Nayanthara's CONNECT fails to impress the audience, and best to avoid it; Know more inside!
Nayanthara is one actress who gives pleasure to the eyes to watch on screen. But she failed to impress her fans with her recently released film, Connect. It is a Covid-centric horror movie where the actress is often seen as very missing and distraught. Her lack of interest and distress is disturbing to the audience. Maybe it was because she played the role of a mother during quarantine, and her teenage daughter gets "haunted" by an evil spirit. Or maybe she is concerned about the film because her husband produces it.
The film Connect:-
Connect, an incongruously titled film fails to link with the audience. No doubt the film is well-shot. Cinematographer Manikantan Krishmachary captured the dark corners of a normal home, giving them an evil design. The Malayalam film, 'Bhoothakaalam' discovered sinister places in a routine home with far more authority, skill, and scariness.
In the film, strangers have to pretend that they are amused to watch such horrifying things and are involved, even though they are getting bored.
The film seems to put Nayanthara at the plan's fundamental to sufficient bait for audiences to grasp the touchy practice. Whereas, Sathyaraj and Anupam Kher try hard to stay sincere and dedicated. Apart from the girl being haunted, the screenplay has little motivation for the audience's participation beyond the obligatory jumpscares and eerie music, in addition to edified nuisance value.
The film is pierced with contradictions. Who is the evil spirit to have entered Anna's body? Why is the first priest brought in for the dispossession earlier Anupam's character if not to buy time in a pencil-thin plot? No description, no foundation, and zero involvement. While Sathyaraj's performances are all surprising and puzzling, Nayanthara's concerns remain largely cosmetic.
