Mysskin, Cheran. These are the names that I knew before going to this movie. Some where in a one-way road in Villivaakam is a theatre called AGS cinemas. This was the first time I went there and I was already 10 minutes late to the movie.
The story is bit complicated. A CID officer when in solving a case comes to know another case (to which he is personally attached) is related to it. And in the midst of solving a case, opens up many number of cases. And everything seems to be related to one huge scandal.
Narrative is linear. Often filled with witness perception which are shown in flash-backs.
Cinematography is awesome particularly the night scenes. About 80% of the scenes happen at night. But it is really irritating when the camera angles become redundant (one example is often showing legs and bottom angle shots. I wanted to shout "Legs don't show emotion").
BGM is great and music director has used silence to his advantage.
Another thing I noticed is dialogues. Often it seems like only one character is talking to me. The dialogues are monotonous(not in dialogue delivery but in the quotient) and doesn't show any difference.
Editing is great. It is quintessential in the movie because scenes switch between current and flashback version often that too in the same location. An example is when the inspector narrates about the case that happened in the station. Camera moves forward and the scenes are in flashback mode.
This movie is very well thought but according to me, not executed to its 100%.
"Observer is observed" by Jiddu Krishnamurthy.
Hmm. How about "Every object is staring at you" by James Elkins. Potentially everyone are observers and everyone are observed.
