Popcorn is a romantic entertainer movie directed by Murali Gandham. The film has Sai Ronak and Avika Gor in the lead roles. The Music is composed by Shravan Baradwaj while MN Bal Reddy is the cinematographer. The film is produced by Bhogendra Gupta under Acharya Creations banner. Heroine Avika Gor also co-produces the film under her Avika Screen Creations banner.

Story:

Two strangers Sameerana (Avika Gor) and Pavan (Sai Ronak) get stuck in the basement of an elevator of a shopping mall after a bomb blast inside the mall. What happens inside the lift? Can their emotions towards each other change in 18 hours? How will they be rescued? Needs to be seen in the film.

What about on-screen performances?

Avika Gor as Sameerana does a pretty decent job with her performance in most of the film. She looks super cute with her toned look after her weight loss. But to be honest, this isn’t one of her best performances till date. She looked over expressive in many scenes here & there throughout the film.

Sai Ronak fails to leave a mark with his performance as Pavan. He looks very handsome in the film but acting-wise, he looks a bit immature and needs to work more on his body language & dialogue delivery.

The film majorly runs on the 2 lead characters inside the lift. So, all the rest of the limited supporting cast go unnoticed.

What about off-screen talents?

The story by Murali Gandham lacks novelty. Though the concept of the film where 2 people getting stuck inside a lift looks good, the way he has treated the film with some absolutely logicless scenes, boring conversations & silly proceedings makes the film a dull affair.

The screenplay too looks very poor and there is not even a single sequence in the film that grabs our attention. Don’t understand who the hell sings songs and celebrates a birthday inside a lift where they are stuck inside it after a bomb blast. And the mouse carrying a phone part is just out of the world. Another biggest blunder is that there is not even a single scene that tells about what happens outside the lift.

The direction by Murali Gandham is weak. His narrative is completely outdated and logicless. He should have gone on to make this into a bit of serious survival drama with light hearted moments rather than adding silly comedy sequences, baseless backstories & connections, and completely unnecessary songs.

The cinematography by MN Bal Reddy is the only plus of the film. It is tough to put in different frames in a limited space but the cameraman has done a pretty decent job.

The music by Shravan Bharadwaj doesn’t stand out. None of the songs impress as they are not required in a film like this. Even the background score is not up to the mark.

The edit by KSR needed to be more sharper. The climax portions look dragged out and nearly 10 minutes could have been cut easily.

The production values are adequate.

What’s Hot?

  • Avika Gore’s toned look
  • Camera Work

What’s Not?

  • Absolutely Logicless Scenes
  • Too Many Unwanted Songs
  • Weak Writing
  • No Emotional Connect
  • Background Score
  • Boring Conversations

Verdict: A completely silly and absurd treatment of a good concept that makes the audience walk out of the theatre whenever a song comes on screen. Poor writing indeed!
