There are always two kind of films Good films & Bad films. Its doesnt matter if its a short , docu or a feature. It also doesnt matter if its commerical or Art. I watched Hari's singam and Juan Antonio Bardem's the death of a cyclist at the same day within a space of 8 hours. The death of a cyclist is a key film in spanish film making history as it had a story that worked for me on several layers. Each and every cinema must have a great setup in the first five minutes and a dramatic ending according to syd field, the GOD in screenplays. Death of a cyclist exactly had the same combined with an excellent multi layered script and inspiring performances specially from the female lead. The unexpected suspense happens once everything gets solved. The beauty of this film in its last twenty minutes. Do watch it if you have a copy or download one. Dont even try buying one, you cant find it. :(
Coming to singam, Like all Hari films its built around 50 characters with one big band of villians. This is Suirya at his best. Suirya is the numero Uno in my book. He does everything comfortably well. It's pure commercialism with interesting scenes. Leave alone the editing and Music and cinematography the film looks like a decent outing. It also proves that no matter whatever the content is , It also doesnt matter if its beleivable or not, a good packing will work at the box office.
I watched Life in a metro recently for the upteenth time, still i am falling in love with the film even though one part of it is lifted from the Hollywood classic The Apartment. All the characters have done
a wonderful job and made the performances look effortless.
