Trigger spoiler alert!
Star is a mashup of varanam ayiram, mayakkam enna, vinnaithandi varuvaya, big bang therory( Howard’s mom reference if you can relate to) and a lot more of hit Tamil cinema, except for the fact that it’s presented in the most boring, uninspired way. The screenplay is sloppy, the editing is bad, except for lal no other actors showed any moving performances and there is no soulful connect in the entire movie.
The entire movie felt like a coherence of Instagram reels where a random scene pops out spitting universal life lessons which sometimes has no context to the happening. Characters spring out of nowhere only to fulfill the purpose of being the “thelpathri Singh” role to the protagonist ( random kick boxer interviewer and the oddly irritating surabhi).
Problem with Tamil cinema is even a two film actor wants to get into “masses” by sacrificing the story points and just satisfy the cravings of the hero worship.
If people want to experience the nostalgia of these classic movies they might as well watch the original content rather than directors trying to copy over these movies due to the lack of creativity.
I sincerely hope and pray a miracle happens where audiences are not taken for granted and provide quality content.
