Déjà vu review: Arulnithi-starrer investigative thriller checks all the boxes and never wastes audience's time

Déjà vu review: filmmaker arvind srinivasan's directorial debut boasts of some smart twists. the thriller predominantly works due to its focused storytelling..

Arulnithi, who has quietly carved his own space with his unique choice of films, has evolved as the go-to actor for thriller-based subjects in Tamil cinema . His latest release Déjà vu, by debutant filmmaker Arvind Srinivasan, is a decent investigative thriller that boasts of some smart twists and predominantly works due to its focused storytelling. The film manages to check all the boxes that one usually associates with a watchable thriller. Also read: O2 movie review: Nayanthara’s film is a decent survival thriller

The film opens with a novelist (Achyut Kumar) storming into a police station in the middle of the night, completely drunk, to file a complaint about harassment calls. He claims that the characters from his latest work are coming to life and calling and threatening him. He files a written complaint but given his drunk condition, the police officials don’t take him seriously.

Next morning, police rush to the writer’s house and take him into custody on the basis of a call to the control room from a woman the previous night who claims that the writer has something to do with her kidnapping. Upon further investigation, it is revealed that the Deputy General of Police’s ( Madhoo Shah ) daughter is missing and the police believe it could be the same person who called the control room. Clueless about how to handle the case and to ensure her emotions don’t overtake her decision, the DGP appoints special officer Vikram Kumar (Arulnithi) to investigate the case.

At just about two hours long, Déjà vu never wastes a minute and that really works in the film’s favour as it keeps audiences hooked till the very last minute. Its taut narration is one of the major highlights and this works even when the story takes a few predictable turns to eventually impress with the big twist towards the end. This is one of those rare films with no heroine and this saves the viewers from any silly romantic subplot. The novelist’s premonition angle works very well in creating suspense from the very first frame. It’s an original idea that’s built well and weaved into the story seamlessly to make the proceedings as gripping as possible.

Arulnithi as the investigative officer is a smart pick, and he plays his part quite convincingly. Madhoo gets a meaty part and her character goes through a very interesting transformation phase which most can’t see coming. As far as a thriller goes, Déjà vu manages to impress to a large extent and leaves hardly any room for complaints.

தேஜாவு: திரை விமர்சனம்

சுப்ரமணியன் என்கிற புனைக்கதை எழுத்தாளர் தனது கதையில் அவர் எழுதும் சம்பவங்கள் அப்படியே நிஜத்திலும் நடக்கின்றன. இதுபற்றி போலீஸில் அவர் புகார் கொடுக்க, காவல் துறைஅலட்சியப்படுத்துகிறது. எழுத்தாளரின் கதையில் வருவதுபோல பூஜா (ஸ்மிருதி வெங்கட்) என்கிற பெண்ணை முகமுடி அணிந்த மூவர் கடத்திச் செல்கின்றனர்.

கடத்தப்பட்டவர், காவல் அதிகாரியின் (மதுபாலா) மகள் என்பதால், தகவல் வெளியே தெரியாமல் இருக்க, விக்ரம் குமார் (அருள்நிதி) என்ற ரகசிய அதிகாரியை நியமித்து விசாரணையை தொடங்குகின்றனர். கடத்தப்பட்ட பூஜாவுக்கு என்ன ஆனது? விக்ரம்குமாரால் பூஜாவை கண்டுபிடிக்க முடிந்ததா? கதையில் எழுதப்படுவது நிஜத்தில் நடப்பதன் மர்ம பின்னணி என்ன என்பதுதான் கதை.

‘ஸ்ட்ரேஞ்சர் தேன் ஃபிக்‌ஷன்’ திரைப்படத்தின் ஒரு பொறியைத் தொட்ட படம் என்றாலும், முதல் பாதி படம் முழுக்க வரிசைகட்டி வந்துகொண்டே இருக்கும் திருப்பங்களால் பார்வையாளர்களை கவர்ந்துவிடுகிறார் அறிமுக இயக்குநர் அரவிந்த் சீனிவாசன். ஆனால், புதிர்களை விடுவிக்கும் இரண்டாம் பாதி ஊகித்துவிடக்கூடிய பலவீனத்துடன் நகர்கிறது.

