Film Review : Lift

Image
 Directed by Vineeth Varaprasad, Lift, was a much awaited film by its hero Kavin's fans. The film, co- starring Amritha Iyer, dropped on Disney Hotstar on October 1st. The horror thriller is set in an IT company, where both Guru ( Kavin) and Harini ( Amritha) have recently joined. The duo  now get caught up in a bizarre set of happenings one night, as they are the only ones working late.  The main problem seems to centred around a lift with a mind of its own.  By the time the duo learn that the place is haunted,  it's almost too late to get out,  as all exits seem to be blocked.  What is happening and why? Do the duo make it out safely? The setting of a giant corporate building lends itself quite well to the setting for a horror film. The never- ending corridors, umpteen floors, rooms, cubicles, exits and the lift itself, look like a giant trap the protagonists have to escape from and the director uses every avenue possible for scares, surprises and...

It was director Nelson, who motivated me to do it with his debut movie ‘Kolamaavu Kokila’.  Writing lyrics for Chellamma was easy, but ‘Oh Baby’ was quite tough and challenging. I had to gain good reception for it indeed, and I am glad that people are enjoying and appreciating the song. I have very few dialogues in this movie, say around 10. Its other characters keep talking a lot and it was really difficult for me to keep silent. I was wondering how...
