Blackout

Why does a movie have to be 2 hours or more?

Why does a story writer, director and produces maximise output by restricting the movie length to the relevant plot.

Do they not realise that by adding 30 minutes they lose the movie ratings? I would have rated it 10 if the movie was at least 30 minted(last 30 minutes) shorter.

Actors- Vikrant and characters- Don, Thik Thak, Chacha, Mama are excellent.

The female lead is not ok. Face is plastic!!

The script is funny and excellent in the first half. The characterisation is excellent too.

But then the plot drops. Unnecessary songs, unnecessary poorly portrayed fight scenes lose the grip totally.

Watch for fun. Fast forward the second half.

Comedy movie yesterday watch' to hotstar and enjoying the movie Vikrant Massey shines as the harried Lenny, perfectly capturing his desperation and growing paranoia. Sunil Grover steals the show with his delightfully unhinged portrayal of Bewdya, offering genuine laugh-out-loud moments. The blackout creates a tense atmosphere, and the initial car crash sparks curiosity about the hidden secrets within the van.

The film tries to juggle too many characters and subplots, leading to a messy narrative that loses focus. The introduction of new characters in the second half feels forced, and some plot twists are predictable. Blackout attempts to be a dark comedy, but the humor lands inconsistently. The attempts at emotional drama also feel out of place. The camerawork and editing are serviceable but don't particularly stand out.

Honestly, this movie felt lackluster. The acting seemed exaggerated, and the storyline was all over the place. It revolves around a guy's unfortunate night, attempting humor but falling short. With Vikrant Massey and Sunil Grover leading, the dynamic didn't quite hit the mark for my taste in comedy. Mouni Roy's inclusion felt unnecessary, as did most of the side characters. The plot lacked direction and excitement, despite its attempts at mystery drama. The only captivating aspect was the revealing inside the box, which unfortunately was predictable. Overall, it left me questioning its purpose.

One time watch for sure , Movie becomes boring after first halt, Sunil Grovers character feels weak , Mouni Roy was just there for eye candy , could have done much better with this story , Vikrant Messy delivered promising performance. They lost the fun theme in middle of movie and after that it was some flat boring predictable storyline. Unnecessary characters and unnecessary songs and emotional drama. Feels like certainly not touching and convincing enough. Good end though. Some good punches in the first half , good laughter at initial many points but ran flat after that. Overall a one time watch movie.

So yesterday night I went for this 'Blackout' movie which turned out to be a surprise element in Dark Comedy genre in recent time. At first let me tell you that, it was quite enjoyable for young mass with some situational comedies of a night, but somewhere lacking to became a memorable movie. So I will consider it as One time Watch kind of category or you can avoid it as well.

The Acting performance of Vikrant Massey was brilliant, he just nailed his role. Other Tik-Tok Characters also played their parts brilliantly. Mouni Roy's acting was nothing here ; you can skip it. She just added as a glamour in this movie for 15-20min. The show stealer performance was given by Sunil Grover Sir. The way he was introduced and the way he was finished the role was quite brilliant to discuss. Those Golden Gun fight sequence from the Car and his facial expression while car chasing was definitely worth appreciation.

The background scores were quite brilliant. Screenplay was tight and gripping. Editing was top notch to just 2hrs. So overall in technical POV, Movie is nice to watch for one time. From my side it will be 6 out of 10 Stars for it. You can go with family as well.
