Even before the titles begin to roll, the first scene introduces us to a young person who is convinced that money can buy him all the respect he needs to exist in this world. The protagonist's motivation is made obvious by director Karthik G. Krish, who also constructs a scenario that might have gone in a number of other directions.However, the script suddenly veers off course halfway through, diluting the unfolding conflicts with seldom humorous comedy moments.
Takkar is a movie that ought to have been released in the 2000s. The plot twists in director Karthik G Krish's movie were so obvious that you could have predicted them months in advance. The movie is so ridiculous and ludicrous on so many levels that every scene ends up being humorous without meaning to. Yogi Babu's encounter with his mafia father takes up a significant portion of the scene. Although the conversation is meant to be humorous, you laugh at the absurdity playing out on screen rather than the jokes.
A young man named Gunz (Siddharth), who has the desire to become wealthy, goes from his birthplace all the way to Chennai early on in the movie in order to realise his goals. After trying his hand at several occupations, most of which left him feeling disrespected, he settles on working as a cab driver. In parallel, a gang that makes money by engaging in all anti-social actions is also introduced to us. Young girls are abducted for ransom and sold to sex predators. Their lives unexpectedly meet, offering Siddharth the chance to make thousands of dollars. Additionally endangering his career, he destroys his automobile in the process.
The plot becomes jumbled, and the pace worsens, wasting the movie's potential. The second half's comedic scenes, which are supposed to provide some humour, fall flat and don't add anything to the plot. Sometimes, Yogi Babu's one-liners are effective, but not enough to make the movie.
While Siddharth and other actors provide outstanding performances, the script falls short of telling a gripping tale. In actuality, Siddharth steals the show throughout, and there isn't a single time in the movie that we could pinpoint. Despite being regarded as the film's turning point, the second half's love scenes generally feel like fluff with a song. Divyansha Kaushik has a nice screen presence, but her performance opportunities are limited.However, the song Nira Nira from the pre-climax slightly improves the atmosphere. The score by Nivas Prasanna successfully enhances the storyline. However, the cinematography should have been improved, especially for a genre that doesn't just rely on substance.
Takkar could be effective for certain people who just want to see an entertainment and leave with nothing. But apart from that, it's a really ordinary watch.
