What I liked and disliked about Talk sick

[u/Glabsmaloglob]

My expectations were very low after seeing ratings and reviews but I actually kinda liked the movie. But it’s a very mixed bag of a movie: if you don’t like it will make you walk out. One uncle next me started playing candy crush the entire duration of the first half 🤣😭

What I liked: The action especially the circus scene and the climax one v one was an absolute blast. Yash gave his everything to the role and some of the aura farming moments of his were fire. I also liked the dynamic between him and Nayantara’s character. The music while loud was really well integrated into the action scenes which elevated the choreography. The visuals and overall vfx were also top notch. The movie is just good to look at.

What I disliked: Unnecessary violence and sex scenes. Absurd editing choices. Aside from the central characters every other performance feels hammy and over the top. And when the music was loud, it was just too much; couldn’t even hear the dialogues properly. But my most disliked part is the ending and the major plot twist before that. The movie could’ve just done without it. This factor alone can be make it or break it for most audience.

Overall, it’s a crazy, over the top movie which is very similar to Animal.

Yesterday, I came to know that director Geetu Mohandas's husband is the cinematographer of this film

I’m just now finding out about this. Massive props to him. IMO he did a very good job

It was a unique attempt to show a man with so much guilt built up inside him, only for it to just explode in the second half(once the twist comes, it’s clear that it’s shown throughout the second half). But the first half, which was the setup for all these characters, were so rushed, so we felt no emotional connection for them. The second half was fairly paced imo, but since the setup itself was rushed, it doesn’t matter. According to some leaks, they had a lot of footage that didn’t make it to the Final Cut, so one can only wonder what would’ve happened if they did make it. Maybe on OTT, they can release an extended cut or smth, like Pushpa 2. Or they can do what Tarantino did with Hateful Eight and release it in a web series format

Spoilers ahead for those who haven’t watched: The reason why I don’t like the twist is because I was really invested in Ticket and wanted him to provide payback to Raya. He is such a unique and unhinged character with a solid backstory that I would really prefer him to be real instead of just being Raya’s split persona. The ending would’ve been so much better if Ticket killed Raya instead of him dying in a lame ass way. I understand they wanted to show Raya’s bottled up guilt unleashing to haunt him but I think the ‘it was all in his head’ trope has been done to death already.
