Dont agree annai, there is no innovation by any standards, its a standard flat movie, Aparichitudu lo vese sikshalu innovative ante agreed, here no chance...its a plain revenge formula... Cinema lo problems: 1. More length on disfigured character - not bearable on screen if there are so many shots on deglamour...Bhairava Dweepam lo kooda 20 mins undi baaguntundi, and immediately sree tumbura narada song lo Balayya babu looks extremely glamorous, here movie ends on same note 2. Artificiality of villians - Transgender akkarledu normal lady ayyindochu, but antha kasi penchukunenta kanapadaledu, Aa Mallya type lo unde businessman di too much artificial, Body builder di believable, Model di OK, rest all over anipinchindi 3. Jaali kalagaalsina chota aa make up tho jugupsa kaligelaa chesaadu, anni close ups enduko asalu | ||

Watched I yesterday @ VA. Certainly not the best movie from Shankar/Vikram. Hall lo around 60-70 folks. Some good elements and some not so good elements in the movie. Thumbs up - Vikram is simply brilliant. He deserves a huge applause for his commitment and dedication. His look changes from a body builder, model, lean and waning individual suffering from a virus attack and finally a hunchback. He also appears as a werewolf in a song. He suited each and every look to the T. As an actor, Vikram, who has already garnered name and fame as one of the most natural and talented actors of India, will only reiterate the fact all over again with his unbelievable dedication evident in each and every frame of the movie. - Amy Jackson is smoking hot and extremely glamorous in the movie. Her onscreen chemistry with Vikram is worth watching. - This is an extremely unique story treatment where the heros introduction shot is that of a hunchback with a totally disfigured face and body. 'I' is a typical revenge story but told in an innovative way by Shankar. - The production and technical standards are just brilliant. - Song picturization is very rich and conceptual. I especially liked the canvas, locales and shots for all the songs. Thumbs down - The fight sequences are a bit long. - Second half is predictable and lacks elements of surprise/thrill with the exception of Suresh Gopis character. - Nativity issues: This film is bound to suffer from nativity issues especially with regard to Indian audience from B/C centers. -- In one the songs, the lead pair appear as a werewolf and an angel. Basically, the heroine is an angel (beauty) while the hero is a disfigured guy (beast). The song is about the pain the hero faces that he is distanced to his sweetheart. -- In another episode, when the transgender stylist cries at the rejection of love proposal by the hero, the audience reaction seemed to be more of an awkward feeling than a feeling of sympathy for the character. I could not help but wonder why the character could not have been a normal girl. - The revenge thread was intelligently narrated. However the aftermath appearances of villains will certainly make Indian audience squirm. In the US, where the society follows cartoon & fictional characters, it is easier to relate strange looking characters. For instance, after being burnt, one of the villains looks like Mr. Mucus from ad film for the Mucinex (a cold medicine in the US). However, audience from India may not relate so easily to odd appearances. I certainly has its moments. It is certainly not the best movie of Shankar or Vikram. It does not have the universal appeal of their previous outing either. Despite its shortcomings, I is watchable for Vikram and his unbelievable dedication, rich production/technical values and Shankars directorial sparkles (at times) in this magnum opus. |
