Pitha 23:23 Movie Review:-   Director Sukan's exceptional planning, creativity, and efficiency under tight constraints are evident in the enjoyable and unique film impressively shot in just 23 hours and 23 minutes, showcasing their talent and dedication to the craft.

 

The story is set during a vibrant night at a village temple festival. Amidst the bustling crowd, a young girl named Pithalakshmi is frantically searching for her missing brother. Concurrently, a rich man is kidnapped by a notorious gang that specializes in kidnapping, blackmailing, and extorting money from millionaires. The gang demands 25 crores from the rich man's wife, threatening severe consequences if their demands are not met.

 

As Pithalakshmi continues her desperate search, she inadvertently gets trapped by the same gang. The narrative follows her struggle to escape the clutches of the criminals while trying to locate her brother. The story is centered on whether Pithalakshmi will be able to escape and find her brother amidst the chaos.

 

Anu krishna, who plays Pithalakshmi, delivers an outstanding performance. She naturally expresses various emotions, from the anxiety of searching for her brother to the fear of being trapped in a dangerous environment. Her portrayal of Pithalakshmi's affection for her lover adds depth to her character, making her performance compelling and relatable.

 

Adesh Bala, portraying the main villain, is menacing as he orchestrates the kidnapping and extortion. Sams, appearing as a comedic villain, adds a layer of interest and variety to the antagonist roles. Darshit, playing the heroine's deaf and mute younger brother, delivers a notable performance, drawing attention with his portrayal. Rehana, playing the businessman's wife, amazes with her acting, especially when her character's true nature is revealed. Shivanji, as the businessman's car attendant, also performs admirably.

 

Supporting performances by Sriram Chandrasekhar as Pithalakshmi's lover, Arul Mani as the businessman, and Maurice Raja as the villain's assistant contribute to the film's overall appeal. The music, composed by Naresh, enhances the action and thriller elements of the film. Ilayaraja's cinematography vividly captures the festival crowd, night roads, and the villain's house, while strong editing ties the narrative together. Director Sukan deserves praise for delivering an enjoyable and unique film, shot impressively in just 23 hours and 23 minutes.
