It was Wednesday & It was at Capsquare to see the latest tamil movie "Ayan" (which is suppose to be making the box office...Ayan (Iron) box office) but there was no tamil movie there so happen to select the 8x10 Tasveer with the only promising tag I was interested, that is the director Nagesh Kukunoor whose Hyderabad Blue is still in my best movies list.
Though the movie "8 x 10 Tasveer" gave enough space for my younger daughter to move around the whole theatre freely without any trouble...but the few people amoung us in the theatre (most of them are chinese and malays) who watched the movie was really tested our patience as I found the killer right from the fourth scene itself..but I havent guessed that Akshay kumar has double role in this movie...that was really a thriller.
The hero of this film has a mystique ability to gaze at photographs and visualize immediate happenings after the picture was clicked...
The film begins well. Though slow paced you understand it is intentional and go along the flow. The premise of the film and the setting keeps getting really interesting and also some superbly shot sequences keep you on the edge. It is almost like watching a hollywood suspense thriller directed by M.Night Shyamalan.But the whole premise falters during the last 30 minutes in what appears like a never ending climax.
Kukunoor shows tremendous improvement as a technician and has done just the perfect casting for all the parts.But the story line is quite confusing to categorize it as a thriller or a X file material! Overall it was just OK!!!
