Review of the film Kaatteri: This scary comedy has passed its prime

Review of the movie Kaatteri: In Kaatteri, director Deekay reuses the setup from his first film Yaamirukka Bayamey to create a new horror-comedy that features gullible heroes, an eclectic cast of comic characters, and an even more eclectic collection of ghosts. The main characters in this story are foolish small-time criminals who have incurred the wrath of their boss, a terrifying gangster. They decide to flee there with a psychiatrist whom their boss had assigned them to kidnap and an unaware policeman after learning of a village that is home to treasure. But they don’t realise it’s a ghost town until they actually arrive at the location.

While Yaamirukka Bayamey didn’t invent anything new, it was creative enough to provide us with a unique experience and set itself apart from the glut of horror comedies that were popular at the time it was released in Tamil cinema. Kaatteri would have debuted at the tail end of the horror comedy craze if not for production setbacks, which would have given it a period feel. But now that the trend has changed, the movie seems like an anomaly that has outlived its usefulness. It doesn’t help this one’s case that it treads on ground that has almost been covered by movies of its calibre.

There isn’t much to really impress us other than the concept of basing a story around the ghosts we hear in our folktales, such as Kaatteri, Maathamma, Mohini, and Echakkutty, and the opening set-piece where we witness a mass murder. The actors are in fine form, and there are a few laughs and fewer scares, but these don’t feel like enough. The treatment of its female characters, who are frequently objectified, is the biggest letdown. The film feels the most dated when male actors are seen gazing at, lusting after, or invading the personal space of the female characters in the name of comedy.

A week following RRR’s triumph, Ram Charan claims he didn’t leave his house.

The actor Ram Charan has discussed his approach to success and the weight of his father Chiranjeevi’s heritage. the actor disclosed that following the success of SS Rajamouli’s RRR, he didn’t leave the house for a week.

“I’ve hosted events when my films didn’t work out.”
Ram said to the magazine that he is the type of actor who, in terms of his work, doesn’t accept pressure. Speaking about his reaction when RRR became successful, he said, “My inability to handle pressure is either a strength or a weakness.” In reality, I have thrown parties when a movie doesn’t perform well. Additionally, I recall that for that one week after RRR became successful, I didn’t come out of the house. I was relieved, relaxed and enjoyed family time. So, with me, it’s a contrast.”

“I have faith in what I’m doing right now.”
Ram was also asked if he felt pressured to continue his father’s legacy, because he is Chiranjeevi’s son. He stated that he believes in living in the present rather than dwelling on the past. “I don’t know how to react when I see someone like my father in the house,” he remarked. I think what I’m doing now and today is significant. For that day, I believe I’m acting morally as a brother, father, and son. And if I can succeed at it every day, I believe I can succeed at it in the next years.

SS Rajamouli’s RRR, which debuted in 2022 and starred Jr. NTR, Alia Bhatt, and Ajay Devgn, was a huge hit. When the song Naatu Naatu, written by MM Keeravaani and featuring lyrics by Chandrabose, won a Golden Globe and an Oscar in 2023, it caused waves in the film’s soundtrack as well.

Kiara Advani will co-star alongside Ram in Shankar’s upcoming film Game Changer. Additionally, he will appear in films directed by Buchi Babu Sana and Sukumar.
