Ghost

Srini fails to deliver in this fan tribute kind of movie. The main draw back is the screen play is not well written or gripping. It is undoubtedly fast paced. The Dalavai flash back is nice and good. But the movie is not worth the watch on a silver screen, the movie is more fit for a small screen. Scattered and Un even screen play. First half is just average, but the ending is messed up. The problem might be with us the audience as we are pampered by too much content on ott post the pandemic Era. It is really difficult to find a satisfying movie. But this movie fails utterly. Three big hyped movies this year all revolved around prison and a jailer. Such a 2023 co incidence. All three movies though very average, was saved by some or the other element.

In this movie, it is the screen presence of Shivarajkumar which saves us from boredom. He has managed to carry the whole movie on his shoulders. It is sad to see no other director could use his screen presence properly after Tagaru. Jailer cameo is undoubtedly very good, but not full fledged movie for shivanna.

Music is mashed up version of so many other movies. It kind of feels too loud at places and it is very irritating. The only positive note was the De aged Young Shivanna and screen presence of Anupam Kher at the end. It was worth the torture of watching this movie in a theatre from the start to end.

I don't understand the bad luck of Sandesh Nagaraj, inspite of being a rich producer, all Directors fail under his production.

An Excellent Action thrillers without any song or dance and also importantly without so much violence. Lots of twist and turns in the story and also an unexpected climax. Shivrajkumar's heroic act is really appreciable. Even without a heroin, he was able to lead the movie on his own manner. Another important thing about this movie is Jayaram's character. I didn't expect that he can do such rude character, as I'm from Kerala, I used to watch his comedy movies. His Character was also really appreciable. Anupem Kher have done his guest appearance in a good manner. Another brilliant thing about the movie was its BGM.

I am giving my rating only for Shivanna's superb and stylish acting. While the story had potential, the screenplay lacked any coherence and the story telling left much to be desired. There are many scenes like tanker burning scene etc, which left me curious when I watched it in trailer. But it left me very disappointed as there was no explanation of it's relevance. The ending leaves with a hope of a next part. I hope Srini takes some lesson and put more effort on making the screenplay logical and not only based on mass dialogue and scenes. The fights are well choreographed. Hiest plan could have been explained well instead of just rushing it in a backdrop.

Ghost- A convoluted complex heist thriller that will blow your mind at the end as the deep rock is carved to see the diamond. The plot is mixed with so many layers (like an onion) in the first half, and one will be thinking what's going on here?, but patience prevails in the second half as it is slowly peeled or revealed with a big bang! Shivanna is classic with his scary looks as "THE OG", and the role is perfected with class and style. The screenplay is as fast as F35 fighter jets, and races ahead with full force. Director Srini is a genius as he waves his magical screenplay with a masterstroke by tying all the knots at the end. BGM is loud and hits right to the moments they want to capture. GHOST indeed is a BOOST to Srini's creativity and a FEAST in the intelligent thriller genre.

Srini comes back with a banger of a movie. Packs in Shivanna on the screen with sheer finesse and also makes sure to sprinkle the massy sections at appropriate time segments. Also the high pace screenplay ensures you have no dull moments in the story and also makes be on the edge of the seat.

The BGM by Arjun Janya ensues exhilaration throughout the movie. Especially the background score during flashback sequence is a cherry on top.

Apart from Shivanna even other characters were able to shine in their roles as well, the Jayaram's Character and Ex-CBI charcter were so nice to watch to name a few.

We have a special messenger in this movie, the conceptualization of that was a cinematic brilliance. Srini also has brilliantly integrated other technical elements aptly into the story.

Overall this movie was a great ride this is a multi-genre fast-paced mass-entertainer which we can enjoy in the theatre.

I am eager to watch further ventures from Srini in future, his direction is refined here compared to his older ones.
