Sundari is sort of an honest try, however it lacks punch to make us fall in love with it.
