Reviewer: George Sylex
Overview - We all know Shakti Soundar Rajan is an energizing director since he takes a stab at different genres and ideas. He acquainted Tamil crowds with zombies in Miruthan and space travel in Tik Tik Tik. He has now depicted an out-of-body insight in his most recent release, Teddy, which has landed straightforwardly on Disney+ Hotstar.
Sayyeshaa plays Sri Vidya, a youthful undergrad who has an uncommon blood group. While assisting a driver in the quick outcome of a mishap, she endures a physical issue and is conceded to a hospital where she turns into the casualty of a posse that is engaged with an organ racket. After Sri slips into a state of unconsciousness, her spirit gets moved into a goliath teddy bear who looks for the assistance of Shakti (Arya), a maverick with high educated psyche to save others from the posse, which works out of Azerbaijan. Shakti should rejoin Teddy with her body and shut down the brains behind the posse. Arya figures out how to keep a fair screen presence. It's the sort of execution we've seldom seen from him in quite a while.
Teddy is a clinical crime thriller that has a remarkable treatment that really works to a degree. Larger part of the successions including the teddy bear intrigues you and the children who watch it will likewise appreciate it. The visuals effects work that has gone behind making the teddy bear and its developments are very acceptable and there are no significant glitches. Filmmaker Shakti Soundar Rajan packs an intriguing first half that sets a decent base for the subsequent half. Likewise, the combination among Shiva and the teddy is inspiring and their wonderful kinship is conveniently caught.
But just in the subsequent half the primary issue starts and the film doesn't acquire energy until its end. Teddy is feeble on the contention point and the subject isn't investigated in detail. The organ dealing idea is managed on a surface level and Arya's battle against the clinical wrongdoing end posse closes sooner with no effect. The subsequent half is the place where the film vacillates and experiences different issues. The whole bits that occur in Azerbaijan are tiresome and crash and burn. The successions are not intelligently pressed.
Teddy is a film that has a couple of smart thoughts, however the execution from Shakti Soundar Rajan this time feels awkward and rushed. The film jumps along quite well in the principal half yet there are issues in the second half as for rationale and the actual storyline, which has one an excessive number of insipid arrangements in it. The film's greatest in addition to point is the teddy's essence, which makes it an alternate one to watch, yet one wishes that the character was written in a lovable way. Sayyeshaa has a decent appearance to play in the film, yet Magizh Thirumeni who just comes for around ten minutes altogether, has an extremely immature character.
Director Shakti Soundar Rajan's composing might have been vastly improved, regarding composing of the characters and a more grounded strife. Alongside a superior execution and more grounded composing, Teddy might have bid far superior to what it is currently. With Teddy being one of the superb characters, the degree for more comedy scenes was not all around used. This might have made the intended interest group like it more, particularly kids. The screenplay and introduction were not energizing to sincerely associate with the lead characters and their obstructions.
Final Word - Teddy appeared to be drained completely through: It simply didn't have a newness or energy that brought something new to the genre. The film doesn't hold together in any reasonable manner, however it actually has a waiting passionate force. Teddy may address an alternate way to deal with taking care of genre, however it's not really a compelling one.
A Good Intention Wasted by a Weak Writing!
