The much-awaited film “Indrudu” has hit the screens today.
It is the Telugu dubbed version of the Tamil movie “Naan Sigappu Manithan”. The
movie doesn’t have big stars or other commerical elements. Yet it was being
projected as a commercial entertainer. To find out the fate of the movie, Read
Indrudu Review.
Story :
Indran (Vishal) suffers from Narcolepsy (a sleep disorder
that forces him to fall asleep whenever he experiences extreme emotion) since
birth. He grows up to be totally dependent on his mother (Saranya)and is unable
to travel anywhere without her support.
Saranya desperately wants to get her son married. But it is
not possible for Indran to have an intimate relationship because these powerful
emotions will invariably trigger his sleeping disorder.
Meera (Lakshmi Menon), daughter of a rich business tycoon
(Jayaprakash) comes into his life and gives it a new meaning. Her father is
against the match though, as he fears that his daughter will not be able to
bear children if she marries Indran. But Meera is determined and together they
discover that Indran never falls asleep despite all provocation under water
This leads to them experimenting in a swimming pool, where
they eventually get intimate and Meera gets pregnant.
Fate delivers a cruel blow to the couple just when they thought
all was good. Meera gets gang-raped brutally while Indran is helplessly asleep.
How Indran, who has absolutely no clue to the identity of
these men, finds them and avenges his beloved, who is lying in a coma, forms
the rest of the story. Quite intriguing, indeed.\
Performances and Technical Aspects :
Vishal as Indran, has delivered a commendable performance.
It’s certainly not easy to essay the character he did. His frequent collapsing
appears absolutely natural with no superfluous theatrics. Kudos to the director
for bringing out the best in him.
Lakshmi Menon plays her part perfectly. Her depiction of
pain in the gang rape scene deserves a special mention.
Saranya, who plays the quintessential adorable mother of
Indran, gets into the skin of character and is delightful to watch.
Director Thiru is the hero of the movie. His intelligent
screenplay keeps the audience totally engrossed till the very end. In the
absence of big stars, he ensures that the movie keeps the audiences on the edge
of the seat.
The screenplay of the movie, though novel, is quite patchy.
Poor editing too!
Music by G V Prakash is excellent, creating the right
ambience and intensifying the emotions of the characters.
Richard’s cinematography is impressive especially in scenes
where we see the use of hand-held camera.
