Idiot Movie Review
Rambhala’s horror-comedy offers a few jokes by bringing in some crazy characters. Down goes our Idiot Movie Review.
Director Rambhala struck his shot at fame with Santhanam’s jolly entertainers in the Dhillukku Dhuddu series, and he is now back with his next film in the form of Idiot.
Idiot brings together the concept of intellectually disabled people from a hospital running into a house of ghosts and the incidents that take place inside. The film gives us a back story at the start and then explains how the people land up at the haunted house and get face-to-face with the ghosts. The concept is surely interesting but the film takes too long to get to the haunted house and is busy with the other types of comedy that it pulls in. There is far too much of a stretch in the first half, and the film gets mostly tiring in the second half too with a lot of subplots coming into the fore.
Despite its flaws, the main thing that keeps the film flowing is the pair of Shiva and Redin Kingsley who both manage to tickle the funny bone from time to time and bring out a few laughs.
In a film packed with a lot of insane characters who behave in their own ways, Nikki Galrani’s character is the saviour. The rest of the cast do not create much of an impact.
Technically too, Idiot is a basic film with Vikram Selva’s chords resembling horror-comedies that came out 5 years ago.
Toting up, Idiot is an average horror-comedy that does not have much going for it, and is busy having rhyming jokes, lame ripostes and the likes. Idiot Movie Review by Only Kollywood
