Shadow

I know this review is way too late. Watched it to kill time while being at home amidst this pandemic and this movie is absolutely the worst. The so-called style which the director, Meher Ramesh had in his previous movies has degraded and with this movie it reached the bottom. If Kantri is a bit stylish, Billa was his most stylish movie. With Shakti, it went down a level and with this movie it has been buried 10ft under. I'm glad that he has not made a movie in the last 7 years. Maybe the producers became wiser by not listening to him and getting trapped by his scripts. Now, coming to this movie, do not watch it. It doesn't have a proper story. It's a mix of several stories into one. You won't regret that you missed watching this movie. Everyone has been wasted in this movie. Except for a few songs scored by Thaman, this movie doesn't boast of anything better.

Victory Venkatesh was actually in a need of a disparate HIT . But he ended up selecting a Cocktail of stories titled 'Shadow'. In this movie one can see many films starting from a same old revenge story with a Mafia backdrop same as 'Kantri' , then you find 'Gabbar Singh' songs and dialogues , then you find some cinematography shots seen in the opening scenes of 'Don 2' , then you find the same locations on screen which you have already seen in 'Billa' , 'Don' and 'Don 2' , sometimes you feel that 'Tulasi' is been watched by you. Tapsee was like always , over- acting. The director lost grip on the story and the screenplay as well after the first 35 minutes of the film , and even the audiences get bored with unwanted songs and very weak dialogues and unpleasant comedy. You will only smile or at least give a smirk for exactly THREE minutes when Thagubothu Ramesh comes on the screen. And please don't think that why I haven't given any positives till now , because i found none. So it is not at all recommended for any group of audiences , do not watch it even if it is aired on any channel after a few months.I'm giving this rating because the cinematography of the title song was nice and other songs were okay , hence this rating. Rating - 2/5
