Movie Review : Fourth Floor
Dheeran ( Aari Arjunan) loves Anu but they are separated due to certain issues.
Years later Dheeran gets a call from her asking him for help for which he comes to Chennai. There he stays in an apartment on the fourth floor which leads to a whole lot of problems and even puts his life in danger. He is unable to even locate Anu.
What is the secret of the fourth floor? Where is Anu? Who is behind all this? Who wants to eliminate Dheeran and why?
The film is a supernatural thriller and involves several issues such as land grabbing scam and corruption.
As far as the making goes, the suspense is kept up and the momentum is maintained by the screenplay for the most part. We are intrigued about what's happening right from the word go. The non- linear narration helps in keeping the tension on going.
However, from time to time there is a lag and at times its not quite clear in which direction the story is heading.
However, once the film picks up in the second half, things move faster. Several matters come to light and the film turns into a vendetta story for those who have been wronged. There is an emotional angle involving the aged abandoned by their children, the importance of family values and avoiding petty issues among couples to live a more meaningful life, which strike a chord.
Aari Arjunan fits the bill of the angst ridden young man trying to solve a mysterious riddle and fighting injustice and does a good job.
Deepshikha as Shwetha, a girl who lives in the apartment, delivers a neat performance.
Overall Fourth Floor, makes for a time pass watch, attempts to be a different kind of supernatural horror movie with a social angle.
