Shangai - Movie - My view

               I didn’t have any impression on this movie when I first selected this movie and had no clue what this movie would be based on. Fortunately I had made a right choice to watch this. When we think of a thriller genre, there would definitely be a mystery to be disclosed at the end of the movie. But this one was an exception.

               This movie revolves around four people. IAS officer, a photographer, PHD doctor and his student. The main plot of the story is the murder of the doctor (hit by a truck) and IAS investigating the case to confirm that it’s an accident and submit a report. The doctor’s student is the person who gathers all the evidence to prove that it’s a planned murder and not an accident and photographer who helps this girl in this process. No we don’t have to wait till the last few minutes to know who the murderer but you know him right from the first scene. But how the IAS officer solves the puzzle by linking all the ends together makes it more interesting. And the way he handles it at the end is smart. And last 1 minute shows the pathetic state of our country which depicts even though we have smart people to bring out the truth there is no one left on the other side of the crime to take action on them.

                The screenplay is fast and making of the film demands applaud. Even though this is based on a foreign film, the director should definitely be appreciated for re-creating the magic. Though the plot seems to be dry, the screenplay has made it interesting. Everyone in the film has done their part to the point, not less or not more to what is required. The IAS officer being portrayed as a Tamizhiyan is another point for me to feel happy.

So don’t miss this film. You will never be disappointed.
