Character Highlights: Strong Performance By Varun Tej
Varun Tej Is An Absolute Delight Too, Particularly In The Second Half Where He Transforms Into A Menacing Gangster. Vasu Is The Lead, And Across Those Many Years, He Brings An Incredible Depth To Vasu, Losing His Way As A Refugee With Nothing But Hope And Then Becoming A Crime Boss Of Heavy Caliber. And Even Though The Script Confines Him To a Certain Degree, His Every Blazing Moment Spark Up The Scene Makes Him A Very Much Realistic Character.
Supporting Characters And Their Roles
Meenakshi Chaudhary Shines Bright In A Small Role. Strong Performance With Naveen Chandra As An Integral Character Whose Potential Is Not Fully Explored Nora Fatehi Also Shines, Infusing Her Character With An Edge And A Glamour That Suit The Period Of Depiction. Ajay Bhupathi Delivers A Decent Job And One Can Remember The Scene In Which Varun Tej Takes Extreme Decision To Save His Matka Business – Take A Look. But The Supporting Cast In General Feels A Bit Wasted
Pros: Production Value And Authentic Period Setting
A Matka Review: Production Design Hali—matka’s Most Ironclad Component Filming In Chicago, Faking The Era Has Helped Transport Viewers Into This World Through Meticulous Period Detail. Kudos To The Art Department For Their Efforts In Crafting An Authentic Atmosphere To Help Elevate The Visuals Of The Film. The Cinematography By A. Kishor Kumar Adds To The Grit In Suiting The Period Setting With Finesse
Technical Elements And Direction
Matka — Director Karuna Kumar, A Filmmaker With A Good Track Of Earlier Work Filled With Drama — Brings In Loads Of Potential. But His Story Seems Imbalanced, The First Half Moves At A Snail’s Pace, And Is Uninteresting. Tighten It Up — The Editing Could Certainly Have Been Tighter, Especially At The Beginning, To Keep Viewers Engaged. Music By G.v. Prakash Kumar Is Integral To Setting The Tone Of The Film But Does Not Work Much With Songs Or Background Score To Impress, Dialogues (as Expected) Are Effective And Some Scenes Hit Hard Because Of Them.
Supporting Characters And Their Purpose
In A Small Role, Meenakshi Chaudhary Is Bright. Naga Shaurya Is Physically Unrecognizable But Does A Strong, Unforced Job As The Integral Character Who Actually Has Potential But Whose Career & Upbringing Are Simply Not Diverse Enough For The Fewer Number Of Time Zones & Scenes Nora Fatehi Also Excels When You Rank High With Your Maturity Becoming Equipped With An Edge Like Skills And Cocktails Or At Least Maintains The Glamour Reminder Suited To That Period Ajay Bhupathi Does A Decent Job And The Scene Where Varun Tej Opts For Extreme Measures To Save His Matka Business – Take A Look. But The Supporting Cast As A Whole Feels Kind Of Wasted
Pros: Production Value And Authentic Period Setting
Matka Review: Hali Production Design — Matka’s Strongest Coping Mechanism And Fake All The World To Pretend Filming Chicago Has Aided With The Era, Its Thorough Period Design Drawing Viewers Into This World. Shout Out To The Art Department For Putting Together Such A Great Feeling Environment To Enhance The Imagery Of This Movie. However, Cinematography By A. Kishor Kumar Fine Tunes The Grit In Fitting Into The Period Base With Zeal
Cinematic Elements And Direction
Matka — This One Brings In A Lot Of Promise: Director Karuna Kumar Is Known For Good Earlier Work Heavy On Drama. Yet His Story Feels Lopsided, The First Half Drags Along At A Snaily Pace And Is Boring. Tighten It Up — At The Same Time, A Tighter Edit Would Have Made All Of This Much More Exciting, Particularly At First. Music (by G.v. Prakash Kumar) Plays A Vital Role In Setting The Mood Of The Film But is Not Much Impressive With Songs And Bg Eloquent, But, The Dialogues (as Expected) A Punch And It’s Few Scenes Hit Hard Thanks To Its Writing.
