First ever 3D movie in Nepal- Vigilante got released from Friday and my first half of the saturday holiday went just for the movie.
Vigilante is a movie about lust, love, friendship,and betrayal where a road trip of 6 people(3 guys and 3 girls ) turns into a mishap as they have to live near the jungle due to some problem with one of the bike. Though there is no effort in bringing out the characters at first, the suspense thriller unfolds the nature of six characters along the movie : A broken heart- Niraj (played by Subash Thapa), a marijuana lover- Sujan (Gajadi) played by A Gurung, a cheap girl Seema (Shikha Shahi) in search of new bf, a serious girl Melina (played by Menuka Pradhan) who gets a picture of what happens with them in near future and a new generation couple (Ashish and Shisti played by Raj Ghimire and Priyanka Karki). As they are there to have fun, they do so by playing Kabbadi in the river bank, not so daring bottle spinning game, and some fun by Gajadi works. But when two of them, Seema and Gajadi Sujan goes missing in the night of their stay outside a home of a weirdo, the movie turns to an adventurous way.
Good effort from Stereographer- Purushottam Pradhan for bringing out the first ever 3D experience with a suspense thrilling plot and nice presentation from Director cum Producer Dipendra K Khanal (Director-Chapali Height). But a good plot and a nice adventure with 3D at a perfect location goes in vain due to unrealistic acting and loud dialogues from most of the actors.
Also the long running-away scene without the dialogues makes you impatient at times, which once almost made me walk out of the cinema hall,but stayed just for the full movie review. The movie succeeds to keep the mystery for whether its a horror or a thriller movie as the first scene shows a suicide of a man in groom attire.
Though they could have put some exceptional 3D scenes from such an exotic location, we should praise them for the first ever 3D experience that will obviously inspire others to bring in other technologies to Nepali movie industry but technology should always come together with good performance unless it's an animated one ( I don't know if Full animated feature length Nepali movie is in the coming??).
If 3D is only what you are looking from this movie, then go for it but I could not find the new dimension that I was looking for, so the movie is nothing but the 3D. BTW 3D cleavage may be worthy to some :P
