24 (2016)

"24" as the title explicit the movie is related to time-travel concept it's worthy to watch as it's a thrilling one.even the title itself is closely related to the story.It is totally an new concept introduced to the Indian Film industry for that director has got full credits.He has purely scripted the movie with a thrilling story line which can be enjoyed for a child to aged person on the same way.Even though it's a fictional approach story line keeps the audience truly to believe that we can travel through time .This movie has also set records in opening days and equally got great positive reviews from the critics.An movie with such a concept with lots of thrilling moments is something awesome and worthy to watch.Do not miss for the ones who watch movies it's really an great work from the director as well from the all technical team and the brilliant acting from hero Surya. The villain character from Surya is just mind blowing one.

Fmovies: Note: the write-up is based on the 2 hours 34 minutes trimmed version that is currently being played in theaters.

The film is trimmed, Well trimmed indeed. Right through the 154 minutes run time, The film is filled with lots of 'Disney' like fun moments that will be enjoyed by the kids and you wont be annoyed accompanying them.

The 'Actor Surya' who has been lately trying hard to become 'Entertainer Suriya' seems to be back in a well executed film. Suriya trying to select different kinds of scripts was clearly evident through his previous films but the script which looked good in paper was never executed well in the screen and this is the only factor why 24 as a film is a well made comeback film. Talking about the execution, Suriya plays three different characters and each character seems to be a break up for three different kinds of audience.

Mani- The jolly go lucky -romantic guy who is enjoyed by the family audience.

Sethuraman- The typical 'for the critic' written guy who runs the plot of the film.

Athreya- The stylish villain who keeps the boys excited throughout the run time.

These break up of characters have done wonders in the film to satisfy whole of the audience and this is the reason why I call this as a 'Pakka Masala' product.

(Taking about me calling this film a 'Pakka Masala product' and if you find this offensive try finding another alternative word for a Sci-Fic film like this containing some totally unwanted romance and misplaced songs, From Thani Oruvan i have been complaining about this and I'm already tired) Right from the film Manam director Vikram Kumar seems to never get the romantic scenes right. It will mostly end up has a half written and half swallowed lines but his brilliance as a writer is rightly shown in the place where he should be appreciated for. His writing and linking of each characters to the story shows his intelligence. Sometimes it makes you complain about the co incidence but believe me it is never easy to link all characters to one plot.

There are different versions of Time travel and as time travel never been proved or experienced you are forced to accept the directors version of time travel. If you have a friend who sees different kinds of films and is comparing each film and finding faults, its high time you ask the nerd to shut up.

According to my knowledge the directors version of time travel is simple, well written and presented. Leaving those love scenes aside the screenplay is well written and even a little bit of annoyance will make you miss some twists. Vikram Kumar seems to be playing a intelligent game with the audience, every time you expect the character to reveal something he fools you and shows you how intelligent his characters are. I bet you can never predict those 'I got it right' moments and it is one of the reasons why the film is never a bore.

Samantha is adorable in each scene and Saranya as usual does the mother role at her best. Talking about the characters in the film, There are around 5 important characters and in which 3 of them are being played by Surya himself :P still you never get bored, Even the style of crying seems to be different for each character.

Another brilliance in the movie is the visual effects. The moments of keys, the inside of the watch and the rain sequence (my favorite ) isn't an immature work. Kudos to the cinematographer and VFX TEAM.

As said before you will never be annoyed

This movie possess everything:

• Strong story base

• Sci-fi fantasy

• Romance, though below par from the standard of entire movie

• Deadly villain

• Unexpected twists

• Family drama

• perfect logic loops

A once in a decade kind of film, very carefully handled in terms of screenplay and direction. The movie starts in a typical sci-fi way, then slowly takes you into a roller-coaster ride with some unimaginable and unpredictable destinations.

Cinematography & VFX deserves a special mention as this film could have been nothing without this team.

In a sci-fi film, you cannot think of songs to gel up with the pace of the film, but here, they were awesomely handled. BGM, out of word - Rahman rules all over.

Its triple role for Surya as Athreya/Mani/Sethuraman and he rules the entire movie with his performance. The antagonist Athreya is on top of the rest.

Amidst a completely occupied screen space for the lead actor, Samantha and Nithya Menon have got decent roles and they have done their parts well.

The movie do have a few glitches in the first half, but they are completely negligible for its 'never seen before' kind of feel, when your anticipation goes wrong all the time.

Verdict: Just go for it...!

24 fmovies. Must watch film.... Everything is perfect in this movie. Being a science fiction film, it is also fun to watch. Watched it in the first day of release(first show too), the theater response was crazy! Positive reviews everywhere,movie is just awesome. It is filled with sentiments, humor and twists. There were twists and thrills till the very end! No single scene seemed boring. Songs are amazing and lovely too. Every scene gives you goosebumps. It is not like other south Indian films. Screenplay is extraordinary. Dialogues are unique. Don't guess any scenes while watching movie because the next scene will be entirely different from your guess! Villain character rocked with no cigar, alcohol or vulgar words. Best movie so far

24, One of the India's exceptionally crafted has turned the Film Industry equal to Hollywood. Excellent Screenplay, Excellent BGM, Excellent Cast. Last but not least, watch this in theatres for Suriya sir because his role as a villain is amazing and you would literally love a villain for the first time. Hats off to the Director Vikram K Kumar sir for this beautifully crafted film. There would be some scenes which may test the viewers patience and some scenes which would really take you into the movie......Go in with zero expectations and come back with full of satisfaction.....After a year from Masssss....Suriya is back n 3 forms....Dr.Sethu, Mani and the best of all, Athreya The Bad......!!!

Story is an clean and well explained Surya acting steals the movie Thiruu has done a best part in this movie Vfx is equal to Hollywood range... Samantha cute expression is awsm.. Nithya comes in a small part and gave her 100%.... As usual saranya mothers role has added nice sentiment btwn son and mother in the film ARR music was At top notch... Vikram Kumar the king of the film...

The only problem is that Surya repeat the same dialog again and again... Vikram could have avoided that..

. NOTE: movie time is gonna be reduced to 164 min to 154 min hopefully Vikram should cut the repeating dialog in it...and worth for money

A nice movie all worked 100% in it..and the movie is 100% awsm..
