Thanks
to the producers of ‘Click’
who wasted little money on its marketing,
the experience of movie viewing was really
scary, being in an empty theatre-that
is. After we started describing Ram Gopal
Verma as the Hitchcock of Bollywood (Obviously,
before his ‘Aag’ Fiasco),
Mani Ratnam as the Scorsese of Indian
film Industry, we are proud to refer the
name of Mr.Sangeeth Sivan as the Dr.Uwe
Boll of India. As after many attempts
he has finally hit the bull’s eye
- the perfect bad movie.
‘Click’ is a remake of the
Thai megahit ‘Shutter’, which
had seen a Tamil and English version before.
So to be exact Sangeeth Sivan got three
movies to refer too, but Sivan had decided
to change a few intricacies to suit the
desi mindset and withhold the scary parts.
The thought of putting something original
onto the production of a remake is praise-worthy,
but Sangeeth messes it up big time. The
little bit of logical reasoning behind
the original movie was taken out of this

movie
completely. The biggest plus point of the original
was the eeriness that the movie possessed whenever
it wasn't trying to scare. And here the eeriness is
completely a miss and the scare was too lame to be
termed that.
The story is about the hidden past of a photographer
trying to crawl back into his life with vengeance.
Forgot to add - and the baddies get hurt, in their
throat, and the hero on his shoulder.
There is nothing to talk more about the movie as it
is just complete nonsensical. And for the first time
ever there was nothing worth mentioning too. Sangeeth
Sivan, after messing the remake of the Telugu hit
Athadu, messes another remake big-time. Please someone
inform Sandeep Chowta that there is no need to be
so loud to be scary, Silence is the best way to create
the atmosphere or maybe just the sound of the mild
wind. Cinematography of T.Ramji was surprisingly below
standards. The print looked too grainy (I even checked
with the theatre officials, if it was a pirated version!).
Shamir Tandon’s music was ok, but the songs
were forced into the narrative and the flow (If, the
movie did have one, that is) was disrupted by it constantly.
Editing was tacky and so were its special effects.
Even name sharing story/ screenplay writer was unable
to get my sympathies.
Shreyas Talpade did not look cool enough to pull off
this character, he looks confused for the first time
and his wig is a complete put off. Sada’s work
is decent but she suffers from a bad character sketch.
Sada wearing revealing cloths did not help either.
Sneha Ullal has just two lines of dialogue and then
its all white dress, whiter skin and whitest lens.
Chunky Pandey is horrible, a performance which makes
me frown endlessly.
The unique honor of my favorite horror movie and the
least favorite horror movie goes for the same story.
If only Sangeeth Sivan and Harish Nair were able to
make a remake, this Friday would have surely ended
on a happier note.
Star:
0 (Are you kidding me!)
Verdict:
Till now Zero never looked so valuable
