Time Loop Movie

#194

For someone with very high standards for liking a movie, I rather enjoyed Maanaadu. Of course I enjoyed the audience's reaction, which was way louder and appreciative for S J Suryah's entry as compared to Simbu's entry, probably unsurprising albeit still interesting.

It was nice to see the Tamil industry deviate from the usual mass and masala movies to an intriguing, slightly intellectual portrayal of time loop. Great to see a lot of the side actors also getting enough screen time as well as fairly meaty roles containing humour. 

Pleasantly surprised and rather amused when Tenet, another time loop (inversion, to be precise) was referenced in this time loop movie. It got interesting post the interval, which brought about a good twist, which makes you wonder how the loop would end.

Overall, a good experience but a one-time watch for me because I already know the story, so the only thing holding me captivated the first time around, the suspense, will no longer be there.
