Rambhala known for his hilarious outings joins hands with Mirchi Shiva and Niki Galrani for a horror comedy in Idiot.
Redin Kingsley, Anandaraj, Urvashi, Ravi Mariya, RNR Manohar, Akshara Gowda play supporting roles.
The movie begins with a flashback and murders happen for money. Cut to present. Smitha (Nikki Galrani), a psychiatrist doctor, is kidnapped into a haunted bungalow and Chinrasu (aka) Paandi (Mirchi Shiva), her patient, is off to her rescue. There’s also a gang of four goons who are inside the bungalow, along with a few ghosts. Was Smitha rescued safely from the evil forces is what Idiot is about.
Shiva plays a typical character of him. One-liners and situational.comedy are his strength. He tries to evoke laughter with his body language. Niki Galrani who has a fascination for horror films does what she dies in those movies here well. Kingsley evokes laughter in parts. Anandharaj does evince keen interest in light-hearted roles these days. Ravi Maria, Singamuthu also form part of the story.
The movie has a decent premises but writing lacks novelty. At times, a sense of having watched much before prevails.
A light-hearted fare out in theatres, it is produced by Screen Scene Media Entertainment. A devil’s delight.
