Paani Review: A Limit On Violence – How Is The Latest Malayalam Action Thriller Movie?
Paani Review: Paani film directed by versatile Malayalam actor Joju George is streaming on Sony Liv OTT. Bigg Boss contestants Sagar Surya and Junaid played the roles of villains in this action thriller film. Acting played an important role. How has this film been released in Telugu?
Revenge from Don…
Giri (Joju George) from Thrissur does real estate settlements and scams with his relatives Saji, Devi and Kuruvilla. He leaves the rowdy life and lives a happy life with his family members. Don Sebastian (Sagar Surya) and Siju (Junaid) work as bike mechanics. They will step into crossroads to earn money.
A person gets murdered. Don misbehaves with Giri’s wife Gauri (Abhinaya) in a shopping mall. Along with him, Siju was also beaten. What did Don and Siju do when they were angry with Gauri? How did they kill Giri’s relatives one by one? Dan, what did Giri do to capture Sizzula? How did Giri take revenge from Dan and Sizula who caused his death? This is the story of the film Paani.
The trend has changed…
Presently the trend of action films has changed. Telling action stories with extreme violence and gore has become a genre. From Animal to the recent Marco, many films followed this trend and came in front of the audience. Paani is also a film of the same category. Hero-cum-director Joju George has pitched the film as a revenge action thriller set against the backdrop of a fight between a gangster and two common youth.
The more violent the villain’s character…
In action films, the more violent and powerful the villain’s character is, the higher will be the heroism. Joju George Pani, who believes in this commercial formula, has screened the film. Dan and Siju were portrayed as people who do not know the meaning of fear. Calling Giri respectfully as Anna is different from developing villainy through her. The episode changing between Giriki Dan and Siju is thrilling. The climactic action episode shows bloodshed at its peak.
My name is along with Shiva…
The concept of action movie is not new. Along with Dutva Na Prama Shiva, many films have come out in South on this issue. Joju George tried to create a fresh feeling in the audience with the magic of shooting and script. He was successful to some extent in this endeavor.
The climax is simple…
The scenes where the hero chases away the villain’s gang are not up to the expected level. The hero’s family members were shown as if they had abandoned each other while the villains were targeting them. Lastly, logic was missing in the scene where the hero kidnaps the villains from the police.
There will be no kick…
If villains are easily found in the form of heroes in such revenge thriller films, then the audience watching the film will not enjoy it. There should be twists that sharpen the audience’s mind. Only then will you feel exciting. There is no such shine in this film. The story of the film Paani is predictable most of the time.
Bigg Boss contestant…
Joju George has given a versatile performance in the role of Giri. It is good to show bravery in short dialogues. Bigg Boss contestant Sagar Surya, who played the role of Don Sebastian after Joju George, impressed in terms of acting. Junize’s acting as his friend is fine. Abhinaya impresses with her performance as Joju George’s wife. Sam’s CS, Santosh Narayanan’s BGM is not that effective.
A routine revenge thriller…
Paani is a routine revenge action thriller film. Joju George, who did justice to his role as an actor, could not impress with the film as a director.
