Pizza was a path breaking movie in many ways—Vijay Sethupathy established a new trend, the success of the movie created ripples and led to many other genre breaching movies (NKPK, Soothu Kavvum), short story directors got an identity for themselves. Now a year later, this movie has borrowed its title and along with it some of the original cast. But in the other areas, this movie is fresh and special in its own right.
A budding writer with Daddy issues inherits a Villa that his father had kept as a secret. The hero is left with no choice but to stay in the Villa. Initially the house brings him good luck, but as days roll on, eeriness prevail and disturbs through the paintings in the house. What is wrong with the house and how it is connected with the artwork forms the rest of the story.
At 102 minutes this is a well scripted, beautifully described work just like the paintings in the movie. The characters are limited and hence are well defined. Even the cameo of Nasser and SJ Surya gels well with the screenplay. Music and Cinematography adds grip to the already tight screenplay.
Amidst the Tamil Cinema filled with "Masala" and "Mass" based movies, this attempt certainly deserves kudos and a very loud round of applause. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
