Black

Black (2024) isn't just a movie; it's a thrilling journey through time, love, and fate. This film takes us on a rollercoaster as a couple finds themselves trapped in a relentless loop, desperately seeking a way out while wrestling with the question of destiny and choices. Each loop reveals new layers of their past and future, pulling us deeper into their love, fears, and unresolved mysteries.

The direction is exceptional, blending intense emotions with stunning visuals that keep you guessing till the last second. The storytelling grips you, leaving you in awe as it explores the complexities of relationships within the boundless dimensions of time. Every moment is an edge-of-your-seat thrill, balancing suspense with profound emotional moments.

A must-watch for fans of psychological thrillers and time-travel mysteries. Black (2024) is a cinematic experience that lingers long after the credits roll, reminding us that sometimes, love defies even time itself.

Similar experience is unfolded in Stock Market with BankNifty Index forming similar loops & mostly unfolding an Elliott wave triangle.

Movie started off with a great start but ended up not hitting the mark with unnecessary sub plots that failed to align with the main plot.

Whatever that was missed in the plot was made up with the acting of both actors, Jeeva and Priya. Both played their roles well especially the character of Jeeva as he struggles to understand the confusion and mystery of his surroundings.

That being said, credit has to be given to production team that filled the set with the theme of mystery in the crucial parts. This gave the opportunity for editing to turn put better and honestly, even though the movie could have been better, it is still worth a watch if you are into mystery movies.

It's 1964, Manohar is helping his friends elope and marry despite being in love with the girl. He takes them to his holiday home and soon, finds them both dead, shocking the bejesus out of him. Years later, Vasanth and Aranya are a couple who are happily married but small strain is showing in their relationship. To make up for it, they plan a vacation and land up in the holiday home. It's the night of red moon and both start feeling strong deja vu. They are further shocked to see similar houses which are occupied despite being not sold. What do they uncover on that night while being stuck in a loop? How does Aranya go missing, turning Vasanth into a suspect? Will Vasanth be able to prove his innocence and find his wife? The film tries to answer them all.

I have not seen the film that acts as inspiration to this one. It is commendable to see a film outside the usual Tamil cinema and 2024 has been the year where this has been tried a few times especially in Kannada films. The story deals with parallel universes theory and the director takes his sweet time to get to the point i.e. Good 40 odd minutes which would be my major complaint. Once the couple settle in the house, it gets interesting and the director is able to keep the mystery alive for the next one hour. The explanation does get oversimplified in the third act and I wish the director had explored the 1964 plot a bit more. The final twist is decent and again, it could have been executed a lot better if the climax had maintained the tense moment. I would still recommend Black to all, just for the attempt.

This movie is about an interesting concept, like the multiverse or black hole theory. First of all, congratulations to the director and the whole team for their effort. The movie stars Jeeva and Priya Bhavani Shankar, and both did a great job in their roles. Music director Sam CS also did a good job with the music.

The best part of the movie is the writing. It's not easy to come up with and execute such a complex idea, but they did it well. Even though it's not a big-budget movie, the story is well thought out and written. The first hour focuses on setting up the story, giving hints about what's to come, and adding details. The movie moves slowly and is fully driven by the story. Before the climax, the film explains why everything is happening, and it's easy to understand and connect the theories to some scenes.

The downside of the movie is the ending. Until the climax, the writing was strong, but the climax felt rushed, and the ending was confusing. Other than that, the director and team did justice to the idea.

I personally liked the movie. If you enjoy films with unique concepts like this, you will like it, at least until the ending. It's a good movie to watch with your family.

Science fiction movies are relatively rare in Indian cinema, so when I find one, I have to give it a try. It's a tricky genre, and just because you have a basic storyline you can't make a feature film if you don't develop that thread-unfortunately, that's the issue here.

The film follows a couple who travel to their newly bought house in a community for a vacation, only to realize they're skipping timelines. Do they try to break the loop and save themselves, or do they remain trapped? That's for the viewers to discover.

The plot is interesting, and you start a guessing game with questions like what, why, and how it's happening to the couple. It takes a while to piece everything together, and the story makes sense up to that point. But once your questions are answered, the explanations are sloppy and unsatisfactory, leaving you disappointed. There are multiple sequences that feel like filler, adding no value and making you question their place in the narrative.

Jiiva does well in the lead, and he still has that charm; he definitely deserves more roles. Priyanka Bhavani Shankar provides solid support as his wife, with an earnest performance. However, the chemistry between them is lacking, largely due to the screenplay.

This film had a good premise but fell short in developing it. The suspense elements work in the movie's favor, making it worth a watch for a change, but don't expect anything extraordinary.
