Spyder

Must watch Telugu movie.

Wonderful subject told in a beautiful way.

Edge of the seat thriller for audience.

One of the best scenes in the entire movie is the feat done by few ladies to save their neighbors in the street. Hats-off to Director.

There is an underlining message to audience right from start till the end. Anyone who tries to catch the suspense built to experience the thrill and understand the message by end of movie will never be disappointed with Spyder.

Happy to have seen this movie on release day.

Good Luck to entire unit.

Do not miss the movie, meaning and message.

No doubt that Spyder is a bold attempt made by director A.R Murugadoss. This movie has a good plot backed by a gripping screenplay.Other technical aspects of this film are also topnotch e.g. Cinematography by Santosh Sivan,Background score by Harris Jayaraj,etc. Mahesh Babu and S.J Suryah has delivered stellar performances.But the songs and the visuals of the roller coaster sequence could have been better.Overall Spyder is a very stylish thriller in which A.R Murugadoss sir has brought another new concept just like his previous projects.

This film revolves around a low-level employee for the Intelligence Bureau named "Shiva" (Mahesh Babu) whose job consists of monitoring private telephone conversations between everyday people to try to prevent crimes if he can. To help him accomplish this he has developed a software application that keys in to certain words or phrases and then he dispatches one of his contacts to the potential crime scene to intervene if necessary thereby stopping a crime before it can be committed. The beauty of it is that his superiors have no idea of what he is actually doing as it's all off the record. His satisfaction in helping others, however, is put to the test when he sends one of his colleagues to a destination where a serial killer by the name of "Sudalai" (S. J. Suryah) is secretly hiding and both his friend and the innocent person he was hoping to help are brutally murdered. From that point on he makes it his mission to track down this murderer before he can kill any more people. What he doesn't know is just how clever this maniac is. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a good action film for the most part but it struggled somewhat with the romantic element between Shiva and "Charlie" (Rakul Preet Singh). Likewise, the ending also got a bit out of hand as well. Even so, despite these faults I enjoyed this film and I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.

Spyder (2017): Who wouldn't have high expectations on the most unexpected and stylish combo in recent times, Muragadoss - Mahesh Babu combo.Even though the teaser and trailer have disappointed,expectations didn't flutter as Muragadoss rarely disappoints (Except in Stalin and 7th Sense). So how is it? Plot: Shiva (Mahesh Babu) is an Intelligence Bureau officer who works in Call Tapping department. He hears everyone's problem and helps them. His life turns upside down when a psychopath named Bhairavudu (SJ Suryah) enters his life. How he captures Bhairavudu and stops all the evil plans is what the film is all about.

My Review: AR Murugadoss is without any doubt an excellent storyteller. His talent lies in inducing social message perfectly within the commercial movie terrain. It is the reason why he is a brand in his own right, and people develop certain expectation when a film comes from him and to an extent he never disappoints.In his career,just Stalin and Seventh Sense are his weakest works and now unfortunately Spyder joins the list.

First half of the films takes lot of time to get into thrilling track.Till then an unnecessary but mandatory romantic track tests our patience.Even the placement of songs is so bad.But the film gains pace with the murder of a girl and female constable and the scenes where hero investigates about Bhairavudu and especially Bhairavudu's flashback is spine chilling.The entire sequence of Mahesh Babu going to the village of Bhairavudu and getting to know the childhood story of Bhairavudu is told in highly engaging manner. This is stamp of Murugadoss.That flashback episode has a touch of horror to it and raises the hopes on the film.The interval scene and the conflict between hero and villain are all well done.

However, the film kind of goes downhill after the interval. Scenes start to become far-fetched (an episode involving Shiva using women to save a family held captive by villain) and after a point, totally implausible (Shiva trying to stop a massive boulder from wrecking havoc).The boulder scene, roller-coaster fight, the hospital climax these all appear like specially designed items on a big scale to divert the audience from the distinct lack of story.The problem with second half is the screenplay jumps from one block to other, and one can feel the jump.

Even technically this movie has nothing new to offer.Except for cinematography,rest of the departments fell flat.Editing is messy and music is one the biggest disaster in recent times.Even the background score reminds us of Harris's previous work.

Undoubtedly, Mahesh is the biggest asset for the film. His screen presence and intense acting will impress the audience completely. Mahesh's dedication and determination are clearly visible on screen through his fights and performance. He has carried the entire film on his shoulders.SJ Surya gave a good performance as psycho and the kid who played villain's child episode role deserves applause.

So,Spyder may have all qualities to be qualified as a perfect action thriller but weak narration destroyed the chances miserably.

When Tollywood has lack of potential concepts,it severely disappoints when the movies like this wastes what they have.

My Rating 6.25/10

When you have 125 crore movie,you have really high expectations from this movie but i watched this movie with not much expectations and i would say i am satisfied with the movie even though there were certain things which were not so good,it had some good visuals and some not so good visuals and in some parts,certain things were not believable but overall,they tried to do something new and almost succeeded
