A lot of lady film makers have carved their niche in their debut outing. Sindhu Gowda, daughter of well-known director Raj Kishore joins the bandwagon with her debut film ‘Apple Cut’.
‘Apple Cut’ is a psychological thriller which revolves around a series of murders. The deaths that happen from lipstick is a matter of great headache for the police department. The research wing finds the clue in the form of a poison laced lipstick. What makes apple seeds as lethal as cyanide? What causes a chain of alarming events to result in a complex situation? The questions are answered in a breathtaking second half.
In order to capture the audience’s attention, Sindhu Gowda has put in significant effort and delivered a thrilling second half. The first half is quite normal and offers nothing much apart from few murders The fresh storyline warranted a stronger first half, yet Sindhu has dedicated all her energy to the latter part. The second half delivers excitement throughout. Sindhu Gowda astonishes and surprises viewers, keeping them on the edge of their seats.
Surya Gowda’s debut is promising and has good potential in the film industry. Bala Rajawadi’s role as a cop lacks depth and could have benefitted from a stronger performance. The portrayal of the police department in this film is quite weak. At times, the background score is engaging and the cinematography effectively supports the film ‘Apple Cut’.
