Pizza

While most of the new-age films are related to drama, comedy and sci-fi, débutante Karthik is a guy from whom I will expect more thrilling movies.

Pizza tells you a story of a pizza-delivery guy who gets entangled in a story of horror, love and deception. The first part is a juxtaposition of initiation, life and horror. While the second half is where it gets horrid, severe and mind-blowing. The genre of this sort changes as you proceed and every genre will make you even more interested. The screenplay is terrific and the camera-work is just par excellence. The background score just adds to the thrills. Boy, this is one Tamil movie I could see again and again.

The plot is very rare and ingenious. Performances are pure and inventive. Except a very big hole in the plot that I found with the help of my critic sister, Pizza is a very good entertainer, spine-chilling horror movie and thought-provoking piece of cinema. And the ending just makes it a movie with great climax which can easily be said in one line: As you sow, so shall you reap!

WATCH OUT FOR: Vijay and his anecdote!

Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES

Loved this movie. Horror-Thriller genre is actually tough in terms of making, but this movie managed to shape well. No lagging at all. Good Script, cinematography and great acting by Vijay Sethupathi (far better than that vijay who saves multiple villages lol :P) Over all a Vijay Sethupathi show.

Aside from lacklustre Romance track featuring Sethupathi and Remya, I am truly impressed by Subbaraj's ability to craft and sustain tension throughout the horror sequences.

From Michael's entrance into the eerie bungalow to the climactic revelation, I was captivated. The horror genre is undeniably reliant on technical precision, perhaps more so than any other, and to achieve such moments where the narrative remains firmly in control and sustains a certain rhythm and momentum is truly commendable.

My biggest grips is regarding the final sequence, I wish it had a bit more material and substance in offering, felt somewhat rushed.

The director Karthik Subba Raj presents the audience with a different kind of cinematic enjoyment and he has won the applause of the audience with his debut film.

The director, the actors and the cast alike have succeeded in making 'Pizza' a mere low budget film, both in its expertise and direction as well as in every field.

Michael (Vijay Sethupathi), an employee of a pizza shop, lives with his girlfriend Anu (Ramya Nambeesan).

Anu is also a novelist who does research on ghosts and demons. She often scares Michael, who says he has no faith in supernatural powers, by showing him horror movies and telling stories, but Michael did not give much importance to it.

Meanwhile, Michael goes to a secluded house for a pizza delivery.

The story progresses through the strange and terrifying circumstances that Michael faces there.

The story of Pizza cannot be told all at once as it is told in other movies.

The backbone of the film is a different and innovative script that narrates the story within the story.

At the end of the story, the audience will have many doubts.

Not only does the director not bother to answer all these doubts but it also makes it the task of the audience to find the answers.

This is where the audience gets a chance to see the film in different ways.

It goes without saying that Vijay Sethupathi's excellent performance is a major factor in the success of this film.

A good suspense thriller film that kept the novelty in presentation and theme.

A story with unexpected plot twists. Michael Karthigeyan is a pizza delivery boy who lives-in with his girlfriend, Anu who has a hobby of writing horror stories. They find it hard to make ends meet as the income is not great. Anu conceives and they get married. An unexpected series of events follow that change the course of their lives. The climax is a bit unsettling but overall, the movie is a good watch especially for the brilliance of Vijay Sethupathi as the lead character. Good direction by Karthik Subbaraj in his maiden effort. The song 'Mogathirai' is a lovely composition.
