8/10

Game over opens to handicam mode where we witness a lady being butchered and torched to death by an unknown psychopath. The film then shifts to swapna (Tapsee) who lives alone with her housemaid Kalamma(Vinodini).She keeps glued to her video game all the time and has nyctophobia(fear of darkness). This is the primary setting to the film.Ashwin Saravanan has taken more than enough time to set the tone of the film in the first half but the editing in the second half is somehow able to clear that up. It has been seen in Hollywood several times that famous games are adapted in films ,now for the first time it is being tried in our country.We have been all familiar with Pacman video game which has acted as an important trigger for "Game Over".The film kind of lost believability in the second half which on the other hand is better than the first half (as I have already said).If the film attempts to be known to be a psychological thriller,I am afraid the attempt is half hearted.The film plunges into ridiculous cat and mouse sequences which make the film thrilling to watch but quite absurd to comprehend.The film becomes overly pretentious in some parts which made the film an one time watch.The camerawork for the film works impressively accompanied by the haunting background score.Tapsee Pannu is the only reason for you to watch the film at a stretch.She has been absolutely stunning in her role as a weak and frightened character.The scares,desperations brought by her in her face for the role seems to be authentic and right on spot.Vinodini also shines as her housemaid who has motherly affection towards sapna.The film has an underlying tone involving the violence against women.The film is ambitious but kind of a let down if you wanna have a quality experience.

A successful film despite a laziness insolently claimed by the scriptwriters: remake of Happy death plus a cinematographic graft of the ultra-well-known concept of the 3-lives counter freely inspired from the video-game universe. Not to mention three masked psychopaths more mean-looking than friendly with whom we do not really want to hug.

As a synthesis: nice with low expectation. 5/6 of 10

Amazing movie it was ! Specially the last part was so good. The concept is more awesome. Never seen any movie of this kind movie or any concept. Last scene was really the game between life and death ! Must watch !

I had thought this would be decent to watch as there are very small bunch of movies to call them thrillers but it actually crossed my expectations. Its introductory scene was terrific and violent (for some I think) but it has created decent foundation for the rest of the film. Taapsee Pannu as victim of rape has really convincing and as a audience we will really feel sympathy for her. Through her acting she will really win audiences heart and convinces us throughout entire film. Screenplay was excellent and uts the best I had watched in the recent. Throughout the scenes it makes us jump on the seat and gets compelled to the scrren for rest of its to complete.
