Diary, Arulnithi's following movie, opened in theatres today. This is the director's third release in the previous two months. Innasi Pandiyan, a newcomer, directed Diary, an investigative mystery thriller that happens to be Arulnithi's specialty. The teaser and trailer held out a lot of promise and piqued the interest of movie fans. Has the movie delivered on what it promised? We'll star.

STORY:

When a newlywed couple was murdered while on their honeymoon in Ooty, Varadhan (Arulnithi), a rookie police officer, decided to take up the investigation. He discovers various riddles and runs into a number of unexpected events as he sets out on the mission to solve the case. The film explores the case's ultimate resolution as well as the influence it had on Arulnithi personally.

SCREENPLAY, DIALOGUES & DIRECTION:
Diary has an intriguing narrative that manages to keep you engaged to some degree. The movie does, of course, occasionally go off course and make mistakes, but overall its tight narrative succeeds in keeping your interest. Up until the pre-climax, there is a certain amount of cleverness in the writing, and the guessing game is in full swing. Although some of the twists and turns are expected, the majority do catch you off guard, and the way the dots are joined appears to have been expertly done.

Diary only manages to be a somewhat entertaining movie thanks to a few clever moments like this. You are fascinated in particular by the interval sequence and the climactic disclosure, and the story components are deftly interwoven. Innasi Pandiyan, a debut filmmaker, shows potential in his script and execution.

The horror element doesn't have the impact the filmmaker intended, which is a drawback. The tension between mystery and horror is unconvincingly maintained, and it appears that the horror components were included only for effect. In the first half, there are a few unnecessary sequences that take up screen time, and the crew should have used the scissors more effectively. Certain characters' writing is hazy; for example, the heroine is initially portrayed as a fearless and brave lady, but when she is in a position where she needs to hit the rowdies across from her, it is the hero who saves the day. A better arc was also required for a few extra characters.

CAST: 
Arulnithi embodies the role perfectly and has no trouble playing it. His sincere and convincing portrayal gives the movie's sombre tone more life. With her short screen time, debutante Pavithrah Marimuthu, who plays the female protagonist, does a good job in her role. Shah Ra sometimes manages to make people chuckle. Since the amateur acting renders the emotionally powerful sequences with little impact, the director should have gotten more from the performances of the new performers.

SO?
Despite its flaws, Arulnithi's Diary is a watchable movie because to its clever script!.