இருப்பினும் எந்த இடத்திலும் அயர்ச்சியை உண்டுபண்ணாத காட்சியமைப்புகளும், படமாக்கமும் விறுவிறுப்பான த்ரில்லர் அனுபவத்தை தருகின்றன.படத்தில், பாட்டு, நகைச்சுவை என கமர்ஷியல் அம்சங்கள் இல்லாமல், கதை,திரைக்கதையை நம்பியே ரசிக்கத்தக்க க்ரைம் த்ரில்லரை கொடுப்பதில் வெற்றி பெறுகிறார் இயக்குநர். அதேநேரம், புதிர்களுக்கான விடையை விடுவிக்கும்போது ‘லாஜிக்’குகளை இன்னும் வலுவாக அமைக்கும் சவாலில் திணறுகிறார்.

ஜிப்ரானின் பின்னணி இசை ஒவ்வொரு காட்சியிலும் பார்வையாளர்களை பதற்றத்துடன் வைக்கிறது. பி.ஜி.முத்தையாவின் ஓளிப்பதிவு, ஒரு க்ரைம் த்ரில்லர் படத்துக்கான மர்மங்களை காட்சிமொழியில் கொண்டுவருவதற்கான ஒளி யமைப்பு, கோணங்கள், நகர்வுகள் என அனைத்து அம்சங்களிலும் தேர்ச்சியுடன் பதிவு செய்கிறது.

விக்ரம்குமாராக தோற்றத்திலும் நடிப்பிலும் ஸ்மார்ட்டாக வருகிறார் அருள்நிதி. அவரது ‘அண்டர்பிளே’ நடிப்பும், அளவான ஆக்‌ஷனும் கதாபாத்திரத்துக்கு கச்சிதமாக பொருந்துகிறது. அவருக்கு அடுத்து, சுப்ரமணியன் என்கிற எழுத்தாளர் கதாபாத்திரத்தில் வரும் அச்யுத் குமாரின் நடிப்பு ஈர்க்கிறது.

இவர்களுடன் மதுபாலா, காளி வெங்கட், ஸ்மிருதி வெங்கட், சேத்தன் உள்ளிட்டோரும் தேவையானதை கச்சிதமாக கொடுத்துள்ளனர். படத்தில் தவிர்த்திருக்க வேண்டிய பலவீனங்களில் முதன்மையானது இரண்டாம் பாதியில் வந்துபோகும் ப்ளாஷ் பேக்குகள். கதாநாயகன் சொல்வதை மற்றவர்கள் கண்மூடித்தனமாக கேட்பதை யும் மாற்றியிருக்கலாம். இந்த குறைகளை கடந்து, புதிய த்ரில்லர் அனுபவத்தை தந்து கவர்ந்துவிடுகிறது ‘தேஜாவு’.

அன்பு வாசகர்களே....

இந்த ஊரடங்கு காலத்தில் வீட்டை விட்டு வெளியே வராமல் நமக்கு நாமே சமூக விலகல் ( Social Distancing) செய்து கொள்வோம். செய்தி ஊடகங்களின் வழியே உலகுடன் தொடர்பில் இருப்போம். பொதுவெளியில் இருந்து தனிமைப்படுத்திக் கொண்டு கரோனா பரவலைத் தடுப்பதில் நம் பங்கை முழுமையாக இந்த சமூகத்துக்கு அளிப்போம்.

Dejavu Movie Review: Logic goes for a toss in this rudderless thriller

Rating: ( 2 / 5).

Debutant Arvindh Srinivasan's Dejavu has an impressive start. A drunk novelist with supposed ESP (Extra Sensory Power) to predict crime scenes, pens a page describing a young girl's kidnap and his fiction turns out to be reality the next day. His predictions are so accurate that he even gets the vehicle numbers of the suspects right, even before they board into one. Though the writer's prediction game is initially fun, the film needed an equally interesting investigation track to keep the momentum going. But, sadly it doesn't. It actually does the opposite, the cumbersome investigation turns the tables and the one predicting the forthcoming event is the audience, not the writer in the story. Cast: Arulnithi, Madhoo, Achyuth Kumar, Kali Venkat, Smruthi Venkat Director: Arvindh Srinivasan

It is disappointing that the scenes which manage to escape this predictability are the ones where logic goes for a toss and the audience is taken for granted. In an attempt to make the twists unguessable Arvindh sabotages the little he had built till then by making his leads react in unusual ways and take the oddest decisions. For instance, in an ideal world, the writer would have been taken into custody within hours and the secret behind the ESP would be out in minutes. But here the DGP appoints a dull PC to overview the writer as he happily pens the crime scenes, sipping a glass of booze.

The penultimate reveals towards the end of the whodunit, makes us wonder more about 'Whys' and 'hows'. And the tool the filmmaker uses to drop these reveals is monologues! Almost every main character goes on a confession spree as if they were waiting for their turn in a queue.  Had the filmmaker opted to show things visually instead of making his characters recite them, the damage would have been considerably dampened.

