'Spyder': Brings the thrill back into the thriller (Review)

Film: "Spyder": Writer-Director: A.R. Murugadoss; Cast: Mahesh Babu, S.J. Surya and Rakul Preet Singh; Rating: ****

there's nothing like a perfect secret agent thriller. but "Spyder" comes close. it is svelte, swanky and slick in a manner that Telugu cinema is currently studying to be. most vital of all, the main guy none apart from Mahesh Babu, arguably Andhra's no.1 superstar, plays it so cool, he is almost the antithesis of Prabhas' sweaty over-exertve performance in "Baahubali".

An intrinsic aptness is applied to this film about intelligence and espionage. even though there are huge passages of improbable visual spectacle and plot twists that coil and balk through a maze of unrepentant incredulity, there may be despite the fact that on the center of "Spyder" a yarn that induces an adrenaline rush within the target market while it rushes to go where angels fear to tread.

"Spyder", for all its overweening pursuits to keep the court cases as actual as possible, in no way pretty manages to keep away from the outrageous. there may be a creeping tension enveloping the lengthy narrative. though the film is two and 1/2 hours lengthy, the period never sits uneasily on the narrative. though the language is Telugu, I watched it with out subtitles and i discovered no issue in following the plot.

some passages inside the screenplay are sheer ingenuity masquerading as masala fare. The put up-intermission episode wherein Mahesh Babu gambling a central authority surveillance agent, takes the help of tv-addicted housewives to nab the terrorist, is a piece of sheer genius. And the manner the hero saves his mother and child-brother from the sadistic villain must be seen to be believed.
