Loot Full Movie Download Filmywap

[Othon Sdcd]

DirectorVK Prakash's Erida is stylized to appear like a chic thriller. Male characters wear expensive suits, hang out in upscale gambling dens and pepper conversations with awkward English phrases while a remix of Beethoven's fifth symphony backgrounds their poker games. And the only female character, Anu (Samyuktha Menon) stays in a posh and well-appointed bungalow throughout the film. But beneath a sophisticated surface, Erida is a familiar tale of revenge narrated without any suspense: Anu, still in her twenties, is married to Shankar Ganesh (Nassar) who keeps her practically imprisoned in a lonely bungalow; he's over sixty and insecure about her. So, if Anu is to really free herself from Shankar, she not only needs to loot the safe in their home, she also needs him dead. Several 'twists' are added to this familiar thriller trope, but every twist in Erida is less convincing than the last. They're so obvious that the twists spoil the film's viewing far more than disclosing them in a review could.

While a bit of backstory does indeed make Anu's motivation for murder clearer, this information isn't presented organically. It's the kind of twist that's unsatisfying because a fact (Shankar is a bad guy) was hidden from us, simply to be revealed at a more convenient point with no intelligent surprise.

We get an even weaker twist when Anu meets Mahi Varma (Kishore), a police officer who knocks on her door when she's alone. Though he comes looking for Shankar, he ends up spending the evening with her. We get some exposition through Mahi's dialogues about how cops are frustrated in their jobs and why you can't really blame them for acting violently sometimes. Briefly, you're led to believe that this is an unhinged cop who might attack Anu. But this half-twist is abandoned for a new one.

We watch Erida passively waiting for the next big reveal, knowing that it can be nothing more than a mildly interesting plot variation built up to look like a serious twist. At the end, Anu gives a literal exposition about the film's title: Erida is the name of the Greek Goddess of Strife, and just like that goddess, Anu too must keep on going. But this explanation for the title is only as convincing as the twists in Erida.
