Idiot Movie Review - A Complete Mess!
The film begins as a period drama, with two minions, Sethupathi and Senathipathi, betraying a royal family. We witness Chinnarasu (Shiva) and his family, who live in the village of Veerapandiyan, in a matter of minutes. Due of his ignorance, Chinnarasu frequently refers to his father Rasu Gounder (Anandaraj) as a fool. Smitha (Nikki Galrani), a doctor who oversees a psychiatric hospital, is then presented. Later on, we learn that Chinnarasu and Smitha are Sethupathi and Senathipathi's descendants. Unbelievable scenes reunite them, and we witness a ghostly reunion at Zameen's mansion. From there, it's a frantic ride that's neither hilarious nor compelling.
Another character, Neelakandi (Aksharaa Gowda), is introduced, who wishes to steal Smitha's life in order to resurrect her boyfriend. Neelakandi's flashback is included after the intermission, although it adds little value to the plot. The rest of the plot revolves around whether or not Neelakandi succeeds in her quest.
Rambhala's horror comedy is a satire from the start, referencing scenes from films like Suriyavamsam, Ghilli, Endhiran, and even the vikram teaser. Though the concept appears to be sound, the majority of the one-liners fall flat, and some of them are also outdated. The parts in which shiva portrays a mentally ill person are imaginative for a protagonist, but they don't enhance the movie as a whole.
Despite this, we hope for at least one sensible figure who contributes to the greater good. This could be Rambhala's goal as well, to create a world full of 'idiots.' However, we are surrounded with disappointment. Even ghosts are objectified at one point, and offensive jokes are cracked here and there. shiva, as usual, plays his part subtly and does his hardest to elicit laughs from the crowd. However, given the scenario, he has no room to shine. nikki galrani and Urvashi, who plays Anandaraj's spouse, give strong performances that keep the picture enjoyable.
