The Last Smile

In The Last Smile, writer-director Shankey Srinivasan, demonstrates that he has the material and the skills to make the movie a thriller in the style of neo-noir detective films. But he wants more. He wants to convey not only an important message(risks with unregulated health supplement industry) - but wants to give the story a transcendental dimension. He succeeds in doing so by adding beautiful poetry in Hindi and surrealistic montage to his movie. It sounds like a strange marriage. A Neo-noir thriller and Hindi poetry? But it works. Where different cultures meet, unique things are born. This movie is one such example, born from the marriage of East and West. Well made indie film.

There isn't a lot to like about this movie. Sadly it is lacking in plot, direction and acting.

I really enjoyed this movie because it carries a serious warning to all.And a special warring for pharmaceutical companies: (When you sell a product, you are responsible for its safety and what it suppose to accomplish). I see people taking food supplements that suppose to make life better for them. But unfortunately it's not always the case. Many people were hurt or even killed by such products. The story line and the acting was exceptionally good. The Indian great and rich culture gave the movie an additional quality and substance. Thumps up for all the film participants.

All the actors looked very natural. Awesome story line. Nice screenplay and direction. Could really feel the actor playing role of father doing it effortlessly. A must watch for all movie-buffs!!

The Last Smile is based on a true story and I find that incredibly inspiring to watch. The film keeps you on your toes till the very end. It entertains with twits and turns yet touches your heart with warm emotions while stimulating the mind at the same time.
