Watched '180' today@INOX
The Ads of 180 had created the necessary hype for the movie. Which inturn created more interest and dragged me to watch this movie on 1st day. Though I had no much expectations unlike others, I loved the cinematography of the movie when seen some frames in the Ads and decided to watch this movie.
Coming to the movie, the movie takes off with Siddarth coming to Hyderabad and staying in a rented house. The story runs around him and to find out his mysterious who? Nitya is a photo journalist who gets interested in Siddarth who helps people in his neighbourhood. Well the remaining part has to be watched on the screen though : ) .
180 is about disease and sacrifice and life and the way u live it. It can be called a Romantic Drama and is seriously a flick for exclusive Multiplex audience. The narration of the movie is too slow which might test ur patience at times.

Well, straight to the point...I felt that the movie is Average. The Concept is novel, but the Director couldn’t make the impact of the novelty in his narration coz of its slow paced narration. Director is to be accoladed for his masterpiece locales and camera framing, which is a like a knife on a cake from this Ad Film maker who is in the industry for 15 strong years.
Punch line: 180 = 6 months; Life and its consequences.

Highlights:
- Production values of Sathyam Theatres, SPI Cinemas & Aghal Films.
- Cinematography of Balasubramaniem.
- I just loved the song picturisation of “Ee Vayasika Raadhu” “AJ” “Nee Maatalo” & “Padha Padhamandhi”
- My ‘Priya Anand’ :P, Juz Rocked her performance and blew the frames where ever she is present. She is such a lovely damsel. Looks very beautiful especially in the blue dress gifted by A.J for her Birthday. I just loved that costume.
- Best use of RED Camera
- 180, is the best Visual grandeur movie which I have watched in recent times after Magadheera.
- Songs and Background Music by Sharreth (for people who doesn't know him, he is the music director of Kalavaramaye Madilo *ing Colors Swathi) are of Top notch quality.
- Sound Design by Tapas Nayak also needs a mention.
- Colorist ‘Kevin Shaw’ just treats your eyes with his color grading.
* I’m inspired by this song “Padha Padhamandhi” doesn’t know why. May be coz of its wonderful emotional and motivating composition.
Lowlights:
- Confusing narration in the last half-hour of the movie.
- Very Slow paced narration which tests the patience of the audience at times.
- Less humor quotient, though it doesn’t matter for such storyline.
- Narration and screenplay of the entire movie.
- Nithya Menon’s makeup needs more concentration.
- Did I miss the traditional song “Radhe Radhe” in this movie ?
Well coming to the rating, it is 3/5 (This is my personal opinion on this particular movie - U watch the movie and decide for yourself).
