Psycho

Good music, Good lighting, Good sets, Good performance by all characters.

Worst screenplay and untolerable and inappropriate untimely dialogues. Script writer has done the maximum damage.

Unwanted or avoidable semi naked scenes which has no relevance to the movie script.

Overall you may watch the movie only if you have enough time to waste.

Movie follows mugamudi and thuparivaaln. He has lost his touch. Worst among the worst. Creator says this is good cinema, and people are forced to accept it. Mysskin. Concentrate on acting. Your acting is better than your direction.

Psycho, in many ways transcends the limits that Tamil cinema has imposed on many of their 'crime thrillers'. And for that, a moment of appreciation is more than deserving for Mysskin. But for where it should've excelled, it falls flat on its face. When you take a genre of film that is notoriously saturated, at least make sure that your work stands out story wise. Psycho borrows inspiration heavily from many, many western films. And in many ways, Mysskin has created a clone of those crime thrillers that you so love in Hollywood.

All the acting was meh. Nobody's acting particularly stood out. Nithya Menon was the best among the bunch, along with Rajkumar Pitchumani (the psycho), who delivered what was expected of a role like this. Udhayanidhi Stalin was pretty okay, not really dwelling deep into his character.

With the onslaught of crime thrillers in recent times, i really expected this to stand out.

Directed by Mysskin, one of the iconic directors of Tamil cinema, Psycho, as expected is dark and disturbing, similar to his previous films.

Music by Sir Ilayaraja, the BGM score etches the heart of the audience to the screen. Three melodies by the melody king, adds life to the scene and makes you hum even after the end of the show.

Cinematography by Tanveer Mir, is unbelievable. From what we can see, the cameras were swirling around at multiple angles all the times. Kudos to him.

Edited by N. Arunkumar, the film has a professional editing style and it's precisely cut providing audience engagement during the watchtime.

Written by Mysskin himself, the writing was average. The dialogues seemed stuffed and artificial. The characters are one dimensional and any actor could've performed the lead role leaving no space for acting.

Dubbing was awful. Though the dialogues were minimum, they are mostly spoken over closed lips. The voice of the dubbing artist Savitha Reddy didn't suit Aditi Rao Hydari.

Rajkumar as Angulimala and an unknown actress as Teacher Rachel, are the two promising actors in the film who wasn't Mysskin's mind. All the other characters resembled the tone of Mysskin in one or the other way.

To conclude, Psycho is watchable. It's engaging and would definitely be a treat for the thrill loving audience. It can also be disturbing for sensitive people. It's only worth watching in theatres for Illayaraja sir's music and Tanveer's cinematography. Other than that, you must have tolerance towards fellow audience as they can be really annoying and may spoil the thrill and chill.

As per the name, the movie portrays a guy who's become a psychopath due to multiple waves of abuse during his school days. Nevermind, about the plot or story or screenplay, it the about the director whom we admire just because of his making style. If Myskkin does 10 movies even with the same plot, people would still admire, watch & applaud him just because of his making style which is unique and different, also called weird by some but that's what makes the audience watch his movies which works very well. I was taken back a bit when I saw that nowadays even ladies as equal to men come to watch these kinda raw, violent, cold-blooded movies, maybe I'm witnessing/noticing this for the first time with this movie watching it in the theatres. Although it was a good watch, it doesn't even stand nearby the director last hit: Thupparivaalan. Also, the psycho/Vinay's characterization in the Thupparivaalan was much arrogant/violent and better designed than the one in this movie.
