Inconsistent writing lets down this well-made film

Ward 126 Film Overview: Crime thrillers primarily based on abuse and violence in opposition to ladies are usually not one thing new to Tamil cinema. A handful of movies have handled these matters and Ward 126 can be concerning the lives of few ladies and the way the entry of a person causes havoc of their lives and dashes their desires.

Debutant director Selvakumar Chellapandian’s movie proceeds as a correct investigative crime thriller until the intermission and later transforms into an underwhelming revenge drama.

Within the very first scene, we witness the cold-blooded homicide of IT skilled Gokul (Michael Thangadurai), in Chennai. Because the police begin investigating, they get to know surprising particulars about Gokul’s (who can be known as Krishna and Kannan) private life they usually additionally find out about a chain-snatching incidents that occurred in the identical lane on that very day. Virtually half an hour into the movie, we study that the sufferer had a number of marital relationships.

Whereas all these kind an attention-grabbing first half, the second half takes us into the lifetime of a pregnant girl, Rossie (Shritha Sivadas), who fell prey to the chain-snatching incident and the way she is linked to the sufferer.

Ward 126 surprises typically with its making. The primary half of the movie, which proceeds as an investigative thriller, is kind of partaking and raises our expectation, promising that we’re all set for an attention-grabbing trip. Nevertheless, with respect to the writing, the second half is a big let down. It will get troublesome for us to hook up with the actual victims and their motive as just a few essential characters get launched to us solely within the latter half of the movie. The intention of the director is certainly laudable, however the the structuring of the screenplay might have been higher, particularly in direction of climax. The dialogues, nevertheless, are fairly good and ship out a powerful message.

The romantic sequences put up intermission additionally spoil the narrative circulate as its utterly in distinction with tone of the earlier sequences. Chandini, Vidya Pradeep, and Sonia Agarwal, who play Micheal’s wives, haven’t got a lot scope to carry out and seem just for a couple of minutes within the movie. Nevertheless, Shritha Sivadas seems for an prolonged time period within the second half and her efficiency is spectacular. The technical features of the movie are means too good and it manages to catch our consideration proper from the phrase go. The circulate of photographs are natural and do not look cluttered, due to the cinematographer SK Suresh Kumar.

General, Ward 126 is a good watch and is partaking in components.
