Lokesh Kanagaraj, who has built a formidable reputation as a filmmaker in the Tamil film business, has also stated that he will establish a production house to produce films with the team that has aided him in the director department on all of his films. Lokesh Kanagaraj is currently a producer, having made the film “Fight Club.” Now, the film is going to hit the OTT space.
Fight Club OTT Release Date
Fight Club is set to premiere on Hotstar on 27 January 2024.
Selva speaks to you a lot through voiceovers, mostly about his family, mentor Benjamin, and life after him. You get the essence, but the tactic of telling us things rather than allowing us to witness the events for ourselves distances us from the film’s environment. This has an impact on Fight Club’s storytelling because, even when someone close to him is harmed, you simply see the problem and never feel the depth of the emotion.
We don’t see them playing much football or boxing, which are said to be lifelines for many in the neighborhood. The picture leaves little room for a sense of belonging, which could have aided the script. Even when it tries to set it in North Madras, the film falls back on tropes that associate the neighborhood with football, drugs, and a lot of violence.
When and Where to Watch Fight Club
You can watch this actioner on Hotstar on 27 January 2024.
This leaves much to be desired, as Fight Club is a fantastic character study of what vengeance can do to a person. Even the revenge game’s setup is brilliant. We already have an enemy, Kiruba (Shankar Thas), a politician and drug dealer who murdered Benjamin. But we also have Benjamin’s brother, who is a little more malicious. When Selva and his gang enter the scene, they realize there is more to this revenge plot than meets the eye.
Fight Club Movie Story
When the first scene of Fight Club takes place, a gang of men who are armed and wearing masks enter a college to attack a few students. By frantically jumping between a variety of individuals and locations, the filmmaker, Abbas A. Rahmath, who is making his debut, makes us anticipate this clash. The rhythm of the film is similar to that of a ticking clock. But right at the moment that someone is about to be slashed with a knife, he turns to a different scenario, to events that took place in the past!
Cast and crew of Fight Club
The lead of “Fight Club” is Vijay Kumar, with Kaarthekeyen Santhanam, Shankar Thas, Arsha, Saravan Vel, and Monisha Mohan Menon all playing important roles.
Abbas A. Rahmath wrote and directed “Fight Club.”. Aditya produced this film under the Reel Good Films label, in collaboration with Lokesh Kanagaraj’s G Squad banner. Govind Vasantha created the music for this film, while Leon Britto handled the cinematography.
The actor Vijay Kumar has moments that are worthy of the larger stars in the Kollywood industry, and he can own these scenes with a superb screen presence by himself. In the middle of all the heroic deeds, the actor endows his character with a certain degree of vulnerability through the most insignificant of expressions. When the movie starts to become predictable, the performances of many actors—particularly Avinash Raghudevan, Kaarthekeyen Santhanam, Shankar Thas, and Saravana Vel—keep it from sinking.
Leon Britto serves as the cinematographer, and he adds some lyricism to this gritty revenge story. It is only during battle sequences that Britto and editor P Kripakaran’s coordination becomes even more impressive. Because of the slow camera movements and the rapid cuts, the suspense is built up, and you are forced to hold your breath to find out what happens next.
As a result of the numerous substances that the characters in Britto use, the frames of the show are occasionally hazy. A great deal of atmospheric tension is added to the battles by Govind Vasantha’s music, which occasionally allows for diegetic rap and the sounds of driving buses to be implemented to enhance a particular moment.
