Navarasa

Forget about navarasa (nine emotions), I couldn't feel even one rasa. Siddarth (bhaya) part is somewhat bearable. My three stars are for awesome cinematography and production values, what purpose they serve when the core emotion is missing.

Well, I was really excited about this series, but got disappointed.

The acting, cinematography and background scores are the best, direction is average but story is really poor.

I liked the 1st, 7th and 6th episodes the most, they really give some great message.

Some are average like 4th and 5th Some are really worse like the 3rd and 8th. If the know the 3rd episode's director's most of the movies end like that. For 3rd episode I'll say just adding confusing terms doesn't make a story great.

9th was bit confusing and incomplete storyline.

But really disappointed. I've rated as the average of all episodes.

Cinematography is good. Music is good. Acting is fine. Stories are mostly uninspiring, uninteresting and weird.

Navarasa, with 9 different segments, didn't quite stand out as an outstanding portrayal of life. I would say that roughly 3-4 segments were good and the rest were either average or totally disappointing. The last segment, featuring Surya was a sure disappointment, since it might have been the most hyped segment.

The cinematography was without a doubt good throughout the series, along with the music. Some episodes felt shallow, as if they were being forced to describe the societal fundamentals, rather than portraying it.

The best segment was the Project Agni and the most disappointing was the last segment.

My Rating : 6/10.

Once again outdated mess.

Each and every one of nine parts lags and disappoints.

1. Ethiri - Whether the casting is strong the story and emotions falls apart. Nothing exposed.

2. Summer of 92 - This emotion is named as laughter, also they had a big opportunity to do that with casting like Yogi Babu. Still went on vein.

3. Project Agni - The only good thing happened in this Navarasa. The screenplay stands tall and casting too. Too much English sequences will confuse the audience more than the script itself.

4. Payasam - They called it embarrassing, is it ? Its fully compiled with jealousy.

5. Peace - The end is not actually replicates the title. The one good thing here is that long single shot.

6. Roudhram - They call it anger, what I witnessed is Embarrassing. But the making and casting is good here. Yet it never exposed the emotion anger.

7. Inmai - Another good thing in this navarasa is this film's casting. Both siddharth and parvathy does it well. Sidhharth really exposed the emotion fear. But the execution is not great.

8. Thunitha Pin - No word is there to explain how useless this film. Really no words.

9. Guitar Kambi Mele Ninru - As usual Gautam menon stuff not great and also it takes too much of time around 48mins, in this duration they could have explained very well but still something touch emotion missing here. Songs are good and casting is great.

Overall there is no such worst anthology like this. And please stop doing like this.
