Script Analysis
Only a talented director and actor team can successfully portray blind individuals in key roles in movies. Making the world realize that they are genuinely blind is more difficult than simply recounting their ordeal. Do you recall Andhadhun and Ayushmann Khurrana’s flawless performance, which Sriram Raghavan’s masterful direction complemented? Not every product can achieve that level of mastery, but is it a good idea to replicate a movie while ignoring its core message and attempting to further an ineffective argument? Well.
The central theme of Blind, a remake of the same-titled Korean film from 2011, is a woman’s search for forgiveness and her attempt to stop a murderer from killing more people. Are we willing to commit two hours to a movie that never reaches those emotional high points? Without a doubt, the quick response is no. If you are unable to recognize this and take advantage of it to your advantage when the main character in your subject is blind, who is to blame?
Blind, which Shome Makhija translated into Hindi, comes off more like a replication job than anything more. The movie conjures nothing since even the characters aren’t experiencing it as much as they should in their attempt to convert the Korean product into Hindi without actually mixing it in with any surroundings. Even though the movie begins with a tragedy, the very next scene is so dull and lifeless that the impact of the tragic night is completely lost. A woman has lost both her sight and her brother; her search for redemption cannot be treated as an afterthought.
That endeavor is always dull. A rushed-up screenplay that only wants to wrap everything up takes up the following hour after an hour is spent simply setting up the tale. Between the beginning and the finish, there is so much potential, but regrettably, no one recognizes it. When you adopt a tale, you have the opportunity to improve it and add your perspective. However, Blind never says anything new. There is a villain who is savage and unsettling. He is never given a thorough introduction, a backstory, or an in-depth look at his motivations throughout the film. He simply stalks individuals behind them, terrorizing, and killing them.
Even Gia doesn’t properly receive her atonement. The possibility to save the life of a youngster of the same age as her late brother presents itself to a mother who has lost her sibling. This provides so many possibilities for incorporating feelings and a therapeutic plot. The movie kind of hurries through everything to get to a rushed conclusion without really delving into anything else.
Star Performance
The amount of justice Sonam Kapoor can bring to a challenging role is limited. She makes a lot of effort to adopt the proper mannerism for a blind person. It becomes challenging to convince us that she cannot see since you, the viewer, are aware that she can. Emotions, as I previously stated, are seldom a movie’s strongest suit, and Sonam’s role is no exception. The central theme of the film is people seeking redemption. She has such a singular tone that she would blend in with any background in any movie. The padding she needs to make things work is never provided by the script.
Purab Kohli makes every effort to make his murder look as alluring as he can. But if his department’s base is poor in and of itself, what can even he do? He turns out to be little more than a caricature. Impressive actor Vinay Pathak portrays a police officer. Shubham Saraf is given a portion that is one tone.
Direction, Music
As an assistant director, Shome Makhija has primarily worked on thrillers (Kahaani 2, Badla, Te3n, Yudh). Therefore, when he decides to take on the role of director, he naturally selects another thriller. But in his telling of the same tale, he neglects to include a special soul. Remaking existing works is illegal, but creating new ones is not. Glasgow, the city where the action takes place, never serves as a visual device. Nothing could have changed, and it might be the alley behind your building.
The forgettable music and subpar photography all contribute to the disappointment the film inspires.
The Last Word
Rehashing was the only guiding principle and was never questioned, although Blind might have been developed into a complex thriller that is about more than just killing and chasing people.
