"Unstoppable: Unlimited Fun," a comedy film starring VJ Sunny and comedian Sapthagiri, hit theatres in Jun, 2023. The film promises laughter and entertainment, but does it deliver? Let's find out in our review.
Plot
The story revolves around two friends, Kohinoor Kalyan (VJ Sunny) and Jilani Ramadas (Sapthagiri), who lose the money saved for Jilani's sister's wedding in cricket betting. In an attempt to retrieve the money, they end up crossing paths with a don named Gnanavel Raja, aka Kadhar (Vikram Aditya). What follows is a series of misadventures as the duo tries to recover their money while dealing with the unexpected consequences.
Pros
VJ Sunny's performance as Kohinoor Kalyan is entertaining, showcasing his rough and tough side with good comedic timing. Sapthagiri's trademark comedy and expressions add value to the film, making it enjoyable.
Supporting actors like Posani Krishna Murali and Bithiri Satti contribute effectively to the story. Director Diamond Ratna Babu manages to maintain a simple storyline and the music adds appeal in certain scenes.
Cons
The film's main drawback lies in its outdated and predictable storyline, lacking novelty. The comedy attempts fall short of creating genuinely hilarious moments, leaving the audience wanting more.
Apart from the lead characters, many supporting roles lack proper characterization, making them forgettable. The villain's inconsistent portrayal diminishes the impact of the conflict scenes.
The film's forgettable heroine and lackluster songs add little value to the overall experience. Several lip-sync issues and unnecessary scenes could have been avoided through better editing.
Technical Aspects
Diamond Ratna Babu's direction disappoints as it fails to create a laugh riot despite the comedic talents of the cast. The cinematography, music, and production values are just average.
Conclusion
"Unstoppable" may have a promising cast, with VJ Sunny and Sapthagiri delivering commendable performances, but it falls short of being a memorable comedy. The film suffers due to its predictable storyline and weak screenplay, resulting in missed opportunities for genuine laughter. While there are some entertaining moments, they are not enough to save the film from being a disappointment for audiences seeking a rib-tickling experience.
