Lucia - Real Stunner , First ever Mind bending movie in the History of 100 Years of Indian Cinema.

To the Viewers :-
============
# One of unique creations in Indian cinema never tried before . Am stunned . Who said we dont have talents who can make movies like Nolan or Lynch or that said any top overseas director. I feel its just the lack of Opportunity and support. This Movie Lucia is just one finest example proving that wrong...!! You dont need crores to bring a best movie , all it needs is your skills and passion towards it. !!! This movie will serve as a eye opener for many upcoming film makers and also for experienced film makers. First movie impressed me in kannada industry was Mungaru Male and now Lucia will be my favorite collection. Waiting for original DVD so i will buy that way i will contribute to these creators who did their dream project about the dreams.



" Your Small Life is Somebodys "BIG" dream "
Such a short and sweet statement yet carries so much meaning to it. Unless you see this movie you will not understand the power and impact this statement has. A Stunner.

Review :-
=======
Extraordinary performance by these young cast Sathish Neenasam ( Nikhil ) and Sruthi Hariharan ( Shwetha ). This movie is a pure example that in hands of a good director even a iron core can be casted to diamonds.Every heart always got some wishes it desires for but never received. What if a source presents itself with a promise to give you that and how easily one would be tempted to try it without even giving any second thougts about the consiquences forms core to this story. A man suffering from insomnia takes a magic drug pills called Lucia which has a power to induce sleep and at same time generate Lucid dreams , a term of never ending addictive dreams makes one feel close to reality. How this man Nikhil lives upto both these worlds fullfilling his desires in his dream world and at same time how it escalates to a stage where it almost costs his life completes this story behind Lucia.

You might ask , if this is the story then what is so special about lucia. Well, story might sound simple but how director toggles those frames from real world to the imaginary dream world and how he makes us to sit tight at the edge of the seat till movie finishes is what makes it so special about this movie. More over these kind of plot was never ever tried before in indian ciema before as there are so many movie buffs who love mind bending movies and for the same reason great director like Nolan or Lynch have so many followers. But making a movie is not important , but how well you wrap it and present it is all what matters and Director Pawan kumar proved himself he is no short of great directors here. Normally mind mending movie would sometime cause nausea because too much of consolidation or too much blending of characters would result to it , so one has to really be cautious that the mixup of multiple stories doesnt pollute the script. In this regards , lucia is a genuine attempt as it doesnt really confuse us too much though at some point or at most we really be not knowing what is real or dream anymore but by the time this movie finishes , it unties most of the knots and delivers the basic message what this movie intented to press on giving us a sigh of releif.

Though that said, last 10 minutes the whole plot conspires itself giving the choice to the viewers to guess themself what is real and what is not and chose their own ending for themself. No wonder this is a touch of Nolan and may be for same reason apart from the dreams subject , this film lucia been compared to Inception by many. But i will really be not the one who will compare these two movies on a same scale because they both are unique and best at their own levels. This film Lucia will be one of finest cinemas ever made.A salute to the team involved. I feel this is just the beginning.

Verdict :
=======
Lucia , an immortal movie going to live through time and space , a never ending dream of indian cinema and a kickstart into a different genre of films first ever brought into indian cinema. A crystal ball experiance , pure as a hallmark gold and a experiance of a life time. Watch it and enjoy it. A movie which never to be missed.

To the Oscars :-
===========
# Damn you Oscar , if you dont choose this as best foreign language film of this year , damn you will loose your respect & credibility from every Indian citizen who follows you. You wanted a good movie and we gave one. Dont turn your blind side against us. We proved. Its your turn to prove.
