Despite being a near 100 crore budgeted flick, Shankar’s “I” garnered somewhat negative talk in many centres across Tamilnadu and Telugu states. What is Bollywood saying about this flick then? As the visual effects in the movie are of international standard, surely Bollywood expects something aboriginal and innovative. Here’s what some critics from b-town felt about “I”.
“I is not just about Imagination and Indulgence, but there is lot of Incorrectness too. Though it is enjoyable mostly, there are lot of overtones with run of the mill old-school points on LGBT community and virginity”, a critic said. However, youngsters felt that “though computer graphics are advanced and took “I” to next level, mindset of our directors is not advancing. Still, desi films sound like desi films only”.
Some people compared Rajamouli’s Makki (Eega Hindi version) and I, and stated that when anyone could enjoy Makki why not I? “Both have known stories, predictable plots and yet quality visual effects”, they added. On a whole I received applause for its efforts from critics like an old wine in new bottle, but we need to see what collections will say.
