Charlie movie review

Charlie movie review:

Summary:

Charlie is a very good, quirky, interesting movie. Starts off with an unconventional Tessa (played by Parvathy) staying in a room previously occupied by Charlie. Charlie has left some of his belongings including a picture and half-finished picture story. Tessa gets interested in that and pursues the story. By the end, the mystery and non-conventional nature of Charlie (played by Dulquer) eclipses her quirkiness such that you won't even realize what hit you. Brilliant from Dulquer and Parvathy is so very good as well. 8.75/10 IMO. Go and watch the movie if you haven't. (available on Dailymotion website with subtitles)

Details (no spoilers)

Positives:

1. Dulquer is absolutely brilliant and convincing as the mysterious, quirky, kind hearted Charlie. You only see Charlie, not Dulquer while watching the film. Top 3 performance from him along with the roles in Sita Ramam and Chup (in whatever order) IMO.

2. Parvathy does very well as the unconventional and earnest Tessa.

3. The story is very well written (for most part atleast) and keeps you very interested all the while.

4. The dialogues/screen play are very good as well (for most part atleast)

5. The music/songs are very good.

6. The support cast is very good.

7. The scenery/settings/cinematography is just so apt and very well done.

Negatives/Shortcomings:

1. The delay in the meeting of Tessa and Charlie. Wish it would have been a little earlier.

2. Didn't particularly like the 1st part of intro scene between Charlie and the thief Suni/D'Souza. I don't think it fits well with Charlie's character that they show in the rest of the film. 1 or 2 other scenes are a little crude.
