Blue Star

Bluestar is anything but a sports movie .

It hectors its way into cinematic oblivion with the most convenient and abjectly superficial treatment of subaltern vs the elite , rendering it a caste color where there is none.

This tendency has been a calling card of direcotr Pa Ranjit who seems to resort to easy tropes to justify his hatred for some based on caste . So the old fashioned casteism of the director oozes forth through the movie through a festering sore .

He scratches every shadow and plumbs every pit of his Periyarist casteist mind to find justification for discrimination based on caste .

Patently avoidable bilge.

"Blue star" is a usual cricket based drama but seems different by its staging, set-up and conflicts. The first half of the movie is is very engaging with intersting conflicts between 2 local teams. The interval block was good enough, but the second turns out to be a usual cricket drama where the protagonist's team joins a tournament and competing against the ultimate antagonist in the finals. Ashok Selvan has been the main pillar of the movie. His performance was too good. Shanthanu gave a good performance for the character with some flaws in writing. Bhagavan perumal and prithvi who played the characters of Immanuel and Sam gave interesting and suprise performances. Govindh vasantha's 1 song was good and the background score was very good. Cinematography was not great but good enough. Positives are the performances of lead actors, character conflicts in the first half/the entire first half and mainly the dialogues. Negatives are the second half where there is no seriousness in the games after the first match and started to feel repetitive, and the Romance portions were started to feel unwanted after some time. 2nd half fails to speak the politics effectively that have been spoken in first half. On a whole, this a good movie with some flaws.

I saw this film today and initially I felt that maybe this film was another caste discrimination film but was pleasantly surprised about the way the caste differences were depicted. The humor elements are judiciously spread throughout the length of the film ensuring that the audience is hooked to storyline. The character who portrays Ashok Selvan's brother in the movie, has done a very commendable job and his performance was very memorable. Shantanu plays second fiddle to Ashok Selvan but has shown enough promise for people to expect him to play a solo hero role sometime in the future.

This will surely be a landmark film for Ashok Selvan as it is his first with his wife starring opposite him as the heroine.

So the movie is decent, the cricket scenes were really enjoyable... but the problem is with the plot itself. We've watched too many rural vs spoilt rich, oppressed vs oppressor, etc. Movies already, and this movie doesn't offer anything new in that aspect. It's the same old heroic village boys vs evil league players which is a trope that's been oversaturated at this point. The screenplay in my opinion (probably unpopular) was actually good enough to keep me engaged. The music is done well in this movie, and all the actors did their role pretty well.

This is a pretty decent One time watchable movie, so I guess give it a go if you're bored. (Barghav please don't hurt my family you did very well in the movie I beg you)

From name to climax Blue Particular political background Hero name -Ranjith Background ideology -all communal base.

Don't know why nowadays these people spoiling cinema field on communal base.. Everywhere using code..

All creating unnecessary contraversis obviously.

I don't know what they are trying to say in this story by keeping nonsense in the backyard..

Everyone should ignore these kind of movies Then only good production and genuine family movie will be directed.

Came out of theatre with disappointment where the film industry is heading towards.

If the same continues majority of people will stop coming to theatre..
