“Itu0026#39;s very difficult to classify u0026quot;Cargou0026quot; as it does not fit into conventional mainstream cinema nor it is a parallel cinema. u0026quot;Cargou0026quot; is not an experimental film like u0026quot;Uglyu0026quot; either as similar ideas have surfaced abundantly in Hollywoodu0026#39;s B-graded low budgeted flicks since the 1980s. Only the novelty factor of mythology catching up with technology appeals in this somewhat dull film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe problem with u0026quot;Cargou0026quot; is that, the storyline u0026amp; screenplay would have been an awe factor, if the movie had been shot and presented to u0026quot;Doordarshanu0026quot; audiences way back in the 80s or 90s, But for 2019, where most of todayu0026#39;s tech savvy next generation, wouldnu0026#39;t even know how Yamaraj even works. It is a tall Order on the director Arathi Kadavu0026#39;s part to pitch this movie to the younger generation. As once the u0026quot;novelty in the conceptu0026quot; wears out in the first 40 minutes it becomes very monotonous and rudimentary.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe next problem would be its budget, if it was on the higher side, maybe some better production design and props would have definitely made the story a little more convincing, but the a terrible production design put u0026quot;cargou0026quot; completely down. Vikranth Massey u0026amp; Swetha Tripathi put up a brave show despite completely bad odds set against them, but couldnu0026#39;t save the day for u0026quot;Cargou0026quot;. It would have also helped if the movie was about 90 minutes or so but at 114 minutes, the movie will test your patience a little.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall the movie would definitely might work for senior citizens, and a smaller set of audiences. u0026quot;Cargou0026quot; presents a small novelty factor and some cool set of uniforms, apart from that I am afraid the viewer might stand dissatisfied. Watch it when you have nothing else to watch.”
