COBRA - Incoherent Script turns as the Ultimate Villain
"Cobra" opens with a string of murders that show how deftly the killer committed them. As they take place in several nations, the opening scenes arouse curiosity and fascination. They are even more innovative when performed by a mathematical genius. Vikram's portrayal of this role pulls us into the movie. When the movie uses mathematical theories to explain the crimes and assassinations in the beginning, it shows flashes of brilliance. There are also some grandiose concepts offered.
However, it appears that the director is not happy with these concepts. He has complicated the assassination's straightforward narrative. As the narrative progresses, hallucinations, flashbacks, mother and brother sentiments, and other elements are included. After the interval blast à la "Dhoom 3," things get worse. After a certain point, the director seemed to have lost track of his intended message. The three-hour film wanders aimlessly but never achieves its primary objective. It gets pretty ridiculous and irrational in the last hour.
We are led to believe at first that vikram is carrying out all of these murders for a businessman. The proprietor of this corporate organisation, the so-called villain, does not provide an explanation for his actions. He never establishes his true animosity at or connection to Vikram. In this sloppy editing, several links are missing. Another muddled element is the thread involving srinidhi shetty and Vikram. Simply put, "Cobra" is too loud and too long. Just before the intermission, the movie sparks curiosity, but after that, it loses its appeal and turns into a complete bore.
