Except for Punith's Last movie, nothing else is good in this Outdated Sleep Fest
14 May 2022
Everything is Outdated in this movie. Story is Outdated, Screenplay and the twists are even more Outdated and the treatment of the story is Outdated Max Pro.

From Sarathkumar to Priya Anand it's a field outed actors galore.

Mukesh Rishi delivers a Cringe worthy over the top performance. Unexpected from him.

Sarathkumar as the main Villain. He must be in a severe financial crisis to take up a role like this. He did noting except standing till the end of the movie and let his stunt double take the beating in the end. The guy just got paid for simply standing. Seems he forgot how to play a Villain since it's been almost 3 decades he last played as a proper Villain. Probably he thought no one outside Karnataka is going to watch this.

The move is so predictable, at some point you will get bored of predicting and prefer sleeping instead.

They wanted to recreate a couple of Action pieces from Sherlock Holmes and Wanted but ended up looking like kids playing with Diwali guns.

They could've used Body doubles and some angles to bring Punith back for the patchwork. Instead they used CG which looked like a cardboard cutout with blank expression with only his mouth moving. Even reface app will do a better job.

Finally, a big salute for Shiva Rajkumar, who perfectly dubbed for his brother.

Punith's last movie was supposed to be an epic one but sadly the only way it'll be remembered is as his last movie.
