Blue Star

I saw this film today and initially I felt that maybe this film was another caste discrimination film but was pleasantly surprised about the way the caste differences were depicted. The humor elements are judiciously spread throughout the length of the film ensuring that the audience is hooked to storyline. The character who portrays Ashok Selvan's brother in the movie, has done a very commendable job and his performance was very memorable. Shantanu plays second fiddle to Ashok Selvan but has shown enough promise for people to expect him to play a solo hero role sometime in the future.

This will surely be a landmark film for Ashok Selvan as it is his first with his wife starring opposite him as the heroine.

Well executed movie with decent political agenda and love, family, friendship, nativity and humanity above all. More than all of those, a well taken message is be calm and do what's needed.

Cinematogaphy topnotch.. acting a1.. especially Ashok, Prithvi and of course Shanthanu Would have avoided too much dark tone and hatred speech. Added little more comedy.

Villain was not strong but this storyline doesn't need that. It's an emotion and everyone carried that well except couple characters. Few characters like Venkat which also mentioned that they will change and join this revolution. But they didn't till end.

Overall good movie for sports or cricket fan.

Even though this film is about the game of cricket from the outside, it really tells a lot of things that go beyond the game of cricket for me.

Unlike other films that I have seen, in these films, the heroine is given an important role.

It's amazing to be able to come up with such a beautiful film on such a shoestring budget.

It has been made in a way that even the simpleton can easily understand. So everyone who comes out after watching this movie will have the above thought that this movie is a great movie and will be a great time source without any doubt.

All the cricketers in this film have performed very well.

So the movie is decent, the cricket scenes were really enjoyable... but the problem is with the plot itself. We've watched too many rural vs spoilt rich, oppressed vs oppressor, etc. Movies already, and this movie doesn't offer anything new in that aspect. It's the same old heroic village boys vs evil league players which is a trope that's been oversaturated at this point. The screenplay in my opinion (probably unpopular) was actually good enough to keep me engaged. The music is done well in this movie, and all the actors did their role pretty well.

This is a pretty decent One time watchable movie, so I guess give it a go if you're bored. (Barghav please don't hurt my family you did very well in the movie I beg you)

Bluestar is anything but a sports movie .

It hectors its way into cinematic oblivion with the most convenient and abjectly superficial treatment of subaltern vs the elite , rendering it a caste color where there is none.

This tendency has been a calling card of direcotr Pa Ranjit who seems to resort to easy tropes to justify his hatred for some based on caste . So the old fashioned casteism of the director oozes forth through the movie through a festering sore .

He scratches every shadow and plumbs every pit of his Periyarist casteist mind to find justification for discrimination based on caste .

Patently avoidable bilge.
