Story:
Sundar C., also known as Shiva Shankar, is an earnest lawyer. His sister Shivani (Tamannaah) committed suicide; he finds out one day. For Shiva Shankar, this news is shocking. Conversely, in the wilderness, Shivani’s spouse passes away inexplicably. Shivani and her husband died, and Shiva Shankar is shocked that his sister would do such a drastic thing. He sets out to investigate the reasons behind their deaths. The path that Shiva Shankar takes to unravel the mysteries is shown throughout the remainder of the movie.
Pros:
“Baak” has a particularly impressive level of technical skill in the Aranmanai series. The background music, production values, and graphics have all been meticulously considered by the crew. Because the creators invested a lot of money, every frame of the film exhibits exceptional quality. Hip Hop Tamizha’s background score really amplifies the intensity of the scary moments, and the horror effects are expertly executed. During the pre-interval scenes, the film gains momentum. Before the halfway point, a number of intriguing things happen that pique participants’ interest in the activities. There are thrilling moments in both halves. In the second part, everything is well interwoven. As the protagonist, Sundar C does a good job. Although Tamannaah Bhatia just makes a fleeting appearance, her influence is felt. In her part, Raashii Khanna does a passable job.
Cons:
These kinds of movies include unwelcome humor tracks, which is their biggest problem. While the slapstick humor in Baak is understandable given its mass appeal, it irritates me in numerous situations. The effect is diminished by these lighthearted sequences, which look entirely out of place. The antics of Sreenivas Reddy and Vennela Kishore don’t really work until the very end. The movie Baak follows the same formula and offers nothing new, much like the other movies in the Aranmanai series. Tricks and strong technical aspects are used to sweeten the ordinary plot. It may disappoint those who are looking for anything new in terms of content.
Things get a lot more predictable after the big revelation. There’s a slowdown in the second half of the movie as a result of the filmmakers’ attempt to give it more emotional depth. It would have been possible to skip the last song. A few sequences might have been cut by the editing team.
Technical Aspects:
Technically, Baak is a well-made movie. The film’s greatest strengths are its huge production values, E. Krishnasamy’s photography, and Hip Hop Tamizha’s background score. Still, there was room for improvement in the editing. Director Sundar C. has chosen a standard plot once more. In sections, his narration is interesting. The picture becomes tedious while the comedic components are emphasized, but it becomes intriguing with frightening overtones when it takes a serious turn. Sundar C. could have made a stronger impression by omitting the pointless comedic sequences.
Verdict:
Overall, the plot of Baak is standard fare, similar to other Aranmanai franchise movies. Despite the fact that the scary components are well executed, the impact is significantly diminished by the excessively humorous scenes. The comic parts detract from the overall plot and flow of the movie. There are some dull periods in the second half, and the climax could have been better. Although the film’s technical aspects are impressive, Baak is a dull watch due to its uninspired scenes and formulaic plot.
