Zebra

The core story that the film wants to convey and barely managed to is really good! It's interesting, has a lot of potential for a 2hrs 40mins runtime and sounds exciting on paper but in execution, it fails almost until the climax.

The screenplay is confusing and the pacing doesn't quite sit right. The dialogues are also a mixed bag, some good but mostly poor cheap dialogues.

The songs were so unnecessary and just killed all the interest but with the pacing they felt more like a break for the mind (although they were so bad I would want a break for the songs).

In terms of the editing, there are some cool elements with the character cards and the stages of the heist which kept it engaging and entertaining. Some of the comedy was alright - mainly Satya's comedy was enjoyable. But, some boring cheesy comedy that brought the film down. Again, unnecessary.

What annoyed me the most was the imitation in trying to be KGF - with the music (scored by Ravi so makes sense), screenplay(fast pacing) and the cinematography. Blatantly copied KGF. Could've been more original.

Nothing remarkable in terms of performances, I've seen better Satyadev action and movies.

Overall, it's a 5/10 for me, not great but not unbearably horrible either.

No words to describe about this movie. Every scene is a nail biting adventure, first of all Hats off to the story writer, what an amazing story you have show cased to us, satyadev sir just nailed the performance as usually, satya with his comedy proved again why he is so chosen for a purposeful character in every film. Adi character is win-win role,Thank you one and all who had contributed their hardwork by outcasting this content oriented engaging hot seater for every one. Each and every character has their own elevations and engaging screenplay of their presence. Once again thank you for making us entertained by show casing such amazing and engaging-suspense-thriller to the viewers.

Main Review: This movie is a masterpiece of 2024! With a gripping screenplay and unpredictable twists and turns, it keeps you on the edge of your seat. The way they ended the movie is deeply emotional.

Stellar Performances by Satyadev💥 and Dhananjay🔥

Satyadev Kancharana and Dhananjay deliver outstanding performances, making their acting and characterization the pillars of this movie. Dhananjay, after Pushpa, he gets the best role of his career here, portraying an inspiring and unforgettable character as Adhi.

Priya Bhavani Shankar, as usual, delivered her best, showcasing her signature style. In this movie, her acting was incredibly natural, and she played a pivotal role as the story begins with her character's mistake lead to move the story.

As for Satya, his comedy was spot-on and worked well for me.

The depth and authenticity they bring to their characters elevate the film, making it a must-watch

A must-watch for anyone seeking bank robery,drama, suspensive storytelling!

After the brilliance of Lucky Baskhar, Zebra feels like a massive step backward for the banking thriller genre. What should have been an intelligent heist film crumbles under the weight of fundamental misinformation about how banks actually operate.

Director Eashvar Karthic's screenplay is so riddled with banking inaccuracies that it becomes impossible to maintain any suspension of disbelief. Unlike Lucky Baskhar, which respected both its subject matter and audience intelligence, Zebra treats financial systems like convenient plot devices rather than real institutions with actual protocols.

Satyadev tries his best, but even solid performances can't salvage a script that doesn't understand its own premise. The film's technical ignorance isn't just sloppy filmmaking- it's insulting to viewers who expect basic research and authenticity.

Where Lucky Baskhar educated while entertaining, Zebra misinforms while boring. Thirty minutes was generous; this banking thriller needed better homework before attempting to school audiences on financial crime.

Rating: Unwatchable.

Extraordinary screen play extraordinary screen presence by Satyadev Dhananjay, over all it's blockbuster. Editor and Music Director did the great job. Satyaraj screen presence is so good, Satya Akala comedy is good, priyabhavani Shankar is done her job.

Zebra unravels a gripping tale of love and sacrifice, as characters tread the fine line between right and wrong in their quest for survival.
