Drawbacks:
Lack of proper explanation about Dejavu concept
Lengthy Scenes
Analysis:
Director Ajay Nag V deserves appreciation for selecting such a different story as his debut film. He showed his ability in handling complex themed stories. The film is based on a Kannada novel but the screenplay has been rewritten dividing the film into several chapters. While some of them raised curiosity, some falls short majorly due to unable to connect emotionally and prolonged scenes with slow pace. While the story is passable, the Dejavu phenomenon draws our attention. The scenes related to the concept could have been crafted more engagingly to captivate viewers and generate curiosity.
Director Ajay Nag impresses with his unique storytelling approach. Music Director Sinjith Yerramilli’s songs are adequate. But, his background score creates interest. The cinematography by Devdeep Gandhi Kundu is impressive capturing colourful locales. The editing by Preetam Gayatri and Aditya T Tiwari could have been better. The production values are topclass and spent lavishly for such a film to get desired quality output.
Rating: 3.25/5
