Cast: Naveen Chandra, Shashank, Abhirami, Reyaa Hari, and others
Director: Lokkesh Ajls
Streaming On: Prime Video
Eleven Movie is a crime thriller directed by Lokesh Ajls, and stars Naveen Chandra as the lead. The film received average reviews upon its theatrical release, and did not do well at the theatres. Now, it has arrived on OTT on Prime Video and let us see how the film has been shaped up in our review.
Story:
Eleven Movie’s story is about a top cop Aravind (Naveen Chandra) who investigates a series of crimes in Vizag. Aravind discovers a link between the murders and a school called Twin Bird, which admits only twins. Who committed these murders? What happened at the school? The rest of the film answers the above-mentioned questions.
Performances:
Naveen Chandra shines in his character and anchors the film. He finds cop characters easy to portray. Shashank also delivers a good impact as the police officer. The film features Abhirami in a pivotal part, and the actress gives a perfect performance. Reyaa Hari, the female lead, lacks impact as she fails to deliver the required expressions in crucial scenes.
Analysis:
Lokkesh Ajls writes and directs Eleven. The story centers on a murder mystery, but the director includes a twist involving a school for twins. This adds a new perspective to the film. However, the film fails to captivate beyond this point.
It starts on a positive note, but soon the investigation parts are ordinary and do not provide the required intrigue. The flashback episode and the reason for the crimes are impressive, and the emotions also come good.
After the flashback, again the screenplay misses the effect and continues to proceed further with uninteresting parts and ends with a final stunning revelation that could have produced much thrill.
Positives:
- Few Important Scenes in the First Half
- Flashback
- Twist Near the Climax
Negatives:
- Weak Narration
- Unexciting Crime/Investigation Scenes
- Dull Moments
Eleven Movie Review and Verdict:
Director Lokkesh’s Eleven lacks excitement, offering few thrills and more dull moments. Naveen Chandra shines, the flashback episode impresses, and the last twist holds good suspense. It can be watched on the OTT with no expectations.
