Bakasuran

This is a story that needed to be told for today's generation. Bakasuran took time to expose online sex trafficking and its repercussions. We were well advised.

How we just wished that the acting and screenplay were more robust to take Bakasuran to higher heights!

DELICIOUS

-We want to appreciate Mohan G for conceiving this story and upholding cultural values👊🏾 Though there were many occasions to make the movie sexual or explicit, Mohan still retained a sense of decency which was very appreciated, and various examples were illustrated to serve as lessons

-There was no heroine or female love interest for the main characters! Thank you for this originality and breaking out from the typical characters

-Not every development or technology is an advancement, it's still crucial to maintain the good side of our cultures and that's exactly what Bakasuran showed

BLAND

-From the lead characters to the supporting cast, no one stood out. It appeared like one person was repeating his lines, then the other followed with his; it wasn't flowing naturally

-Some of the sequences were quite coincidental while others lacked logic, e.g. Arul is telling his assistant how to trap a pimp but this scene takes place outdoors few meters away from the targeted location

-The movie started off in a captivating manner, however, toward ¾ of the film, the pace toned down with a sequence of predictable events.

Man is away the entire day earning his livelihood. Wife is preoccupied with housework. Their young daughter is in her room studying, with the door shut. But is she really studying? No. She covertly sends her nude videos to her paramour, who threatens to make these viral if she does not indulge in prostitution. Ultimately she has no option but to commit suicide. Such occurrences are on the rise. Teachers, security guards, cops and hostel wardens are all involved in this appalling scam. Tamil movie #Bakasuran deals with a pertinent topic and boasts of good performances. It certainly needs to be watched by all pubescent women. Running time needs to be reduced by 20 minutes. Rating 3/5.

This movie carries an important message for youngsters, including children who use the smartphones and very importantly their parents. Shows how an intruder has come into your home via the Smartphone of your children and about to destroy lives.

Besides the message, excellent acting by the father of the girl, ex-serviceman and many others. Cinematography is also top notch. Movie started off when a temple procession and wondering what is going on. Some random killings happened and you start to wonder. Soon, the momentum built up and it all comes together and makes full sense at the end. So, the story is weaved together very well. Shows expertise in the art of story telling and movie making.

"Bakasuran" is a Tamil film from 2023 that delves into the world of crime and forced prostitution. While the direction and screenplay of the film may not be particularly memorable, the performances of the actors and the thriller effect it produces are the strengths of this film.

Selvaraghavan, Natatajan Subramaniam, Radha Ravi, K. Rajan, and Ramachandran Durairaj deliver convincing performances that bring credibility to the story. The action scenes and twists throughout the film keep the audience engaged.

However, despite these strengths, "Bakasuran" is not a film for everyone. The subject of forced prostitution may be difficult to watch for some viewers. Additionally, the direction and screenplay were not strong enough to give true depth to the story.

In conclusion, "Bakasuran" is an average Tamil film that will appeal to those who enjoy crime films. I give it a rating of 6/10 and recommend it to Tamil thriller enthusiasts looking for an interesting story and solid performances from the actors.

I just finished watching one of the Terrible movie released this year. As a big fan of Selvaraghavan's work, I've seen most of the movies he has directed. However, I have to say that he is not a good actor. Additionally, I found the movie script to be outdated and regressive in some ways. While it's true that giving mobile phones to young children is not advisable, considering gadgets and mobile phones as inherently evil is a misguided perspective. In reality, gadgets have made our lives better in many ways. Of course, moderation is key, and promoting violence and killing in is never acceptable.
