O2 Movie Review: Logic be damned in Nayanthara's survival drama – India Today
Through the years, Nayanthara has spearheaded many women-centric movies. Not each movie turned out to be an enormous hit in comparison with her industrial entertainers. However, that doesn’t cease our Woman Celebrity from selecting extra such ventures in her profession. Director GS Viknesh’s O2 is one such movie, made with the only real intention of creating a survival drama with a feminine lead. Nonetheless, O2 lacks finesse and the so-called twists and turns destroy your entire expertise. In some cases, it makes you ask, why me?
O2 revolves round a bunch of people that get trapped in a landslide whereas they’re on their manner from Coimbatore to Cochin. Parvathy (Nayanthara) is a single mother to 8-year-old Veera (Rithvik), who suffers from cystic fibrosis. Because of this Veera can breathe correctly with the assistance of an oxygen cylinder. Equally, there’s a pair ready to elope, an en-MLA (RNR Manohar), a corrupt police officer (Bharath Neelakandan), a bus driver (Aadukalam Murgadoss) and some others.
After they get trapped inside a bus in a landslide, all of them undergo completely different feelings. Whereas on the point of demise, folks change and the evil inside them is unleashed. Will Nayanthara and her son escape on time? What is going to occur to the remainder?
O2 has a very good premise for a survival drama. However, the proceedings are so juvenile that typically it makes you need to snort out loud, even in critical moments. Because the movie begins, Parvathy talks about how Mom Nature could be ruthless when provoked. Each scene that follows the introduction has a callback within the second half of the movie. Ideally, it ought to all come collectively and make you anxious for the trapped folks. The most important downside is that you just don’t really feel for the characters. Every thing feels disconnected because the sequences look synthetic.
This is the trailer of O2:
O2 can also be a movie that reveals that audiences are taken without any consideration. When all the opposite characters in a specific scene gasp for breath, Nayanthara doesn’t. When the tip is close to, Nayanthara’s Parvathy hallucinates and feels breathless as a consequence of lack of oxygen. Lastly! A few of the altercations between bus passengers are so awful that it makes you roll your eyes.
Regardless of making you sit for 2 hours, it offers you a climax that makes cartoons look higher. Logic be damned. Lip-sync be damned and even screenplay be damned on this lacklustre movie.
What holds the movie collectively are the performances of Nayanthara, little Rithvik and Aadukalam Murugadoss. Bharath Neelakandan’s character invokes irritation, however that is also due to the function he performs.
Cinematography by Tamizh A Azhagan, music by Vishal Chandrasekar and enhancing by Selva RK add some depth to O2. However, the sub-par VFX is off-putting, identical to the lip-sync.
Nayanthara’s O2 might have been an attention-grabbing survival thriller. Nonetheless, the movie falters to a bigger extent due to its uninteresting screenplay.
1.5 stars out of 5 for O2.
O2 will premiere on Disney+ Hotstar from June 17 onwards.
