Movie Review -;
Sidharth (Zaid Khan) falls in love with Dhani (Sonal Monteiro) and, in a bid to woo her, tells her that he has come to her from the future, through time travel. Once she reciprocates his love, he wrongs her, because of which she breaks off from him and comes to Banaras. He follows her to apologise. In Banaras, he realises that strange thin gs are happening to him. Does it have something to do with time travel? Zaid Khan, who made his acting debut wi th Banaras, performed with ease. We won’t get the feeling that he was doing his first film and emoted quite beau tifully in crucial scenes. He carried the movie entirely on his shoulders from start to end. He also looks good and stylish and can make it big in the coming days.Jayathirtha has penned an unusual story about time travel but it is very confusing. His screenplay in the first half is extremely boring.
The wooing of the girl, the break-up and the efforts to reconcile are all so routine that the audience just doesn’t feel for the lovers. The post-interval portion has more drama but it is so confusing that the audience gets put off. Why scientist Narayan Shastry would experiment on Siddharth in particular is not explained. Sonal Monteiro lo oked gorgeous and performed well in her role. The film starts off quite well in an exciting manner. The first ten mi nutes of the film raise curiosity as to what would unfold in the following sequences. The interval twist is decent. What’s more, the entire concept of time travel is so alien and has been explained in such a slipshod manner that it simply fails to have the desired impact. In fact, the repetitiveness of scenes to establish the point of time travel gets on the viewers’ nerves, more so because it is difficult to comprehend. If the love story lacks warmth, the co medy of Narayan Shastry and his wife, Rukmini Devi (Sapna Raj), falls flat on its face.
Ditto for the comedy of Shambu (Sujay Shastry). Emotions are conspicuous by their absence. All in all, the screen play is weak. Rajan Agarwal’s dialogues are routine. Others like Sujay Shastry, Achyuth Kumar, and Devaraj were decent in their respective roles. There are a few interesting moments here and there in the movie that catches o ur attention. Few dialogues and fun portions at places are good. Zaid Khan has a pleasant face and is quite ende aring. He does a fair job in his debut film. Sonal Monteiro is average as Dhani. Achyuth Kumar is okay as Narayan Shastry. Sapna Raj is quite alright as Rukmini Devi. Devaraj lends ordinary support in the role of Sidharth’s fath er. Sujay Shastry (as Shambu) irritates more than entertaining. Barkath Ali’s acting (as Peter) is devoid of convic tion. Others pass muster. The actual problem is that the main plot isn’t established properly. The director took hi s own sweet time to come to the main plot and didn’t concentrate on the screenplay in the first half.
As a result, the love track feels dragged, and it is only during the interval the actual story starts. The exciting mo ments in the second half make us eagerly wait for the main twist, and we will be disappointed heavily when it co mes. Unfortunately, the point taken and the screenplay didn’t go hand in hand. The director tried to add too ma ny genres and concepts in the movie, and thus the film feels left somewhere in between all these. The songs co m e as speed breakers.The way in which the movie is heading can’t be understood due to the below-par execu tion, and the emotions could have been conveyed in a better manner. There is some philosophical touch given over th e end, but how things are executed doesn’t engage the audience completely. The background music by Ajaneesh Loknath is decent. The cinematography by Advaitha Gurumurthy is fantastic, and he captured the majestic loc ations of Banaras quite beautifully. The production values are good .
Jayathirtha’s direction is so-so. Even his narration is unable to make the confusing drama any less confusing. B. Ajaneesh Loknath’s music comprises one melodious number – Tere liye toh – and other average songs. His bac kground music is so-so. Choreography (Jayathirtha and A. Harsha) is nothing to shout about. Advaitha Guru mu rty’s camerawork is very good. Action and stunt scenes (by A. Vijay and Different Danny) are okay. K.M. Prakash ’s editing leaves something to be desired. Dubbing is proper.On the whole, Banaras will prove to be a complete non-starter and a flop. Second Haif is Copy Tamil Str movie Maanaadu and Climax is Tamil Movie NaaisekarThe direction by Jayathirtha is below-par, and he should have concentrated more on the screenplay. His idea to pres ent a different film is fine, but the problem arises since he attaches too many elements. He should have confined it to fewer aspects to make the movie more interesting. Also, more effort should have been put into the writing. However, Jayathirtha was triumphant in extracting good performances from artists.
