Review of the film Trigger: A sophisticated cop thriller that keeps us interested
The plot of Trigger is that an undercover police officer must bring down the kidnapping ringleader in order to save his father, a former police officer who suffers from Azheimer’s disease.

Review of the film Trigger: Trigger centres on a crime that happened almost three decades ago. The movie opens in 1993 with a risky assault on the police commissioner’s office. The attack’s mastermind, Michael (Rahul Dev Shetty, who gives a terrifying performance), is imprisoned on a minor charge so he may continue his business from behind bars. The scene then shifts to the present, specifically 2021, where Prabhakaran (Atharvaa) and his family are first introduced. His father Sathya Moorthy, a former police officer who was forced to leave the force amid suspicion, is currently afflicted with Alzheimer’s. The commissioner (Azhagamperumal) enlists the selfless Prabha into an undercover team to investigate corruption in the police force and manage.

Prabha becomes aware of a child racket operation as a result of the kidnapping of Nisha (Baby Dhikshitha), a child who his brother and sister-in-law intended to adopt. He realises as he begins to investigate that the crime might be related to a case his father was working on in 1993. Michael also realises that his cover has been revealed, and the two soon engage in a tense struggle of strength vs wits.

Sam Anton and Atharvaa once again collaborate to provide us a nearly suspenseful action thriller with just enough intelligence to keep us fascinated. Sam Anton previously gave us the solid cop drama 100. In order to commit a major crime, a criminal organisation must draw the police’s attention to a series of smaller crimes that are done at the same time. The director bases his story on this idea. He often creates situations where the action occurs in several locations at once, in line with the nature of the crime. The director provides us events that happen simultaneously, which not only create suspense but also give the scenes. This is made possible by some excellent writing that is supplemented by precise editing by Ruben.

Additionally, he gives the antagonist enough strength that his protagonist likewise seems weak, which causes us to worry about both their safety and the safety of others around them.
He has a lead character in Atharvaa who can be sassy and inspire us to cheer for Prabha. Some members of the supporting cast are also pretty good, effortlessly evoking sympathy for their roles from the audience. We have Chinni Jayanth, who portrays a player on Prabha’s squad and has a moment of brilliance. As a helpless man who is losing his memory, Arun Pandian also does a good job of persuading. There are echoes of what we saw in Kuttram 23 in the plot with Prabha’s brother (Krishna) and sister-in-law (Vinothini), but the performers pull it off as well.

Any issues, if any, are often minor. For instance, the excessively drawn-out action sequences, which, despite being dynamic, are rather extravagant and unimaginative. A poorly planned song starring Prabha and his team mates is included in the opening sequences that introduce the plot. However, the director makes the prudent decision to forgo providing a full-fledged romance track. Instead, Tanya Ravichandran provides the expected love interest, but she is skillfully woven into the story.

After collaborating with Alia Bhatt, director “ki band baj jaati hai,” Vasan Bala explains why

Vasan Bala, who directed Alia Bhatt in the ill-fated Jigra, has opened up on his experience working with the actor.
Vasan Bala collaborated with actor Alia Bhatt for the first time this year in the jailbreak thriller Jigra. While critics praised the film, it did not work at the box office. A minor controversy erupted around the time of the release when a statement from Vasan about producer Karan Johar sending his half-baked script to Alia was misconstrued. Now, the filmmaker has opened up on his experience working with Alia, emphasising that she spoils her directors.

Vasan Bala on working with Alia Bhatt

In an interaction with Mashable India, Vasan said, “I think every director who I love should get an opportunity to work with Alia Bhatt. They will be spoilt and then unki agli film mein band bajegi (They will suffer in their next film),” adding, “She has no entourage, nothing, she is always ready. Sometimes, I didn’t even have to communicate how I wanted a scene; a gesture from my end would be enough for her to understand what I needed in that shot.”

The filmmaker also recalled a day on set when both he and Alia let loose and welcomed a more fun environment on the otherwise grim film set. “Usually, sets are funny, but this film lacked humour, so the environment on the set used to remain quiet serious. This one day, we had a lighter day, and we were just chit-chatting and laughing,” he added.