Achyuth Kumar and Arulnithi's invested performances and Ghibran's terrific score are perhaps the only elements that keep us invested in this unengaging ride. Casting a limited actor like Madhoo in a role with layers does take an extra toll on the overall film.

For those unaware, Dejavu was shot parallel in Telugu as Repeat , starring Naveen Chandra in Arulnithi's role. Sadly, significant chunks of the Telugu portion have been retained for the Tamil version too. This only adds more to the misery.

Dejavu has been titled so to denote the series of events that repeat themselves after a year, exactly on the same day. But the abysmal screenplay and staging of the film give us the Deja Vu of a dozen woeful thrillers that we remember for all the wrong reasons.

Dejavu Movie Review: A Half-Decent Setup Gets Lost In A Sea of Contrivances

Cast:  Arulnithi, Madhoo, Achyuth Kumar, Ragav Vijay, Smruthi Venkat, Chetan, Kali Venkat

Director:  Arvindh Srinivasan

It might not be an entirely original idea but it's kind of cool for a thriller to begin with a pulp fiction writer confessing to a police officer that he's being hounded by the fictional characters he's written. It's part Stranger Than Fiction, part Weird Science when the whole State of Tamil Nadu waits for novelist Subramani's (Achyut Kumar) every new word to figure out what happened to a missing woman. This isn't just any woman—she's the daughter of the DGP (an out-of-place Madhoo) and the fact that the police cannot track her makes the case sensational for the media and an embarrassment for the force. With this flight of fancy, we're primed for an investigative thriller that needs a sort of magic for the screenplay to move forward.

It's a perfectly workable setup placed in a perfectly workable scenario. By taking the conflict of this writer and by placing it into the context of the whole State machinery, the film makes a vague, esoteric issue into everyone's issue. The writer-director doubles down on this by introducing a secret agent named Vikram (Arulnithi) who the DGP contacts to bring back her daughter and we also get an action sub-plot. On one side is Vikram placing the film in a realistic world with real-world problems, even as the other keeps peeping into Subramani's notes for what's going to happen next.

This is also where the screenplay starts to wobble. After investing so much time for such a setup, you expect the film to go all out and push this conceit to take us new to new places. At first, every word the novelist writes truly matters in the scheme of things, but with each passing scene, it recedes to the background, first as a recurring joke and later, as a complete distraction.

This becomes far more frustrating when the idea is almost entirely abandoned to backtrack on this fantastical idea to make it seem plausible. By doing this, it's removing the only aspect of the film that sets it apart from the hundreds of other films that talk about similar cases and the investigation that follows.

But this isn't the only issue. The film then transforms into a series of contrivances that are written around giving you one twist after another. For instance, the film breaks for the interval with a corpse being fished out of a lake. Given that the film until then was about finding a missing woman, it's done intentionally to create an event. But the way even this moment is tossed aside, without anything further being mentioned about this body removes any tension the screenplay was about to create for itself. If the film doesn't care about the missing woman, why should we? These contrivances keep coming and somewhere in its effort to shock us, we stop caring anymore even when it has a valid point to make about encounter killings.

Dejavu Movie Review (2022)

Arulnithi's dejavu tamil movie review - film directed by arvindh srinivasan.

Dejavu Movie Cast & Crew

Arulnithi's next outing in Kollywood, Dejavu has released in cinemas today and it is a crime thriller directed by debutant Arvindh Srinivasan. Achyuth Kumar, Madhubala, Mime Gopi, Kaali Venkat, and Smruthi Venkat form the supporting cast. So, how has the film fared? Read on to know! 

STORY:  DGP Asha Pramod's (Madhubala) daughter Pooja (Smruthi Venkat) gets kidnapped by unidentified men and the following incidents after the kidnap happens exactly as predicted by a crime novelist (Achyuth Kumar). Whatever the novelist writes, it happens in real life, making the case look more puzzled and mysterious. An undercover cop named Vikram Kumar (Arulnithi) is assigned the case to resolve the mystery and find Pooja. How did the writer manage to predict every single development of the kidnap and did Vikram Kumar solve the case forms the rest of the plot.  

SCREENPLAY, DIALOGUES & DIRECTION:  Debut director Arvindh Srinivasan has got a promising premise in hand and it is definitely a story that has got the potential to be converted into celluloid. The film starts off on an impressive note and it piques our curiosity. A crime novelist writer comes to a Police station to file a complaint that his fictional characters exist in real life and they commit the crimes exactly how it has been written in the book. This idea definitely has your interest and the first half keeps you glued. However, the fizz is not maintained throughout. The film has inconsistent pacing with a mix of flat scenes followed by some well-written and executed scenes.

