God Movie Review and Rating: Jayam Ravi and Nayanthara starrer God Movie released on October 13 (today) for the Telugu audiences.
Story: Arjun (Jayam Ravi) works as an Assistant Commissioner. He believes that it is right to kill the wrongdoers. Arjun takes on the responsibility of catching the killer Brahma (Rahul Bose). Arjun’s best friend Andrew (Narain) dies while trying to arrest the psycho killer Brahma. Even after catching the killer, the girls are not only kidnapped one after the other, they are brutally killed. Who actually kills them? Why is that psycho killer doing that? How Arjun caught them is the rest of the story.
Performance: Jayam Ravi has done full justice to the role of a very angry police officer. His performance in the role of a police officer who is desperate to save his loved ones from the clutches of a psycho killer is impressive. Nayanthara’s role in the film is short. Her character has no importance. Rahul Bose’s villainy and looks are good as a psycho killer. Vinod Kishan impresses in the negative shades role. Rest of the cast performed accordingly.
Technical: Music is the main weapon of thriller movies. Because it has less songs and has just background score. Yuvan Shankar Raja gave his 100% in this regard. Even though it is only a two hour movie, the second half felt very slow. It would have been better if the editor and director had discussed this matter more. Cinematography work is very good. Production values are good. It seemed that director Ahmed concentrated on the first half and left the second half. If there was a more tight screenplay, the movie would have definitely been impressive.
Analysis: Psycho killer stories are not new to the Telugu industry. Many movies have already come out in this format. But there is no such thing as a new story in such movies. It must be said that the director of God movie Ahmed was not completely successful in this regard. Ahmed told the already familiar story with a more routine screenplay. The story progresses slowly till the climax as he guesses who the villain is. The ending creates some interest but not the edge of the seat.
