'Pizza' Tamil movie Review

So this post would be my thoughts on the Tamil movie 'Pizza'. I happened to watch the teaser trailers while lazing on my couch last Sunday afternoon. It was made on a shoestring budget and raked in many positive reviews as well as $$. So when I was watching snippets of the movie being shown on TV, it got me interested, However, it wasn't compelling enough to make me want to watch it. The screenplay seemed terse and somehow,laconic. The teaser gave me the idea that 'Pizza' was a 'horror movie told in an artsy way' kind of film. But thank goodness, I watched it yesterday on DVD. No wonder, the film received many rave reviews.

It was a pleasant surprise and refreshing to watch. I realised that I couldn't leave my seat. The movie though of horror/thriller genre,lulled me to a stillness. Heck, even my parents and I were calmly seated at our couches watching the plot unravel.

There were unexpected twists in the movie.What was made to be a convincing story actually reveals to be something more. A combination of both horror and interesting plot, the movie was a deviation from the normal psychological thriller type. During the movie, I was already making up theories and several plausible endings in my head. But none,I tell you was close enough to how it really ended.The last scene though was an irony and I found it funny. Don't want to say too much or this review have to be renamed 'Pizza' Spoilers.

What I like about this movie was that, it didn't have to have sleazy scenes or raunchy dance numbers to promote it. The story itself,does more justice.Though I think the screenplay and the narration could have been improved on, it is an appreciable attempt by debutant director,Karthik Subbaraju.It is being remade in Bollywood and there are talks that Hollywood producers might make an adaptation of the film. Our thalaivar,Sir Rajini Kanth was impressed by the movie as well.So you do the math. All in all, an interesting movie, a GOOD watch! I suggest you go rent it as soon as possible or borrow it or whatever. Just watch. My ratings... 3.8/5
