Test Movie Review

The movie Test brings you one such story that will bring a rush of emotions to you when you watch this. The first half of the movie seems to be quite slow and might not be able to grab your attention. The story takes an unexpected turn in the second half as things get more interesting. The movie also has a very impactful concept and direction, which perfectly balances the dramatic and tension-filled elements.

Another powerful aspect of the movie is the cast’s performances. R Madhavan plays his role with perfection, clearly showing the intensity of his acting skills. Siddharth also nails his performance and is surely worth watching. Additionally, Nayantara and Meera Jasmine are authentic in their performances, balancing the chaos around them. Several other supporting cast members have played their parts well. However, several cast members seem to lack emotional depth.

Furthermore, the cinematography and editing of the movie stand out. However, occasionally, you might encounter some issues with the pacing of the movie. So, it fails to build a meaningful connection with its audience. Although the background music is praiseworthy, it still fails to create a dramatic atmosphere. It could have been a much more interesting emotional drama, but several aspects of the movie result in diluting the overall impact.

Final Verdict

Test is not completely flawless in blending drama and thriller. However, it does keep us engaged at certain points, but it’s not constant. Despite this, it is surely worth watching if you’re a fan of R Madhavan.
