Farhana

At first, it felt like a feminist film, where woman typically revolt against the patriarchy, but till the interval it popped like a bubble, and took a sold U-turn, I guess the movie crew understood the worth of their heads, lol Anyway, this movie makes absolutely no sense, the plot is baseless, a woman from a typical Muslim family tries to earn a living but is not allowed by her typical society, still, she makes it somehow, being so submissive, shy, still cracks a call center interview, but she was not happy so she tried next step by joining an adult call center for better pay... Overall it all felt like a joke.

The story is very good and opt for current situation. But the characters and the picturization is age old. The worst part is that it give very wrong impact on the working women. And still couldn't understand why the heroine need to be from Muslim family.

The characters are not natural and they change their characters differently in different situation. Husband character is best example. Why he is silent and what he thinks in the interval block, god only knows....

Selvaragavan character was quite good in the beginning and interesting, he also changed after interval and become dead boring towards end.

One time watchable, by ignoring all these things.

Initially started with some unwanted scenes which was like where this movie heading but continued to watched and thrilled the way movie progressed.

Hats off to the director for portraying the daily struggles of common people like the shoe store owner, flower seller etc.

Iswarya Rajesh nailed her character and proved again she is a real bet in this industry.

Selva raghavan selects the best movies storyline and proved again in this movie. Although his face is not shown for several minutes into the movie but his voice made the magic increasing the thriller factor.

Music during the last 30 minutes was too good.

Overall a must watch movie.

Cinematography and the story keeps one on the edge. The movie is for art lovers. It's engaging and serves the right courses throughout the meal. Mesmerizing background score. There is no one thing to despise in the movie. The acting is just perfect. It's dark, romantic, witty, intriguing, emotional, lovable, realistic. It's a mirror to a society which is very much is hiding behind phones. An amazing take on modern day world of technology and the crimes associated with it. The story is so beautifully woven and it displays so many interesting themes. The display of materiarchal society where the daughters live with their husbands, is something very new and fresh. Must watch. Will stay in ones heart and mind.

Farhana is a thriller drama film written and directed by Nelson Venkatesan. The film stars Aishwarya Rajesh, Jithan Ramesh and Selvaraghavan.

Middle-class mother Farhana takes a call centre job due to her financial situation. Although this gives her freedom, it also leads her into a web of danger.

This film has an entertaining plot but due to novice and immature approach the film turns out to be some family drama or some episode of any crime TV show.

The start of the film is good and the first part of the film is very impressive and the film will give you a glimpse of a great thriller film in making but as the film progresses and gets towards it's climax the film starts turning into some random family drama film.

Acting in the film is average. Selvaraghavan was impressive till the time he was on phone. Jithan Ramesh was impressive. Aishwarya Rajesh tried too hard but failed to impress.

Screenplay of the film is also bad and it seems that the film was unnecessarily stretched. The climax of the film is disappointing.

Overall a promising plot ruined because of immature approach.
