#MovieReview#TheOdyssey OVERYHPED
Rating: ⭐️⭐️1/2
The entire promotional and marketing campaign of the movie has been centred on the fact that it’s an IMAX cinematic marvel. Well yes, visually the film is really good but then there are number of #Hollywood films which have adapted this cinematic style and there isn’t any mindblowing invention per se. Of course, #ChristopherNolan bhakts will go gaga over the film, but then that’s expected out of them as well.
However if watched as a standalone movie, does it provide entertainment? Well, only sporadically. The film has really long drawn scenes and at places it even bores. Worse, in the first half there are sequences where you squirm and cringe, most notably the ones with the one eyed monster and the witch - you just can’t look at screen.
At places, you are even reminded of #Baahubali (more about that later), though in all fairness since Greek mythology is age old, perhaps #Rajamouli was inspired there. There is this whole swaymvar sequence too and that’s seeped into Indian mythology as well.
Technically, the film is expectedly quite good with cinematography, sound design and BGM (albeit a bit weird at a couple of places) functioning well. Still, it isn’t as if you are experiencing it for the first time ever. Performances are good, though to call any of these Oscar worthy would be saying too much.
Overall, the film can be watched in parts but is certainly not worth the hype.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Wednesday suspended the licence of Mumbai’s iconic Parsi Dairy Farm at Marine Lines after an inspection allegedly found hygiene violations.
Established in 1916, Parsi Dairy Farm is the latest among the city’s heritage food establishments to face regulatory action. The FDA had recently suspended the licences of K. Rustom’s ice cream parlour, as well as the Shalimar and Noor Mohammadi restaurants, over hygiene-related violations.
