RETRO - FDFS review
RETRO Plot outline - A lost son of a slavery clan reunites with the group after several years and protests against their evil master in a remote island.
The plot is an outdated one which MGR did way back in 1960. Incase Mgr was suggested the same plot in 1970, he would have rejected the script citing the plot as outdated. It is surprising that Suriya who is known for his versatile script selection, has agreed to do such an outdated script.
The screenplay starts somewhere and ends somewhere. Yes. The film starts off somewhere in pursuit of a golden fish (the item is revealed only at the end), then romantic plot and finally ended with an outdated MASTER - SLAVERY plot.
From the scene one of the film, the plot remains uninteresting and failed to grab the attention of the audience.
Though Surya and Pooja hegde tried to carry the film over, the outdated plot and weak screenplay (lot of unnecessary fights) let the film down 👎
Though songs are good in the film, fight scenes in midst of the film spoils the mood of audience. Even Pooja hegde signature dance step is missing in the film. 👎
After viewing the trailer, songs and film promos, audience may expect for a violent gangster plot mixed with breezy 'Surya - Pooja hegde' Romance. If you are expecting the same, the film will be a great disappointment as the core plot is itself an outdated "Master - Slavery' plot.
If you feel to abuse or criticise us for this review, I would like you people to watch out the film so that you mau agree with my opinion.
RETRO - FAILURE (1.5/5). Watch it at your own risk.
