Samar Movie Review
Vishal Krishna and Trisha Krishnan were supposed to work on many occasions but it not happen for one or the other reason. Thiru's Samar brings them together for the first time and despite facing a lot of troubles over the release at the last minute, the film has successfully hit the screens on January 13.
Expectations:
Audience
were
confused
over
the
release
date

as
the

joined
the
Pongal
race
only
after
Kamal
Hassan's
Vishwaroopam
backed
out.
However,
in
the
limited
time,
the
makers
of
the
film
tried
to
generate
a
lot
of
curiosity
and
have
managed
to
get
decent
response.
While the verdicts on other Pongal releases like Karthi's Alex Pandian, which has failed to impress the audience, and Santhanam's Kanna Laddu Thinna Aasaiya, which has garnered positive feedbacks, are out, people are eagerly waiting to see whether Samar could impress them. Read on for the review...

Samar
The strength of the film is the screenplay, which thrills you with every twist. The first half of Samar is brilliant and the second half is cleverly narrated. The director unveils the turns in the story without confusing audience, which makes the film an interesting watch.
Samar
However, drawbacks of Samar are lifeless music and background score, characterisation of the baddies played by JD and Manoj, and the length of the film. While the first half has everything - love, action and thrill, the second half gets boring at parts with unwanted scenes and the item track.
Samar
Performance wise, Vishal has matured as an actor and his expressions are really good in Samar. His body language in action sequences is praise worthy and his looks are apt in the film. Trisha takes a break from her usual running-around-trees kind of role and her characterisation is good. Sunaina has done a decent job in her limited role. But JD and Manoj are irritating.
Samar
Technically, Richard M. Nathan's cinematography stands out of all technical departments. Be it in a chase sequences or forest scene, he has done a neat job. Yuvan's song 'Azhago azhagu...' is good and nothing more can be said about the album. Dharan Kumar's background score fails big time. However, S Ramakrishnan's dialogues are excellent. Last but not least, the director gets full marks for making a different kind of attempt and also for coming up with a good action-thriller.
Samar
Samar is a must-watch movie for action lovers.
