As far as Indian film industry is concerned there are quite among a lot of films boldly take up the genre of science- fiction.Few do well at the box-office while others don't mainly due to the fact that they overpower the film with some magical theories.Hollywood had witnessed many time traveling based movies but Indian films have rarely witnessed this terminology.
24 is a sci-fi movie based on time travel, excellently narrated by Vikram.K.Kumar and effortlessly carried out by Surya.Surya in fact, has made a debut as an arrogant(yet lovable) villain.He has played three characters(Sethuraman,Athreya,Manikandan). Female leads include Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Nithya Menon. Music and background score is by our "Oscar Hero " A.R.Rahman.
The story starts with an experimental research on a time-travel device (a watch) carried out by a super nerdy scientist ,Dr.Sethuraman. The villain, Athreya who is the twin brother of Sethu was reaching out to rip the watch from his dear brother. Athreya with his devilish look, kills Sethu and his wife. Yet, Sethu manages to save his child. The story then moves forward to 2016, where we can see a young and energetic Mani. Mani is a watch mechanic by profession. When he finds out the mystery and magic inside the watch (Codenamed "Project 24"), he just does childish tricks at first.
Eventually, Athreya who remained passive in coma gets into action.The movie again gains its pace from Athreya.This time Athreya is more of evil and filled with the spirit of vengeance, though he's paralyzed. He manages to find the watch that Mani has got. The story is all about how Mani manages to move back to the past and change the scenarios.
The stunning visuals and cinematography by Thirunavukkarasu was a visual treat obviously. A.R.Rahman's background music gave some goosebumps filled moments.On the whole, it is evident that this movie was carried out picture perfect by the entire crew.
24 is undoubtedly a brain-child of the genius director Vikram Kumar.
