The Victim web series is well received and one of the episodes is well-placed to make a huge impact.
Venkat Prabhu, P.Ranjith, Simbudhevan and M.Rajesh, a leading director of Tamil cinema, has released a 4-part web series called Victim on Sonil Liv today. The web series, which released amidst great anticipation and has been receiving a good response, is well-positioned to make a huge impact.
Dhamma
Directed by director B. Ranjith, the film features a bust of Buddha amidst sprawling farmland. A farmer named Guna (Guru Somasundaram) works diligently on his land while his daughter tries to please everything she finds in the field. In that attempt she sits around Buddha’s shoulders and tries to fly.
Seeing this, her father Guna gets angry and says that God should not ascend and descend on him. But he said, “Father, the Buddha has said that there is no God. Do you call him?” After hearing that, she rolls her eyes at her father and shouts again. But Guna, who is in no mood to learn spiritual lessons from his daughter, tries to get her to step down from the top of the Buddha.
He has a wide shot to enjoy this beautiful set that looks like a green field. Ranjith. Guna’s daughter Kema is playing on the Buddha’s shoulders, her father standing beside her. There is so much innocence and peace in the scene.
But with the arrival of Shekhar (Kaliyarasan) all those things fall apart. He seems to have developed a hatred for Kema and Guna. This hatred that started on a small issue grows and becomes bigger and bigger.
In a fight between two elders, Shekhar is cut. But it was an accident and Guna had nothing to do with it. But the Shekhar family is not ready to argue with Guna. Blinded by hatred and rage, they rush to the spot to kill Guna. Through these actions, Ranjith aptly visualizes the default nature of the human condition, when humans become irrational animals, without any rationality.
Mirrange
Next, M. Rajesh said that his film is a thriller. But what he gives us is a horror film. A technologist from Bangalore is going to Chennai due to his office work. His company has given him a separate house in the outskirts of Chennai. In that house, six months ago, the entire family of the housekeeper set herself on fire and committed suicide.
From this you can guess what will happen in the next 20 minutes. The movie is clumsy and it is very difficult to understand what is going on in it. The scene at the end of the film does not take much to show what he is trying to say in the film
Fort Pakku Wattalum..terrace terrace!
Director Simbudhevan’s movie. It’s a fantasy drama set in the backdrop of Covid Lockdown, a reporter is forced to quit his job if he can’t deliver an interesting story to his paper and thus, in a lockdown frenzy, grinds a few betel leaves and performs an act in the hope that a 400-year-old spiritual master will knock on his door.
What happens next is the rest of the story. Even though the director gives such a huge opportunity, he fails to utilize it properly. Simbudeva has tried to show how bad humans are compared to all other creatures in the world. But he didn’t try to tell his story on the right screen. Director Simbudhevan failed to utilize the experience of Nasser and Thambi Ramaiah properly.
Confession
Venkat Prabhu’s film seems to be inspired by Hostage. The film is reminiscent of director Joel Schumacher’s 2002 thriller Phone Booth. But unlike that film, Confession does nothing to draw us into the story. The dialogues, staging and acting make this film worthless. Lead director Venkat Prabhu failed to impress the audience with this film.
