Brilliance of “I”- Shankar’s Magic on Screen

First and foremost I condemn(my opinion, posted below in detail why I do condemn) all the reviewers who simply told its the weakest film of Shankar, not so good story line. If you want only masala movies to review or a superb story line with twists and turns, Shankar might have disappointed you, but its not the normal genre of South Indian( Tamil & Telugu ) cinema that “I ” belongs to. Its a film for technical brilliance, its a film for extra ordinary visuals, its a film for brilliant acting, a film for excellent music, when all these ingredients are there, why look for other things!

I am not going to narrate the story here. Simply I am posting the values of the movie,which are more important than a story or twists in the story.

1. A Simple and clean straight screenplay- Making the viewers understand the movie is what about without any second thought.

2. Technical brilliance in terms of every aspect from location selection to the Computer graphics and visual effects.

3. Pin pointing dialogues , simple and clean in nature making the viewer not get bored.

4. Brilliance in acting from all the cast – Vikram surely deserves a national award for this. If this movie is made in English, he might get nominated to the academy awards for best actor too.

5. Its more of a concept based technical brilliance movie rather than a complex story based movie. Its widely followed in Hollywood, a simple concept made into a full length movie.

6. Story told in an awesome way, much better than many Hollywood movies.

7. Stunts picturisation in the best possible way.

What else you need for a movie? If a twist and tale story with mass masala elements are there, will it make a good movie if everything is too artificial?

The way Vikram has moulded himself for the character itself is sufficient to watch this movie once, for Shankar’s magnum opus once,and for technology once and for the rest once.

Those who want only over dramatic, action packed movies, please keep that away from your mind and watch for the brilliance of this movie and you will get entertained.
