A horror-comedy created in a world of ‘Idiots’

Rambhala, the director of Fool, assumes {that a} horror comedy is a straightforward style that anybody may pull off, however he fails. Proper from the start, the movie just isn’t certain of its stance, swaying between spoof and comedy of errors. This wavering try makes it a tedious look ahead to the viewers, affecting the stream of the movie. Identified for his quirky dialogues from his Lollu Sabha days, the director tries to overdo it, which isn’t simply regressive in some locations but in addition spoils the temper.

The movie begins off like a interval drama with a royal household being betrayed by their two subordinates, Sethupathi and Senathipathi. Inside a couple of minutes, we get to see Chinnarasu (Shiva) and his household, who reside in a village known as Veerapandiyan. Chinnarasu typically manufacturers his father Rasu Gounder (Anandaraj) an fool, as a consequence of his ignorance. We then get launched to Smitha (Nikki Galrani), who’s a health care provider and runs a psychiatric hospital.

Later, we study that Chinnarasu and Smitha are the descendants of Sethupathi and Senathipathi. Unbelievable sequences carry them collectively and we see a reunion of ghosts on the Zameen’s mansion. From there, a chaotic journey begins, which is neither humorous nor even participating.

We additionally get to see one other character, Neelakandi (Akshara Gowda), who needs to take Smitha’s life to revive her lover. Neelakandi’s flashback will get added put up interval, however doesn’t add any worth to the storyline. Will Neelakandi obtain her mission or not types the remainder of the story.

From the very starting, Rambhala’s horror comedy poses as a spoof, referring to scenes from movies like Suriyavamsam, Ghilli, Endhiran, and even the teaser of Vikram. Although the thought appears okayish, many of the one-liners land badly and a few of them are outdated, too. The scenes during which Shiva performs a mentally unwell individual are ingenious for one thing that is written for a protagonist, however they do not assist the movie at giant.

Regardless of all this, we watch for at the very least one good character who’s sane and contributes for the higher. This could be Rambhala’s intention as properly — to create a world of ‘idiots’. However solely disappointment surrounds us. At one level, even ghosts get objectified and insensitive jokes are cracked right here and there.

Shiva, as traditional, carries his character in a refined approach and tries his greatest to evoke laughter among the many viewers. However given the plot, he has no scope in any respect to carry out. Nikki Galrani and Urvashi, who performs Anandaraj’s spouse, carry out properly and make the movie considerably watchable.

With respect to the background rating, it is extremely typical and at occasions, it appears like a rehash of music from different widespread movies. Cinematography and enhancing add worth to it, aside from the continuity, which once more, is out of sync proper from the phrase go.

General, Fool is a under common movie that might have explored a brand new side of this style with higher writing sensibilities. However once more, we must wait till a correct movie comes out of this style.
