Boomika

This is a dud. Why every cr@p from tamil cinema end up in Netflix.

Firstly what does Aishwarya Rajesh in the poster dressed up in leaves has to do with this film. The title role is for someone else. Aishwarya rajesh acted terribly in a support role in this film. Showing her in the poster was pure marketing gimmick.

Direction was as amateurish as it can be. Actors were so pathetic that they simply either over act or fail miserably.

The cinematographer was so pathetic that even during a power cut scene in the film the background sparkles by white light. The brilliant DOP even captured the white light source in a frame.

Music is another annoying aspect of this already pathetic film. The Composer started the music in the 1st frame and never ended even during the end credits.

The story is trash. Usual horror elements/plot/backstory format. The director in-between tries to push some information into our mind but due to lacklustre screenplay we are unable to tolerate even a single scene.

Pathetic Direction and acting felt like watching a B class movie.

Rating is for movie and the boomika actress acting. Rest all acting simply waste.. that sister character is annoying. Could have executed well. Baaaaad acting.

The film is too slow and boring to watch. The camera shifts from paranormal mode to scenary, its not at all engaging. The last scenes look forced and there seems to be narrator throughout the movie to explain what is happening. Not worth your time!

Yet another thriller offering from the super-talented Aishwarya Rajesh, 'Bhoomika' is a film with its heart in the right place but in trying to do too many things, director Rathindran Prasad looses his way and in turn. Looses the audience as well.

Our up and coming lady superstar plays the role of a child psychologist, who moves into an eerie boarding school which she along with her developer husband hopes to turn into eco villas. There, they encounter a series of supernatural incidents and how the motley crew of scared youngsters tackle these forms the rest of the plot.

While there are many sequences that provide jump scares, Aishwarya is let down by a largely mediocre supporting cast with Madhuri, Surya Ganapathy and Ayaan Abhishek's performances being largely forgettable.

The ever dependable Pavel Navageethan makes a strong impression in a short role while Avantika Vandanapu excels in playing an autistic teenager with depth and nuance.

In trying to deliver a different horror experience, the director meanders unconvincingly into techno-horror and ecological horror elements, without providing sufficient intrigue get the audiences to buy into the plotline at any point.

While the idea and the theme were on point, sadly, the execution wasn't. Even an earnest performance from Aishwarya Rajesh cant save this mediocre effort.

Not recommended!
