Amigos - What Works and What Doesn't
Amigos is written and directed by Rajendra Reddy. A triple role film with an intriguing plot. The three doppelgangers at the centre of the narrative are unrelated to one another. Amigos' main strength is its narrative clarity and absence of misunderstanding. The beginning of the film introduces the world of the main character (among the three). His love story practically fills the first half of the film. The story also deftly introduces the idea of doppelgangers and moves forward without any interruptions.
Although everything is kept a secret for our amusement, we are aware that something will be awry someplace. Unfortunately, entertaining is the issue throughout this entire, almost until the intermission romantic stretch. It is a serviceable kind. While most of it is flat, certain pieces do work. Additionally, it is predictable because it is clear where things are going.
One becomes eagerly anticipatory of the story's true twist as a result. When the main narrative is revealed during the intermission, the real momentum starts to build. Whether or not they have watched the trailer has some degree of predictability. However, the way it's developed up until that moment and the final surprise makes it appear successful.
