Lens

LENS is the most daring movie in Tamil you might see in years to come which exposes something you cannot explain but it gets into your nerves and makes you cringe and feel uncomfortable.... A pure thriller (gets into your spine) on voyeurism and so boldly portrayed with just 4 characters and 2 rooms. Jayaprakash Radhakrishnan has done a brilliant job and has joined some amazing debutante directors who have bloody impressed in their scripts.. DO NOT WATCH IF U FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE about this topic

Lens is a solid psychological thriller which delves into the cynical and twisted realm of human nature. It can be termed as a modern parable for the contemporary tech-savvy generation. It poses some seriously profound questions.

Being a compelling allegory about privacy intrusion, it works on various levels. The screenplay is razor-sharp and doesn't even afford you to blink. Acting is splendid. The direction is marvellous. What makes this movie so exciting and relevant is the important issues it arises. The film deals with the themes of Privacy encroachment, voyeurism, retaliation, moral deviance, ethical dissipation etc. And while addressing these issues, the film never feels preachy.

It is an excellent tale about the inherent demons in all of us. Today everybody sequesters his/her inner demons with everyone but that doesn't mean that that demon has perished. It still exists deep inside you waiting for a sound chance to come out. Isolating yourself from the real world and submerging into the virtual world is never going to help. It even intensifies the trouble.

The story is about the very same innate fiend and what happens if it unleashes.

Overall, a compelling thriller which should be watched by everyone because it carries a very ingenious and heartfelt life lesson. Superb!!!

Disclaimer: Lens is a film intended for mature audiences and is not suitable for kids.

Lens (2016) is a drama-mystery-thriller film which was written and directed by Jayaprakash Radhakrishnan. He also plays one of the main characters in the film.

The film deals with the subject of privacy intrusion very seriously. Aravind, a married man, is a voyeur and addicted to porn videos. One day a stranger comes into his webchat and says he wants Aravind to watch his death live. Why he wants him to see his death and his past makes the crux of the story. The emotions which we feel after watching the film will be unique based on our personality, tastes and past experiences. Some may feel regret. Some may feel sadness. I'm sure it will be unique for each of us. The film helps us realize our personality in the virtual world and shows the aftermath of a crime, which we casually dismiss as harmless, while committing.

The film is directed brilliantly and has a well-crafted script. The background music and cinematography keeps us engaged throughout the runtime of the film. All actors have done justice to their respective roles. Hope films with such strong content won't go unnoticed in the future.

Lens is a film that practically needs a lot more polishing in terms of performances, direction, and continuity. But from a theoretical point of view, it hits the nail throughout, holding up a mirror to our society where obscene MMS clips are the talk of the town. Quite uncomfortable to watch, Lens takes you on an arresting journey with the main character who unknowingly gets entangled in a mess over his chatroom practices. As haunting as the tale is, I'm sure it is going to make you think for a few days about your own consumption of pornography whether you want to go that road or not. TN.
