While a few stories appear normal, it is the screenplay that works wonders. There are a lot of movies where the good story is spoiled by an unengaging screenplay. Nikhil’s ‘SPY’ which arrived this weekend falls in the second category. People expected a lot from it after watching the trailer. Director Garry BH who was a well-known editor before made sure that the teaser and trailer were cut wonderfully.
Many expected a racy thriller going by the top-notch visuals presented in the trailer. But the same magic was not seen in the movie. Mainly, the audience expected a lot from the thread involving Subhash Chandra Bose’s untold story. But it is not utilized properly. Looking at that episode, one can feel that the story has solid content but the way it has been dealt with is quite disappointing.
The intensity and engaging screenplay went missing in this film. Adivi Sesh has become an expert in handling thrillers in Tollywood. No matter who directs the film, Adivi Sesh is the writer and lead actor. He makes sure that the screenplay is arresting and that there are enough twists in the movie to give a thrill to the audience. He spends a lot of time in the pre-production and his execution is amazing too. His tight narration is his major strength and many are now saying that if Adivi Sesh handled ‘SPY’ it would have turned out way better.
