Well-intentioned film let down by cliches, predictability
V3 Film Evaluation: Filmmakers usually have a tendency to make use of sexual abuse as a software to dramatise occasions and evoke feelings in viewers. Although the intentions are principally good, staging such sequences usually may normalise the horrendous act they’re coping with. V3 (Vindhya Sufferer Verdict), directed by Amudhavanan, revolves across the encounter of 5 children, who’re believed to have raped and murdered an harmless woman.
Whereas there are a number of intriguing moments, the movie’s narrative is a tad gradual and the emotional sequences fail to hit us exhausting sufficient.
The movie begins with the human rights fee taking on the case of 5 children who’re ‘encountered’ by the police division for allegedly raping and murdering an harmless woman, Vindhya (Paavana). They appoint Sivagami (Varalaxmi), an ex-IAS officer, to interrogate the officers in-charge of this encounter and discover out what had truly occurred to Vindhya, the rape sufferer.
What follows is a sequence of revelations that shock Sivagami and the dad and mom of the children, who died within the encounter.
V3 neither tries to be an emotional drama nor an investigative thriller. Whereas we expect Sivagami goes to unravel one thing massive, all she does is hearken to the confessions of people who find themselves affected by the incident. However this goes on and on ceaselessly.
The sequences and the occasions that unfold are uninventive and do not allow us to join with the characters concerned. The ultimate revelations aren’t startling sufficient because the staging within the preliminary sequences itself provides us a touch on what the author is upto. A couple of sequences within the second half, during which the sufferer’s father (Aadukalam Naren) and his youthful daughter Viji (Ester Anil) narrate their plight, is heart-melting although.
If Sivagami’s interrogation scenes had been revolutionary and fascinating, the movie would have fared nicely. Varalaxmi’s display screen area could be very minimal and there is not any scope for her to carry out. Each Ester Anil and Aadukalam Narein have delivered their greatest.
Allen Sabastin’s music and Siva Prabhu’s cinematography have complemented the movie nicely. V3 is a well-intentioned movie, however destroys itself as a consequence of predictability and drab execution.
