Alcohol

"Alcohol," directed by Meher Tej, is one of those films that kind of leaves you thinking. It dives into a story that feels familiar yet manages to twist it in ways that make you sit up and pay attention. you’ve got Allari Naresh leading the pack, and his performance really grounds the film in a way that’s relatable. He plays a character grappling with personal demons,and you can't help but feel the weight of that struggle as the narrative unfolds. The plot has some pretty dark undertones,exploring themes like addiction,loss, and the messy nature of relationships. It doesn’t just skim the surface; instead,it delves deep, showing how these issues can intertwine and affect not just the individual but everyone around them. There’s a real sense of desperation in how the characters navigate their lives,and it hits home in a way that’s hard to ignore. I mean, it’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion you can't look away, even when you really want to. Visually,the film has a gritty feel to it. The camera work, at times,feels like it’s intruding a bit too close for comfort,which kind of fits with the themes of the movie. it’s not all polished and shiny,and that adds to the rawness of the emotions on display. The lighting plays a significant role too, creating this almost suffocating atmosphere that really enhances the tension. You get the sense that the characters are trapped in their own lives, and the visuals help convey that feeling. Ruhani Sharma, who plays a key role opposite Naresh,brings her own depth to the film. Their chemistry isn't always perfect, but maybe that’s what makes it work. Relationships in real life are often messy, and that’s portrayed pretty well here.

there are moments of connection that feel genuine, but then just as quickly, they’re fraught with misunderstandings and pain. It’s kind of heartbreaking at times, watching these characters struggle to reach out but fail. And let’s not forget Niharika NM,who adds another layer to the story. her character has a complicated relationship with Naresh's character, and their dynamic is super interesting. Sometimes it feels like they’re on the same page,while other times they’re worlds apart. It captures that feeling we all have,like when you’re trying to communicate but just end up missing each other entirely. I can relate to that so much, maybe that’s why her performance stuck with me. but I won’t lie, there are points where the pacing kind of drags a little. certain scenes feel like they stretch on for too long,which can throw you off a bit. It’s like, just when you’re invested, the film takes its sweet time getting to the next big moment. And while I totally get that it’s trying to build tension and atmosphere, it can be a little frustrating. I wonder if that’s just me being impatient, or if it genuinely disrupts the flow. The dialogue is another thing worth mentioning. some lines hit just right, while others can feel a bit stilted. Not sure if that’s by design or just an awkward moment, but it kind of takes you out of the experience. When characters are grappling with heavy issues,you want the dialogue to flow more naturally.
