I (Ai) 2015 telugu movie Review
'I' is a story in non linear narration and is difficult to write. To keep it simple, A physically deformed man with a hunch, Lingesh (Vikram) kidnaps a popular model Diya (Amy Jackson) from her wedding. From then the non-linear narration begins with the flashback and the present. The Flash back is about Lingesh (Vikram) a bodybuilder aspiring to win Mr.India title. He admires Diya and falls for her instantly when he meets her during an ad shoot. He wins Mr. Andhra title and then Diya asks him to shoot an (I) doubt ad with him. The ad receives huge response and company owner plans to shoot every big ad with him. In the meantime, Diya gets engaged to Lingesh. But all of a sudden this hunch back and the kidnap happens. What is the reason? forms the rest of the story.
Vikram plays three different roles as a bodybuilder, hunched man and a werewolf. He puts in all the hardwork in the World for the film and it is seen in the every frame. Particularly the Lingesh Character is awesome with a very natural look using heaps of makeup and prosthetic. Amy Jackson is oozing glamour in every frame. However the disappointing thing is the zero chemistry between the lead pair. Upen Patel is impressive as a wicked model.Suresh Gopi is good as the doctor. Ram Kumar Ganeshan and Ojas M. Rajani are adequate in their small roles. Santhanam comedy fails to work.
It may be the first time Shankar himself let down a film. The movie script seem to be very weak and does not have the emotional connect usually the backbone in Shankar's films. Vikram's hard work is complimented by every one, Cinematograher PC Sriram, AR Rahman's music and Muthuraj's Art work but all of them were squandered by Shankar.
The movie is painfully long (over 3 hours) with several irritating scenes like gay romance. The only reason if some one sits through out for the film is the expectation on Shankar. Production Values of Aascar Ravinchandran are top notch.
Finally you may watch the film for the technical brilliance, hard work of Vikram and some breath taking locales, if you are expecting a Shankar kind of magic, get ready to get disappointed.
