Lens is a solid psychological thriller which delves into the cynical and twisted realm of human nature. It can be termed as a modern parable for the contemporary tech-savvy generation. It poses some seriously profound questions.

Being a compelling allegory about privacy intrusion, it works on various levels. The screenplay is razor-sharp and doesn't even afford you to blink. Acting is splendid. The direction is marvellous. What makes this movie so exciting and relevant is the important issues it arises. The film deals with the themes of Privacy encroachment, voyeurism, retaliation, moral deviance, ethical dissipation etc. And while addressing these issues, the film never feels preachy.

It is an excellent tale about the inherent demons in all of us. Today everybody sequesters his/her inner demons with everyone but that doesn't mean that that demon has perished. It still exists deep inside you waiting for a sound chance to come out. Isolating yourself from the real world and submerging into the virtual world is never going to help. It even intensifies the trouble.

The story is about the very same innate fiend and what happens if it unleashes.

Overall, a compelling thriller which should be watched by everyone because it carries a very ingenious and heartfelt life lesson. Superb!!!

It's uncomfortable to think of everyone knowing everything about ourselves. Maybe this hit too close to home resulting in many of the poor reviews, but it's definitely a well done film. A film that matters in today's reality.

Lens is a film that practically needs a lot more polishing in terms of performances, direction, and continuity. But from a theoretical point of view, it hits the nail throughout, holding up a mirror to our society where obscene MMS clips are the talk of the town. Quite uncomfortable to watch, Lens takes you on an arresting journey with the main character who unknowingly gets entangled in a mess over his chatroom practices. As haunting as the tale is, I'm sure it is going to make you think for a few days about your own consumption of pornography whether you want to go that road or not. TN.

Take a bow sir !!! Plot: 10/10 Takes up a issue related to pornographic voyeurism and presents it with a ting of thriller. Protagonist Arvind ,who is played by Jayaprakash Radhakrishnan who is also director and writer for the film, gets a unknown friend request from a person who makes some interesting demands and story unfolds thereafter with captivating and precise speed. Takes full mark for implicit social commentary. Acting:5/20 Acting is average nothing special to talk about. But it feels descent not too shabby. Cinematography etc: There has not been much scope for anything else as movie is little bit precise in its focus and limited. Still whole atmosphere is not hard to look at. Audience: It shows a mirror to current societal norms and private practices regarding sexuality around internet pornography and that image is not pretty. I am sure many people will hang their faces in shame after watching this. By that standard I thing film is a success of getting the point across audience and move them emotionally and retrospect. I recommend that people should watch this film and you will not be disappointed (only if you are not looking for some light romcom movie to chill. Even then do watch this movie some other time).

This movie really kept on the edge all the time. Realistic cinematography and acting keeps the movie flowing. Director Jayaprakash has done really great job on stacking present and past just at right place. Movie is very much realistic and shows what something fun for someone can destroy another person's world.

Disclaimer: Lens is a film intended for mature audiences and is not suitable for kids.

Lens (2016) is a drama-mystery-thriller film which was written and directed by Jayaprakash Radhakrishnan. He also plays one of the main characters in the film.

The film deals with the subject of privacy intrusion very seriously. Aravind, a married man, is a voyeur and addicted to porn videos. One day a stranger comes into his webchat and says he wants Aravind to watch his death live. Why he wants him to see his death and his past makes the crux of the story. The emotions which we feel after watching the film will be unique based on our personality, tastes and past experiences. Some may feel regret. Some may feel sadness. I'm sure it will be unique for each of us. The film helps us realize our personality in the virtual world and shows the aftermath of a crime, which we casually dismiss as harmless, while committing.

The film is directed brilliantly and has a well-crafted script. The background music and cinematography keeps us engaged throughout the runtime of the film. All actors have done justice to their respective roles. Hope films with such strong content won't go unnoticed in the future.

This movie is so stale that I literally fell asleep while watching it. I never saw the ending, and have no desire to go back and view it. I think that alone should suffice my reasoning for why it's not up to par, but I will continue to go on with more criticisms. The entire movie is filmed as if you're standing over the main character's shoulder, watching him watch his computer. There were only two main settings, the main character's apartment, and the apartment of the man harassing the main character. You really don't see much else. The alleged "suicide" must happen at the very end, because I never saw it. There were a few interesting concepts presented from time to time through the dialogue, but overall it was very dull and repetitive. I'm not really sure what else to say other than I felt like my time was wasted watching this. I feel like the other reviews left for this movie aren't really genuine.

LENS is the most daring movie in Tamil you might see in years to come which exposes something you cannot explain but it gets into your nerves and makes you cringe and feel uncomfortable.... A pure thriller (gets into your spine) on voyeurism and so boldly portrayed with just 4 characters and 2 rooms. Jayaprakash Radhakrishnan has done a brilliant job and has joined some amazing debutante directors who have bloody impressed in their scripts.. DO NOT WATCH IF U FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE about this topic

I like the concept but it's just very boring. I only watched just over half of it but it's effectively just watching a man on Skype for an hour. The acting is also very poor. I wouldn't recommend watching🤷‍♂️

You may wonder why this review is written so late. I had the feeling why I watched it so late and why I didn't watch it in theatres. A daring take by Jayaprakash, a topic that was unchosen by many but was familiar to everyone. The movie had excellent clarity, nuances, editing and what not! Watch it once and you will be haunted and you will be with a guilt if you had watched porn earlier. Now, this is the movie that needs to stay on your shelves.

I don't even know where to begin. This movies gives prospective for some and touches home for others. It might be a case of both. This movie really puts it in your face and burns it to your memory. I know I am a bit late to the party on watching it but... but it makes me want to tell my family, friends and co workers about watching this movie. Lets be humans for a moment. There are people in today's world that are into some of everything and there are more that group to it than ever thought. There are sites for things, stores, novelty items, you name it. The part can on and on. However, the point i am making is, is there is so much out there and whether its you putting out there or some one else, some of our moral compasses don't always point true. This movie I truly believes sets that line of self reflection. For every action is a reaction, equal or greater.

Moreover, the fact that we have sites for celebrities slip ups or there is a site for leaked photos and videos and we all gravitate to them based off social media or word of mouth. This movie could most definitely put peoples moral compass in check if they want it to be a LIFE IMPACTING lesson

PLEASE STOP GIVING HIGH RATINGS TO MOVIES JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE IN YOUR COUNTRY. I see it happening all the time lately and it is misleading for the people that are actually looking for a good movie to watch. I'm not saying it has a really high one, I'm just saying that I've seen thrillers with lower ratings that were so much better than this one, it would be a shame to even compare them. I found this one on Netflix and it intrigued me so I jumped into watching it without researching it too much. Big mistake. The story is ok, but the execution is straight up trash. The way it is filmed and the music are just as kitschy as anything you would see in a poor Indian TV show. The editing isn't great. The acting is so bad it makes the whole thing feel like a parody. There are some symbolic elements in it, like the eyes or the fish, that just seem out of place considering that the movie isn't subtle in any way and the other parts are so bad. Not going to go further with this. I think a 5 is a decent and deserved rating for it. Watch it only if you are in the mood for eating popcorn while scratching your bellybutton, otherwise, it will be a waste of time.

Lens presents us with a compelling look at the dangers the digital age presents on all levels. While the plot might strike one as being logistically convoluted, the film entices viewers to the point where one can see this happen to anyone. With stellar performances from Anand Sami and Jayaprakash Radhakrishnan, Lens is the perfect thriller that will keep you glued to the screen.

Only in India such great movies are madding after modiji coming inside India. This movie teached how in today world private of peoples uploading in internet and how family falling destroyed.
