The much expected teaser of actor
Suriya’s ’24’ directed by Vikram Kumar will be released on this Friday
that is on March 4. A
couple of days in advance and here is our review of the 1 minute and 8
seconds long teaser.
The teaser starts off with a jumbled set
of numbers setting the mood for a scientific base of the film’s story.
Then Suriya takes over, with the three characters he plays in the film
revealed in the teaser. The versatile star appears in five different
getups and we can sure expect some surprises packed in, with respect to
the five getups for three characters.
Suriya for the first time plays a deadly
negative character in the film. This character seems to be the one with
the formal coat-suit attire and the short beard, that appeared in the
first look posters. The other two characters of Suriya are a slightly
old character wearing specs and a dashing youngster. These two
characters could be the father and his son. So we could safely assume
that Suriya is the hero, villain and the victim who faces threat from
the villain in the film.
The old Suriya character is chased by the
baddie Suriya in search of his precious possession and this apparently
forms the crux of the film. Samantha and Nithya Menen playing the pair
for the younger and older Suriya respectively get a blink you will miss
appearance.
The teaser has the glimpses of Goosebumps
moments for the fans of Suriya as well as commercial movie buffs with
the negative and the youngster characters. We can expect some mass
moments for both these characters which will evoke loud cheers from
Suriya fans. With the three characters, especially the negative one, we
can expect an extraordinary never before seen scale of performance from
Suriya.
Coming to the technical parts, the color
tone selected by cinematographer Thirunavaukarasu aka Thiru is unique
and perfectly suits the genre. Parwin Pudi has packaged the teaser with
sharp and racy cuts and we can expect the same finesse explored in the
film aswell. Art department has an important role in sci-fi flicks. The
teaser shows that the Art director duo Amith and Subratha are going to
stun us with their work in the film. The initial train shot, that
science lab set and the huge machine set that could be understood as a
time machine speak volumes of hard work and innovation that would have
gone into the making.
Last but not the least, the re-recording
of A.R.Rahman is simply amazing. Especially the noisy sound at the end
of the teaser makes us expect that the Isaipuyal would treat us with
some extraordinary music that will intensify the impact of the genre,
story and performances of the film.
In short, if creating an expectation or
increasing the already created expectation over a film is the primary
purpose of releasing a teaser, we can give 100 marks to the director
Vikram Kumar and his team for creating the teaser of ‘24’ .
