It Does not matter, if you shoot the Movie with a Handy Cam, Mobile Cam, Imax or Arri.
And, seriously Linear, Non Linear, Single Shot are technical terms which the audience is least bothered about.
It's like going into a Restaurant, which advertises all their equipments are state of the Art technology, they cook their food in wood fire and Blah, Blah. And, serve their food Cold, Lack in taste and have a boring staff. Overall your experience would be bad.
That's how Iravin Nizhal is, you can appreciate the efforts undertaken, but what's the point in having a boring content, boring narration and underperforming actors.
For me the best thing was AR Rahman. At times it was magical, but how long or often can he produce magical moments in a 95 Minute Movie with a bland script?
I had high hopes after Ottha Seruppu. But this was a pure disaster.
R. Parthiban, uses his word play in all his movies to generate humor, but it has become a nuisance. It's almost like you can predict what's coming. And, is used in all situations.
He writes his own dialogues, acts as the main lead, Directs, and also gives voice over to other artists.....It's like too much of R. Parthiban in a movie and giving no space to other actors.
Iravin Nizhal- feels like a 3 hour movie, when you fast forward the songs!
Experimentation is required, but not at the peril of Content!
