Review of 96

96 (II) (2018)
9/10
The South Indian ''In The Mood For Love''.
10 October 2018
Hats Of to The Director The Cast and The Crew for bringing us such a beautiful and elegant movie!

The Movie oscillates between the 90's and the 21st era. It combines the innocence of the school love and the much more practical life and relation of the middle age people. The cast was brilliant. I really think that there is no other actor or actress who could've done any better. Heart Touching performances by both the leads, they make you laugh out loud, they make you cry, they make you smile, they make you feel the pain that they felt and its soo biting. I saw this film in the big screen with my friends and at the interval time i said to my friend that this film reminded me of Richard Linklater films "the Before Trilogy" (its personal: spending one night together, the treatment all together). but when the film ended my interpretation was no where near what was going on. The film has moved from a ordinary innocent love to a more platonic level. This film gripped me similar to Kar-Wai-Wong's Classic ''In The Mood for Love'', both the films featured this amazing and addictive BGM and portrayed platonic love. Lust was no where to be seen in this film.

Personally i don't watch much Tamil films but i had planned to watch 96 after watching the cult film "Vikram Vedha'. I was glancing at the screen with my mouth open, i could't catch some of the dialouge but why think of it when the film is all about the experience.

Its all about nostalgia, how this 2 and a half hours can take you back to your school days and your first love and for every person who have't had the chance for first love in your schools days, well tough luck, welcome to the tribe. For me this film has became one of the most romantic Indian films.