The second half is where the lag is felt and the film falls flat after a point. Too much information is fed in the last 20 minutes and as a result, the final act looked quite hurried. Over a point, it feels like you obviously know a twist is coming up. The story holds a certain level of suspense and the way each knot is untied in the screenplay is a job well done. Despite lacking believability and logic, especially the climax, the twists might sell well with the general audiences.

With more confined writing in the screenplay and better execution, Dejavu would have been a highly compelling mystery thriller, but what we have got is a lesser impactful version of the same. The problem with Dejavu is that what sounded exciting and intriguing on paper doesn't really translate with the same impact on-screen, especially the most important climax reveal.  

CAST:  Arulnithi delivers a measured performance as the undercover cop Vikram Kumar and he does his part convincingly. However, we get a sense of dejavu indeed as we have seen him in similar kind of stories and situations already in the past. It is probably time for the talented actor to shift gears and be a part of stories of other genres.

Achyuth Kumar is one of the most interesting casting choices and he pulls off the role on an impressive note. Due credits to MS Bhaskar for his excellent dubbing. Madhubala's performance is quite okay, but she doesn't seem to sit perfectly for the role of Asha Pramod. Kaali Venkat leaves his mark with the limited screen time that he gets. The rest of the fresh faces in the film could have put out better performances. 

TECHNICAL:  PG Muthiah's cinematography is definitely one of the positive aspects of Dejavu and the framings are neat and the colours contribute to the mood of the film. Ghibran's music tries to add more tension to the scenes and some of them succeed in its mission. The score might remind you of Ghibran's previous works, especially Ratsasan. The edit work is fine, except for the last segment which could have had a better treatment.     SO?  The promising story and interesting twists save Dejavu to a fair extent.

Verdict: Despite the shortcomings, Dejavu is a watchable, engaging mystery thriller, thanks to its suspenseful story! 

Galatta Rating: ( 2.75 /5.0 )

Dejavu, a crime thriller fails to live up to expectations

Arulnithi's performance is good and he has given what the role demands. Madhoo, who plays the role of DGP, tries to hold the film in some places. The film sets the right mood here and there, thanks to its technical aspects, like cinematography and music, by Ghibran, whose background score is powerful and intriguing. Arulnithi's effort to try something inventive is laudable, but Dejavu is certainly not a film you can experience more than once. (more)

Review by Santhosh ★★★

Arulnidhi having the worst day humanely possible(movie series)

Review by 𝗡 𝗜 𝗞 𝗛 𝗜 𝗟 🍿 ★★★

Dejavu is an investigative mystery thriller which is very promising in terms of building up the plot. A crime novelist writes stories and the exact same events take place simultaneously in the real world. One such story he writes is about the police DGP’s daughter’s kidnap and the worried DGP appoints a renowned officer within the department as an undercover agent for this case and seeks his help.  

The first half of the film was really interesting and well setup and it was hard to guess where it could be heading. Going by the title of the film and the proceedings in the first half, I expected some out-of-the-world concept to be revealed in the end which resulted in…

Review by Akash ★★★

The knots were tied very well but while revealing it they had flaws.

Decent one.

Nejamve first half semmaya irudhichu nga second half reveal panura ellame justify panuran nu chappu nu mudichitanga.

Now I understand why it’s named Dejavu. 

It’s because I have experienced it before Evaru, Badla, invisible guest super Kai kudu

Review by ~Vee~ ★★

Once again, another movie with potential which ended up taking a dive into disappointment upon second act.

Review by Selva ★★½

They shouldn't have casted Madhubala here. It is somewhat watchable inspite of the poor direction especially in the latter half.

Review by Alicecharles ★½

En da twist twist nu forced ah vechu usura vanguringa ! Watha what’s with the final twist? 🤦🏽‍♀️ Ponga da !

Review by Jillu's ★★★

Personally saying, Arulnithi havent disappointed me till now whenever I see his movies. He is a trustable star for me. Dejavu - a thriller which is packed with more twist and turns. Asusual arulnithi rocked with his performance. The 1st half of the movie was so gripping and it was so interesting. The director didnt take much time to get into the story. Till interval we were unable to predict what is happening. The interval block was good because I was able to predict it. Then coming to the 2nd half this is the place where director lost the moment which he had in the 1st half. There were so much logical issues. We were able to predict 2 to…

Review by Raj_Mohan ★★★

Really a good first half followed by a average second half.. They revealed lot of things in 2nd half, but felt something is missing.. Nice climax twist.. Overall a decent thriller. 3.25/5
