I.M.C.F Review

A psychological thriller movie which has got some good script, but got released in the wrong time, when highest portion of Tollywood people are solely focussed on mass masala entertainment! Adding to that, the screenplay is very confusing; which might be the charm of the film, but it is a definite disadvantage! Many films with such screenplay have faced similar fate in past!

Mahesh Babu, who plays a Rockstar doesnt stay much on stage. He has got some problems, with which he had been fighting since childhood, but comes into lime light only after one stage show, donno how! Since then, his focus lies only on knowing the truths about his past and his parents. I would say, this is not quite a story and we have seen many such revenge stories. But what made it different is the concept and screenplay (which also became its main disadvantage!) and the part of the film which revolves around Mahesh's Dad and Golden rice is new, yet somehow seems to be routine! Still, a very brave step by Sukumar to make a film like this! Kriti sonan is being liked by a few, but not by all. Mahesh had been on screen throughout and did very well.

I.M.C.F Rating : 82/100

Direction : 9 : The Direction part alone, is good and handled well! But a bit lagging in few places.
Production Values : 8 : Could have been a lot better.
Story/Plot : 8 : Routine revenge story, but was handled very differently.
Cast Performances : 7 : Mahesh's charecterization is too good and all others did just fine.
Music : 9 : DSP's Mark musical!
Cinematography : 9 : Gave the look of a Hollywood film!
Editing/Screenplay : 7 : Very confusing, but of course, that was the point of the film!

Awe Moment(s) : 9 (Pre Interval scene and how Mahesh learns about his past)
