The audience had high hopes for action movie Michael, starring Sundeep Kishan and directed by Ranjit Jeykodi. The movie, which also has Vijay Sethupathi in a significant part, has just been released. Let’s watch how it performs.
Story: During the 1990s, Mumbai mobster Gurunadh (Gautham Menon) is in danger when orphan Michael (Sundeep Kishan) saves him and earns his confidence. Later, Gurunadh assigns Michael to go to Delhi. What exactly is the task? What connection does Teera’s (Divyanshu Kaushik) father have to it? Will Michael be able to complete the job? Why did Vijay Sethupathi’s character enter the scene? You must see the movie in local theatres to learn that.
Sundeep Kishan’s dedication to the part is evident in his performances. His transformation into a ripped body is good and gives the action a more genuine feel. He devoted himself to performing dangerous action feats. He literally added sweat and blood to the movie.
Gautam Menon receives a substantial role. He does a superb job at conveying speech and acting subtly as a mobster. Sundeep and Gautam’s confrontation sequences are handled competently. Varun Sandesh looks good, but the role lacks any real intensity.
Vijay Sethupathi is a pleasant surprise for the movie. Even if his character ends abruptly, the leading man captivates with great screen presence in the lengthy cameo appearance. The persona of the heroine, Divyanshu Kaushik, is soulless.
Varalakshmi Sarathkumar gives a good performance, however her character needs more in-depth development. Despite being portrayed as an aggressive woman, Anasuya’s role is shallow. Ayyappa and the other supporting performers do well in their positions.
Technicalities: Kiran Koushik’s cinematography is of the highest calibre. He made sure that each frame had a 90s-style texture and presented the entire movie in a rustic manner.
Sam CS’s music is good because he employed new instruments for the background soundtrack. There are a few aesthetically appealing situational tracks in the movie.
R. Sathyanarayan’s editing is acceptable. For this low-budget film, production qualities and design work are adequate. The choreography for the introductory song by Divyanshu Kaushik is wonderfully done.
Although it was a fantastic idea for director Ranjit Jeykodi to explore the 90s action atmosphere on screen, the story lacked originality. Surprisingly, the movie includes slow-motion elevation shots of all the main characters.
The outcome might have been a little bit better if the filmmaker had concentrated on a compelling story in addition to gorgeous production. In conclusion, Michael is a technically sound film with a few bright points following the appearance of Vijay Sethupathi’s character, but its flaws are its uninteresting writing and scene placement.
