Black Movie Review: A Mysterious Journey Starring Jeeva and Priya Bhavani Shankar*
Directed by KG Balasubramani, Black features Jeeva and Priya Bhavani Shankar in a unique story that marks Jeeva's return to the big screen. The film revolves around Vasantha (Jeeva) and Aranya (Priya), a couple who, after getting married, move into a new house near the beach. Their vacation takes a mysterious turn when they notice a light on in the neighboring house, leading to unexpected twists.
Black is inspired by the Hollywood film Coherence and blends elements of science fiction with mystery. The performances of both leads shine, with their chemistry adding depth to the film. Cinematographer Gokul Binay captures the eerie atmosphere beautifully, particularly during the darker scenes, enhancing the film's horror elements.
While the background score by Sam CS Asathi complements the film well, some mysteries may feel overly convoluted, reflecting its Hollywood roots. Overall, Black offers a thrilling yet puzzling experience that showcases Jeeva's return to cinema.
