A Campus Drama with a Twist
So, there’s this new movie buzzing around, “Por,” directed by Bejoy Nambiar. It’s your typical college drama but with a twist. Think friendships, rivalries, and a whole lot of drama, but with some serious issues thrown into the mix.
Meet the Gang
Alright, picture we’ve got Yuva, played by Kalidas Jayaram, and his nemesis, Prabhu, played by Arjun Das. Then there’s Gayatri, Vennila, and Surya, all with their own stories to tell. Oh, and don’t forget Sanchana Natarajan, adding her charm to the mix.
An Overloaded Plot
Now, here’s where things get interesting. Nambiar, the director who brought us “Shaitan” and “David,” decided to tackle a bunch of heavy topics in one go. We’re talking caste issues, LGBTQ+ representation, politics – you name it, “Por” tries to cover it.
Does It Hit the Mark?
Well, let’s just say it’s a mixed bag. While the cast does their best to keep us hooked, the storyline feels a bit all over the place. With so many characters and storylines crammed in, it’s like trying to juggle too many balls at once.
Verdict:
“Por” isn’t your typical popcorn flick. It’s got its heart in the right place, but it’s like biting off more than it can chew. Sure, the soundtrack adds some flair, but it’s not enough to save the day.
In a Nutshell
So, should you check out “Por”? Well, if you’re in the mood for something different and don’t mind a bit of chaos, then why not? Just don’t go in expecting a masterpiece, and you might just enjoy the ride.
