#ANNABELLE 2 REVIEW MOVIE#

Radikaa Sarathkumar gets to channel Yogi Babu in a scene and it is fun to see the veteran act in a comic role. Things get somewhat better in the second half, with Vijay Sethupathi and Taapsee making a broadly written romance work. Here, in trying to keep things light at all times, the director takes away every hint of drama, so even tragic moments do not affect us as they should. Perhaps, the idea was to make the film appeal to kids, like the Muni franchise, which, despite its faults, also has strong melodrama to ensure that the adults are engaged as well. Unfortunately, much of the humour in the film is of this kind. This is something that should have been instantly funny on screen, but going by the way it is directed, it only comes across as childish. But all that the former can see is a sword that's after him, which only doubles his fear. He runs away in panic, and Chetan, realising that he has scared the guy, runs after him, apologising for scaring him. But all that Rajendra Prasad can see is a sword fighting him on its own. Unfortunately for him, Chetan and Devadarshini, who are ghosts, happen to be in the very same room, and seeing him with a sword, Chetan, who was royalty when he was alive, decides to join him. Take the scene in which Rajendra Prasad, who plays one of the thieves, prances around a room with a sword thinking he is all alone. It relies solely on the actors, who are sporting enough to act ridiculously, to make the scenes funny. The film is filled with flatly-directed scenes that lack the rhythm that comedy needs. However, the trouble is that all these remain exciting only as ideas.

A climax that doesn't involve the clichГ©d ghost-getting-its-revenge idea. The extravagant lifestyle of the kings of the yesteryears. A romance between two individuals who are from different cultures and speak different languages. A protagonist who has past-life regressions, but isn't too bothered by them. An extraordinary palace that has been built by experts from different continents. At a conceptual level, this is an interesting take to have for a film with ghosts, and the rest of Annabelle Sethupathi, too, has many ideas that are good on paper. In fact, they are ghosts who do not want to scare away the people who enter their place. In fact, the ghosts in the place are actually ones looking for salvation.

Even though the film involves ghosts, a palace and a bunch of comedians, it is not a horror comedy, like the Aranmanai franchise. Rated 14A and is 109 minutes long.At the outset, let's make it very clear that Annabelle Sethupathi is not your typical pei padam. Annabelle: Creation gets 3 out of 5 pieces of popcorn. The film also boasts the distinction of being a much stronger feature than its rather forgettable predecessor from three years ago.Дespite a familiar plot and several genre clichГ©s, this chilling thriller provides some genuine scares and nestles nicely into the successful Conjuring franchise. Yet, a permeating sense of female empowerment, given the lack of a hunky male character who saves the day, is refreshing.

When it comes to story, the movie plays it fairly straightforward with not a lot of twists or surprises to be found. However, some of the comedy is deliberate and it actually serves to lighten the otherwise grim affair. In one instance, the house occupants survive yet another terrifying encounter but, instead of getting the hell out of there, they just decide to go upstairs and get ready for bed. Granted, Creation definitely has its fair share of unintentional laughs and plot points that strain credulity.
