Bhooloham (பூலோகம்)

 

Production: Venu Ravichandran

Cast:  Jayam Ravi, Trisha Krishnan,

Direction: N.Kalyanakrishnan

This film narrates the tale of a boxer, Bhooloham played by Jayam Ravi hailing from the north Madras region and the atrocities of a private media group that looks at everything with the monetary lens.

The casting idea is flawless, from Prakash Raj, Ponvannan, Shanmugarajan to Nathan Jones, every artist fits appropriately into the proposed character sketch.

Trisha does not appear in a just any other heroine character though the trailer might suggest that. When given a closer look, her character has a good purpose but the forced glamorous quotient could have been avoided as it fails to add any value to the process of narration.

The climax episode featuring the significant boxing match looks real in all the aspects. Pseudo heroism or drama has been avoided that enhances the believability and acceptance of the viewer. Though this episode goes on for a long time, as an experience, it engages well without any lag.

To sum up, if the team had taken care of consistency issues in the narration, Bhooloham would have turned out a better product.
