Takkar movie review

Story:

Siddharth is a youngster born into a poor family. He is not happy with his life as he never has enough money.

He does various things to earn cash but his anger always creates problems for him.

At last, he rents a Benz car and rides it as a taxi. The car gets completely damaged in an accident and the owner bashes him up.

With a lot of financial problems, he decides to end his life but he doesn’t have enough bravery to commit suicide.

While searching for ways to die, Siddharth meets with a rowdy who deceived him before. Siddharth beats him up and takes his car.

He finds a kidnapped girl in the car’s trunk and Siddharth’s life takes a huge turn due to that girl. Why did the girl get kidnapped?
Where does this kidnap drama lead to? This forms the crux of the story.

Analysis:

Director Karthik G Krish tries to incorporate too many genres into his story. Thus, we can’t fit Takkar into a specific category.

There is romance, suspense and action but nothing creates an impact. Siddharth tried his best to shoulder the film.

But, despite his serious face and myriad expressions, one just cannot take anything seriously in the film.

Divyansha Kaushik is an eye candy in the film. She is given some interesting dialogues about feminism and patriarchy.

The comedy scenes involving Yogi Babu and Munishkanth have also not worked out as expected.

Music director Nivas K Prasanna’s songs and background score are average. Murugesan does a decent job on the camera front.

Rating: 3.1/5
