105 Minutes Movie Review

Rating: 2.25 / 5

Main Cast: Hansika Motwani

Director: Raja Dussa

105 Minutes Movie Review: Hansika, who once did many films as a glamorous heroine, is now showing interest in doing heroine-oriented, lady-oriented, and different concept films. As a part of that, she came before the audience on the occasion of this Republic Day with the movie 105 Minutes. It can be said as an experimental film as this film is made as a single shot film with a single character. Now let’s see in the review how much this experimental movie has pleased the audience.

105 Minutes Movie Story:

The whole movie revolves around the character of Janu (Hansika). There will be no other character except her. Janu goes out on some work and comes home. On entering the house, some invisible force is troubling her in various ways. For a while, she is chained to the pillar. She doesn’t really understand what is happening, she doesn’t know who did it but she hears some scary noises along with a voice that scares her and tempts her to do certain things. 

She doesn’t know whose voice it is. After a lot of trouble, she breaks the chains from the pillar and escapes. But no matter how much she tries to avoid the chain, it will not come off her feet. In the middle of the male voice telling her that you are the cause of her death and that’s why she has to go through all this, she gets very scared. Can Janu get out of this situation? What did Janu do to get out of that situation? Who is that male voice? What happened in the end is the rest of the movie.

105 Minutes Movie Analysis:

In recent times all commercial films and routine dramas except for experimental films have become very less. After Mohan Babu’s Sannaf India movie, there were no such experimental films. Especially, it did not come with a star cast.

Making a film with a single shot, that too for two hours without a gap, is a big adventure. Hats off to the makers who came up with such an idea and to the heroine who accepted the story. Now. To make a film like this one needs courage as well as passion. But it is very difficult to make a movie like this convincing and engage the audience. 

Raju Dussani, the director of the 105 Minutes movie, should be congratulated in that regard. The hardships he went through are seen in this movie but it seems that it has not fully succeeded in making the audience connect. An unknown force captures the heroine Hansika and frightens her. 

It is not allowed to go out, it is not allowed to sit, it is not allowed to stand and it is not allowed to stay at home, in such situations, the film should be made engaging and the audience’s attention should not go away. If you watch the movie, you will understand that these makers have worked hard in that regard. 

But as the BGM was well worked out, it was used to some extent in sustaining the suspense and fear in the audience. Heroine Hansika keeps crying throughout the movie? It’s boring. Much time in the movie she is shown trying to get out, but it seems that they could not show how to face properly. But the finish is good. 

After all this, why is Hansika stuck in the house, what is the purpose of the power in the house? He did not say clearly what he wanted to say. It would have been better to give clarity and make a strong point in those matters, but that was missed.

Technical team, the camera work is the lifeblood of this film, and in that regard, Kishore B excelled as a cameraman. The whole movie takes place in a house. As it is a very high-risk experiment, there is no point in a single shot if there are other characters other than that character.

In the end, the 105-minute movie is a good effort amidst many challenges.
