Devils Double Next Level (DD Next Level) is a new Tamil comedy horror film by S. Prem Anand. It features Santhanam as the main character and is the fourth film in the Dhilluku Dhuddu series, following DD Returns (2023). Let us find out how this film has been shaped in our review of Devil’s Double Next Level Review.
Story:
A film critic gets caught in a movie created by an angry director and must endure its dangerous plot, with help from a magical diary, to break free.
Performances:
Together, Santhanam and Motta Rajendran create some good laughs. Selvaraghavan and Gautham Vasudev Menon feature in unusual roles. Geethika Tiwary, Nizhalgal Ravi, Kasthuri, Redin Kingsley, Yashika Anand, and Maran are okay.
Analysis:
Prem Anand directs DD Next Level (Devils Double Next Level), a comedy-horror spoof starring Santhanam as a YouTube reviewer. The core idea combines satire with a film-within-a-film format.The film cleverly references other movies and songs, with some being quite effective. While self-awareness is pleasant, DD Next Level loses momentum as it continues. The beginning sequences are promising, and the rest of the first half is acceptable. But, the latter part feels exhausting because of repetitive and crude jokes, as only some scenes and the climax deliver.
Positives:
- First Half An Hour
- Meta References
- Climax
Negatives:
- Crude Humor
- Dragged Second Half
- Repetitive Parts
DD Next Level Movie Review and Verdict:
Santhanam’s Devils Double Next Level (DD Next Level) is a template horror comedy with a few parts working well and the other being tedious.
