The lead actors did a decent job in their performance oriented roles. The director’s basic idea should be appreciated as the film has an emotional drama which is dealt nicely without any melodrama.
The climax portions where all the twists in the plotline are revealed has been executed in a decent manner.
Minus points:
After an interesting first fifteen minutes, the film falls flat unknowingly.
The scene order during this time lacks a gripping presentation. The second half screenplay has enough loopholes which would have prevented.
Technical aspects:
Music by Suresh is fantastic. He tried his level best to elevate the proceedings. The cinematography work is good as the entire film looks nicely with great frames used. The editing work is just okay as the film needs a serious trimming of a couple of unwanted portions. The production values for this limited budget movie are good.
Director did a good job. His on paper idea is good and raises curiosity. But would have worked even more on the screenplay for a better proceedings.
Verdict:
In an overview, Killer Artist is a passable action thriller. The film has an okay first half and a decent second half which can be given a try
during this weekend.
