Story :
Shiva Shankar, a compassionate lawyer, is devastated when he learns of his sister Shivani’s supposed suicide. The news hits him hard. Compounding his grief, Shivani’s husband dies mysteriously in a forest. Shiva refuses to believe his sister would take her own life.
Determined to uncover the truth, he embarks on a journey of investigation. As he delves deeper into the mysteries surrounding their deaths, Shiva unravels shocking secrets that challenge everything he thought he knew.
Driven by love and a quest for justice, Shiva’s relentless pursuit of answers leads him down a path fraught with danger and unexpected revelations.
Positive Aspects :
In the Aranmanai series, Baak really shines for its technical brilliance. The team put a lot of effort into the visuals, music, and overall production quality. You can see the care they took in every scene.
The spooky effects are done well, and the music by Hip Hop Tamizha adds to the scary moments. The story gets interesting before the interval, with lots of events that make you wonder what will happen next.
Both halves of the movie have exciting parts. In the second half, everything comes together nicely. Sundar C does a great job as the main character. Even though Tamannaah Bhatia’s role is short, she leaves a mark. Raashii Khanna also does well in her part.
Negative Aspects :
The problem with movies like Baak is they try too hard to be funny. While it’s made for lots of people to enjoy, the comedy often feels forced and can be annoying. It’s like these funny parts don’t fit in with the rest of the movie and take away from the story. Vennela Kishore and Sreenivas Reddy’s jokes don’t always land, except for the ending which works better.
Baak follows the same old formula as the other Aranmanai movies. There’s nothing really new or different about it. The story is pretty basic, but they try to spice it up with some surprises and good production values. If you’re hoping for something fresh, you might be disappointed. Once the big secret is revealed, everything becomes easy to guess. They tried to make it emotional, but it just slows things down, especially in the second half. And the song at the end feels unnecessary. They could’ve cut some scenes to make it shorter.
Technical Elements :
Baak is really well put together in terms of technical stuff. The music by Hip Hop Tamizha, the way it’s filmed by E. Krishnasamy, and how everything looks are the best parts of the movie. But they could’ve edited it a bit better.
Director Sundar. C went with a pretty typical story again. Some parts of the movie are really interesting, especially when it gets spooky. But then there are the funny bits that just don’t fit right and can be annoying. Sundar. C should’ve skipped those unnecessary funny scenes for a better movie experience.
Conclusion :
Overall, Baak follows the same kind of story as other movies in the Aranmanai series. While the spooky parts are done well, too much silly comedy makes it less enjoyable. The funny bits disrupt the story and don’t really help it. The second part slows down and the ending could’ve been more exciting. It’s made well, but the usual story and unnecessary scenes make Baak not very exciting to watch.
