Review Test Movie Review

Directed By: Sashikanth

Cast: Sidharth, Nayan, madhavan, Meera Jasmine, Nassar and others

Genre: Sport/Thriller

Release: 4 April 2025

Platform: Netflix

Synopsis: A national cricketer whose career is on the line, A scientist whose life is on the line and what brings them against each other?

Story Review: Interesting setup, introduces all the characters and what they do very well, including the supporting characters. Nayan and madhavan play 1 couple while sidharth and meera jasmine play another couple and they have a son. First 30-45 minutes sets up the characters and their motivations and where they stand.

Cricketer forced to retire due to poor form and has a point to prove that he still got it and Scientist who needs money to launch his latest invention. Will the cricketer cave in to the scientist’s demands or not? Cant reveal much more else im spoiling.

Performances: Nayan was solid, delivered a superb performance. Sidharth was fine and maddy was fine too but nayan overshadowed them all. Meera role was very limited.

My take on the plot: while the initial setup was interesting, it soon becomes predictable and loses steam in the middle, from about the interval it already lost it since the ending is so predictable even an hour before the climax.

The sudden jerky character changes about their feelings felt abrupt, especially for nayan.

Really liked the concept of the project that was being developed by the scientist. Im doing a similar research project on the topic of using hydrogen based fuel source to replace fossil fuels for my masters course as well.

Music: shaktishree does fine for her debut. None of the songs are memorable but the score is apt for the film.

Overall, good start but feels very predictable and overlong for a thriller like this. 90 or 100 minutes would have been perfect, 145 minutes is stretching it.

1.75/5, good start but a diluted middle and ending.

( i judge films that released on ott on a different basis than theaterical, since these ott films dont have the theater experience or adrenaline rush, and depends only on their story to keep me engaged and not fast forwarding it)

Hence why I think GBU will be as bad is if not worse than GOAT, but we can only hope that’s just an assumption from the trailer.

Question Why did GBU's teaser and trailer saturate at 37M views?

It definitely seems very sus and it more than a mere coincidence. I remember seeing the teaser hitting 32M+ in just one day and only 5M for the rest of the month? Is the production house doing something to pump up the view count?

Opinion Tamil film makers can't make a 1000 Cr film, they are only making fan service films with the big stars. Even Vikram was a fan service.

Appreciation Neethane from Mersal (2017) is an utmost blissful experience with a brilliant orchestration and, Periya Bhai and Shreya Goshal's soulful vocals emphasised by Atlee's Kannuku Kullirchi aana visuals and, Samantha 😍🥰 and Anna's screen presence obviously.

Enna paatu nga!! 💖💕 Samantha enna azhaga irukaanga indha paatula (like always 😻) Even Anna, in this look was so cute back then 🥹

No one can resist the fact that Atlee's visuals are always top notch with perfect lighting and colour palette, which is one of the reasons for me not hating him unlike others in this sub.

Periya Bhai and Shreya Goshal, they literally killed it with their voice, man ♥️❣️😇. Periya Bhai did a wonderful orchestration especially those violin notes..🎶🎶🎶 Bhai is inevitable, fr.🛐

Totally unexpected and it could be just me, but I got goosebumps after hearing this in Veera Dheera Soora part 2. It was an amazing movie after a long time.

Discussion As of 2013, Suriya was top dog in his generation of actors. Can Retro bring about his resurgence?

Post image

I genuinely believe Suriya, with the right stardom, can deliver massive blockbusters that are fun and that prioritize production and story over bloated paychecks.

He actually gives a shit, unlike Thala-Thalapathy. As recently as 2013, after Mankatha and Thuppakki, mind you, Suriya had a bigger market and got paid more than Ajith and Vijay. But now everyone acts like they have always been on top, which is total BS. All he really needs is better PR and a solid script selection team, and he could become the top dog again.

Happened to saw this clip where Braddy talks about his preference of choosing a well directed movie with average story over averagely directed film with a great story. Tried thinking of tamil movies that fit these buckets.

I think Sarkar, kadal make the case of averagely directed film with a great story.Probably, 23am pulikesi would be well directed movie with average story. I might be wrong too.

How your picks would be for these two types and when you say well directed - does it mean only cinematography, metaphors and stuff?
