It works better as a fantasy comedy and barely as a horror flick. It’s a film in which the influences are quite evident. Vijay Sethupathi appears only in the second half and his scenes with Taapsee (in a dual role) could’ve been more emotional to make us root for the pair.Īnnabelle Sethupathi doesn’t try to stand out and there’s no need for it. Its model also has a gibs version, showing it was to be destroyable. The HK-707 was to be a static autocannon/CIWS designed to destroy these missiles with its two cannons. In early versions of Half-Life 2, the player was to maneuver missiles around certain areas. It can be found in the Half-Life 2 Beta model files.

The film could’ve been funnier with such a huge cast of popular comedians, but it merely manages to evoke some laughs here and there. The HK-707 is a static weapon/enemy that was cut from Half-Life 2. Scenes with her father Rajendra Prasad serve as some of the best moments of the movie. Taapsee Pannu gets a meaty part as a small-time crook who robs people with her family. It’s not a film without its flaws and grouses but given the overall mood of the film and what it tries to achieve with its quirky plot, one shouldn’t be disappointed.Īlso read: Kodiyil Oruvan movie review: Vijay Antony plays to his strengths in predictable political thriller BiographyAnnabelle Gawer is Professor of Digital Economy at Surrey Business School.An award-winning researcher and educator, Annabelle Gawer is an expert on. If you like logical comedies and don’t mind sitting through a film that makes ghosts sing, dance, and have a gala time you wouldn’t mind Annabelle Sethupathi. This is the kind of film that expects audiences not to take anything seriously. Quite early on, the audience is told not to expect logic when it comes to ghost stories and the film does the same with the sub-plot about reincarnation. The film has a very simple premise but what works in its favour is the fantasy-comedy angle. Cut to a few years later, the palace is inhabited by a bunch of people who’ve turned into ghosts following a curse which doesn’t allow them to step out. Sethupathi brought in the best masons from different parts of the world to make the palace one of a kind but its glory draws some evil attention. The story is about a huge palace, once owned by king Veera Sethupathi (Vijay Sethupathi), who had built it for his wife Annabelle (Taapsee Pannu).
