Abhishek Nama first produced the film “Devil” with Kalyan Ram as the protagonist. This thriller film made in the background of the British government came to the audience today (December 29) after facing many ups and downs. And let’s see what level the movie is..!!
Story: The British Intelligence Agency gets involved in a murder case in Rasapadu.. to deal with the case, the Devil (Kalyan Ram) is brought into the field. At the same time, the British intelligence learned that Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose was coming to India and a man named Trivarna was going to help him.. and planned to capture Netaji alive. What is the relationship between Raspadu and Netaji? Why is the devil involved? Who is the original tricolour? Did the British government capture Netaji? The film “Devil” is the answer to such interesting questions.
Actors Performance: Kalyan Ram lives the devil character with his looks & mannerisms. The care taken in his attire adds more value to the character & story. Samyukta Menon not only looked beautiful for the first time but also proved that she could act by making some gestures. She did justice to the weightage of the role. Malvika Nair has done well in the powerful character of Manimekhala. Her performance is a plus point for the movie. Kannada actor Vashishta Simha entertains in NegiTV Rollo. Shafi, Ajay, Ammu Abhirami and others have done justice to their roles.
Technical performance: Sounder Rajan’s cinematography work is a major asset of the film. He was able to show the conditions of the 1940s on a very limited budget. Also, the way the action blocks are screened is good. Harshavardhan Rameshwar’s background music & songs are good. Production design, costumes, artwork etc. are all under the budget. It must be said that most of them have been well-managed.
Director Abhishek Nama (?) falters at many places in handling the story-words screenplay composed by Srikanth Vissa. Even though there are lots of twists & mass elements in the screenplay, releasing some of them in the trailer itself has become a minus. If you look at the scenes, the movie is good, but if you look at it as a whole, it is boring in many places without proper connectivity.
Analysis: If you can ignore the loopholes in the screenplay, it can be said that “Devil” is a mildly impressive movie. If not… Kalyan Ram would have got another super hit if he had been more careful in terms of logic & editing.
Rating: 2/5
