The End

The End Movie Review:

It's not every Friday that a Telugu movie-goer get to watch a film like "The End". Helmed by an award-winning short filmmaker Rahul, the film's trailer succeeded in creating curiosity over the film. And yes, the movie lived up to its expectations. It's a breath of fresh air amidst a bunch of waste films churned out this week and turned out to be winner.

Plot:

The End revolves around two couples Priya (Pavani Reddy), Rajeev Mathews (Sudheer Reddy) and Gautham (Yuva Chandra), Rekha (Gazal Somaiah). While Priya and Rajeev are happily married and staying in their own villa in the outskirts of Hyderabad, Gautham, who happens to be common-friend of Priya and Rajeev, is a UK-return medical graduate planning to set up his own hospital. Meanwhile, few untoward incidents took place in Priya-Rajeev's villa. A female construction worker accidentally dies in a water-less pool in the villa. The story here takes a major u-turn as turbulence surfaces in Priya and Rajeev's personal life and marital life. That changes the life of Rajeev, Priya and Gautham forever.

Performances:

Director Rahul recruited reasonably good cast who genuinely performed well. Especially Pavani Reddy's acting as a ghost stands out in the film despite very short screen presence. Side-kicks like Venu (Watchman) tickles few funny bones with his "Baahubali" comedy.

Technicalities:

It's a director's film all the way. Right from its beginning to the end, director's mark is visibly seen throughout the film. As the movie has no crowd-pulling element, the director totally relied on the story and screenplay. The editing could have been tighter. Background score is up to the mark and cinematography is passable.

Analysis:

Kudos to first-timer director Rahul who carefully crafted the film making sure all logics are in place and there are no loose ends. He roped in good cast who played their parts well. Good story-line, a well-written screenplay, nice background score hav...
