But I guess it is necessary to drive home the point of Karma.Ĭraft-wise, the film is very neat. In its attempt to finish things off with a bang, it goes for something one would expect to see in short films made by high-school students. Personally, I am not a fan of the ending, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's the aspect that impresses most people. The crowd quickly became restless and was jeering out loud. The over-confidence that 'everything will be alright and audience will forget the dull time they had when we show them our true colors' doesn't help the film's cause. The film heavily relies on its twist that it doesn't do proper justice to the tale it is spinning inside the haunted house. But if it was, then I must say they sorely failed at that. Thinking about it, I don't think spooking the audience was ever their intention. The only problem with the film is that its horror elements are caricaturish and fail to scare. But most importantly, the film incorporates all these tiny elements and comes up with an entirely original plot set very well in the heart of Chennai. There are sufficient nods to Kamal and Rajni as well for the first time since Aaranya Kaandam, they don't feel like throwaway references, just hoping to score a few whistles from the crowd. It is evident from the homages to Christopher Nolan, Bryan Singer and references to classic horror films including Kubrick's The Shining that the director is a pakka fanboy who grew up on a staple diet of American mind-bending thrillers. Even if it occasionally dabbles in clichxe9s, the film, on the whole, is a rather well-written thriller. It's hard to talk about a film like Pizza and not give away anything of importance.
It convinces you of one thing, and immediately shatters your belief. After giving an impression of a pulpy thriller from the promos, it starts off with a grainy, handheld segment giving off vibes of a found-footage film, only to become something entirely different in the scene that follows. Things take a turn for worse when he goes to deliver Pizza to a house where things are not as they seem. A non-believer when it comes to ghosts and spirits, Michael's moment of realisation comes when he notices his Boss's possessed daughter. Cutting all corners to make a living, the couple are forced to marry each other when Anu gets pregnant. Michael, played by Vijay Sethupathi, is a Pizza delivery guy living with his girlfriend Anu, an aspiring horror novelist. The result is a surprisingly good psychological thriller, Pizza. After Balaji Mohan's successful Kadhalil Sodhappuvadhu Yeppadi, it is ex-Software Engineer Karthik Subbaraj's turn to make a foray into the industry. This year Tamil cinema has seen the feature film debuts of two products of the popular reality show 'Naalaya Iyakunar'.
