Dora Movie Review and Rating

Story:

For centuries, a unique palace in a village called Dorapuram was haunted by ghosts. The police officer Satya (Sibiraj) is sent on a mission to discover the truth behind this. When Satya reached Dorapuram and starts looking for clues, he became Viji friendship (Bindu Madhavi) and falls for her. Viji's cousin Veera (Karunakaran) is also in love with Viji and wants to marry her too. When Satya request Viji's father to marry his daughter, he challenges Satya and Veera to survive seven days in the haunted bungalow. Satya and Veera move into the bungalow and start experiencing paranormal activity immediately. Is Satya and Veera survive these seven days? What is the reason behind these paranormal events? How Satyaraj related to all this? These questions form the heart of the story.

Plus Points:-

Dora the greatest asset is the comedy that is infused into the film. Comedy is the only point of the film, and he gets past few chuckles. Sibiraj is strictly average. Satyaraj tries his best within his badly burned role. Bindhu Madhavi is just OK in a character that is unclear. Karunakaran actor takes the icing his comic timing is surprisingly entertaining. The film has a unique concept, and policy makers must be assessed to try something that is out-of-the-box. The episode pre-interval is the climax of the film.

Minus Points:-

The biggest disappointment of Dora is the concept itself. While this sounds impressive on paper, the director has completely failed to properly translate to the big screen. The film lacks clarity and gets stuck trying to be an infusion between horror and comedy. The reason behind the challenge and obsession is poorly explained. The second half is also a brake and bored the audience much time. The film also takes time to get the rolling of real history. History is full of gaps that are simply ignored. The flashback episode messes up the flow of the film. The running time was reduced considerably. The film is also an abrupt end and fails to explain the free ends.

Technical Aspects:-

The values of the production of the film are strictly average. Background music by Siddharth Vipin is mediocre at best. Publishing is a let-down. Working the camera is acceptable. Dialogues are just average.Coming to director Dharani Dharan, it should be noted that he chose a unique concept, it fails to make the most of the opportunity. It seemed that Dharani could not decide between a horror movie or comedy and adds all he could. The film lacks clarity and is scrambled in a big mess when it reached its climax. A more logical story line with own sensations could have entertaining film.

Verdict:-

Overall, Dora is a poorly executed film. The cross between horror and comedy is improper and it is clearly seen on the big screen. Although some comic scenes are entertaining, the rest of the film is pell-mell into a big mess and can be ignored this weekend.
