Black

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.

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.

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.

I've watched this movie, one of the finest in recent days! If you're a sci-fi movie lover, you can definitely check it out. It's a low-budget movie, but the sound effects and visuals feel like those of a high-end horror film. With only two main characters and a few side actors, Jeeva and Priya nail their screen presence. Every scene builds anxiety . Initially, you're unsure what's happening but as the movie progresses, all questions are answered . The climax is brilliantly executed, and the director's decision to film from the audience's POV is a tactical move. This movie deserves an award in Tamil Nadu ; it's a proud moment for Tamil cinema!

Rating: 5/5 Recommendation: Must Watch!

I wasn't going to watch Black but the plot of Coherence had me eager to see how this had been adopted for the Tamil audience. I'd heard GOOD reviews, but I was fairly certain they'd take at least 20 mins to get the plot started but.....this, while a bold attempt at sci-fi in Kollywood, is a far cry from the original. You may find it worth your time if you have not watched Coherence, but boy was this a mess in comparison. The plot takes about 40 mins to get started, there are elements in the film that feel unnecessary, not sure about the creative decisions but the writer might have had reasons.

From a plot standpoint, this film throws very many scientific terms in the climax and hopes we're like "Oh, i see what happened" and I don't know if that was....convincing.

The original has 8 people central to the plot and you'd think this adds to the complexity but they surprisingly did a good job. In Black, the plot revolves around just the two leads and even that is needlessly convoluted.

Just by itself, it was..an OK movie at best. Keta "Hollywood la yedutha OK nu sollunvinga" nu dialogue viduvanungo. When you take into account that it was an official remake, this was an opportunity wasted.

Watch Coherence regardless, you can then watch Black or skip it.
