Pizza - Hot and thrilling Delivery

FRIDAY REVIEW- PIZZA- Karthik Subbaraj lands into the Bigger cinema ,  thanks to Kalaignar Tv's "NAALAYA IYAKKUNAR" . After making several short films, PIZZA forms the first full length Thriller movie from Karthik. The title aptly suits the film as it moves around a Pizza Delivery Boy.

Michael is working in a restaurant as a pizza delivery boy. He lives in together with his child hood friend Uma, a story writer who has special interest for the thriller ones. The movie starts with the daily deliveries of Michael and later at home, he comes to know that Uma is pregnant. At first , he is not ready to accept but after a lot of thoughts and a round of booze with his restaurant mates (Tamil : " Sarakku adichha thaan sila vishyangaluku solution kidaikum"), he decides to move on and get married.

Like any other day , Michael receives a delivery order for Anna Nagar . He delivers it and while he asks for the bill payment, he is made to wait by Smitha (lady who lives in that bungalow). Suddenly the power goes off and Smitha goes upstairs for the change,  and here starts the thriller ride . Delayed length of silence and sudden sounds make Michael go upstairs but only to find Smitha dead, nailed to the wall. Horrified by the incidents , he runs for his life and is stuck indoors as the doors are jammed. Post Interval, a series of killings follow  and why it is happening ? Is it really a ghost or a human killing ? These will be answered only at the theatres. Any more revealing would do injustice to the horror script.

Performance wise, Camera and sound department gets the first claps even before the casting. Cinematography at night is really a tough task and if the supporting thrill music goes well, it makes the perfect masala and it works out well for the director. Next,  to the casting department, Vijay Sethupathi (of Thenmerku paruva kaatru fame) is the main lead and his acting skills comes out good when he is stuck at the bungalow. Ramya (of Kulla nari kootam) gives him good lead from the female side. Other characters for the supporting roles jump out straight from any low budget cast list , including Naalaya iyakkunar sets.

Overall Pizza is served with the perfect combination of toppings to the customer needs and necessarily is delivered hot . Go for the new genre of tamil cinema and you surely will enjoy this dish.. RATED 3.5/5
