Uppena

Routine Love story with extra twist and lover over lust things makes this movie watchable... The cast and making is extraordinary.... The songs are another saving grace for the movie and flow... Worth the watch...

I'm not going to lie,but I had high expectations before I entered the theatre to watch Uppena. Mythri Movie Makers who've given some beautiful films in the past producing this,the amazing songs and most importantly Sukumar's assistant directing,I think it's fair to say I was expecting something better but Uppena tries to get there but it simply can't.

The romance is outdated and the storyline up till the climax is dragged out. The characters seem interesting but they become so involved in their love and you're left wondering if at any point you'd be able to know more about them separately.

Now it doesn't mean Uppena doesn't have its pros. The leads,especially Krithi Shetty do justice to their roles and Vijay Sethupathi as usual is nothing less than perfect. The visuals are pleasing and the music is probably the best thing about this film for me. Some dialogues are well written and so are a couple of scenes.

Now I know that people thought the climax was hard hitting and till an extent it is but by the time the twist comes ahead you've lost interest and have looked at your watch at least 5 times. If only the second half was tighter.

At the end of the day Uppena is like a good swim in the sea spoilt because of the rain.If you want a dose of 2000's romance and can sit through a slow second half,give this film a shot.

Uppena

An wild and cenamatic love tale which we missed since the late 2000's . Only after watching this we feel what we missed , the love in the air feel of an non-mobile era , the rustic opposing fathers and carving gilrs , really we should have moves like this now and then.

There is nothing special in this expect for the last 15 minutes ( expect of Vijay Sethupathi, his presence is fresh even in this aga old character) The last twist( so called) which was forshadowed In the first half, is crude in the sense , like which the audience didn't ask for but needed .

The stars are Vijay Sethupathi obviously , krithi Shetty is the best 17 old heroin I have even seen, she is bold and flirty , vaissshnav Tej looks humble , not that bad for his first move but a bit pale beside Vijay Sethupathi and krithi Shetty.

Over all , an ordinary movie with a good dynamic climax ( I don't use a twist because it's forshadowed , only we have to watch properly).

P.S Songs and drone shots( cinematography ) are good , real good.

Uppena is a movie which tried to say a very important concept but the way they are showing the film is important. The direction and cinematography is good. But this film lacks screenplay, unwanted scenes songs repeated scenes are disturbing the interesting factors of the movie. The role of Vijay Sethupathi sir is top notch and the portion when he comes is nxt level. So overall uppena is an above average movie with a good message.

The highlight of the movie is VJS characterization as a ruthless casteist and peculiar things he do to uphold his caste prestige. The romantic track between the lead actors is age old and boring in the beginning. But, the movie picks up well in the 2nd half after a crucial fight scene and everything connects. DSPs music and bgm is soulful and engaging.
