Mystery draws everyone's attention. Rajesh is on an endeavour to pull everyone's concentration and glue them to the seats of a mystery where a gang of five die mysteriously. But here's the actual picture.
A gang of five, set out on a tour to Ooty. By some mystery, they put to a game of death, one by one, under mysterious conditions. The game starts a few days earlier, when a playboy hunter Johnny, who craves sadism, gets transformed suddenly at the sight of Deepa and falls sincerely in love with her. Unfortunately, he is marooned to the fact that Deepa is in the town for her marriage. He happens to witness the marriage first hand and is heartbroken at the sight. After a few moments of melancholy, Johnny prepares to avenge the group of friends and Deepa' s husband, who all he considers his enemies. Thus, Johnny kidnaps the four friends and puts them to life threatening situations, cornering the newlyweds, giving them only an hour's time to save those four. Who succeeds in this mission is the rest of the story.
Story is well conceived, but screenplay fails miserably. All the mystery is unveiled already, leaving too little room for the second half. Besides, the movie is slow and quite a drag. The entire cast is already familiar with screen, most with small screen, yet acting is amateur in most part of the film. Not only the flow of story, but also the dialogues are predictable.
Music would have soothed, if only it weren't tuned this loud. Some trivially small matters are magnified as big concerns, like the hero Mahesh's presence (or the lack) of mind over making a phone call from a public booth. Camera and locations are a relief, but graphics take a hitting too. In all, 'Sutrula' is a poorly translated concept.
Rating: 1/5 - For the story, which could have entertained better
