Star

About This Movie

So, 'Star' from 2001 is an interesting piece. It features Prashanth as Murthy, a guy who becomes the scapegoat for others, with the prison almost feeling like his second home. The story takes a twist when Dhanushkodi, played by Raghuvaran, is on a revenge mission against an ex-collector, and that tension drives the narrative. The pacing can feel a bit off at times, but it gives a unique flavor to the unfolding drama. The performances, especially from Raghuvaran, stand out, bringing a certain gravitas to the film. It’s these elements—along with the backdrop of Mauritius—that make it distinctively engaging, despite the unknown director and genres.

'Star' has seen limited format releases, making its physical copies somewhat elusive for collectors. The film's uniqueness lies in its narrative and character dynamics, appealing to niche collectors interested in lesser-known works. The scarcity of well-preserved editions adds to its allure, as does the curiosity around its cast performances and the underlying themes of sacrifice and revenge.
