Well, the news however, is that he isn't really
alone, and has a beautiful ghost for company.
She comes visiting at nights, and he starts by
telling her his story. It's not much of a story
really, except that he was married once to a
woman, whom he was late to discover as the
perfect woman ever. She develops some
unpronounceable sickness and in no time,
takes the bus skyward.
That isn't much of a sob story when you get to
hear the tale that the ghost (Aswathy) tells him.
She was actually an orphan who fell in love
with another orphan (Vineeth), who in turn,
used to look after several orphaned senior
citizens. It was all nice, until he moved abroad,
and she got killed. That's what the suspense is
all about, and I better not get into the gory
details.
Phew! So that's what 'Cleopatra' is all about,
and after many discussions, he starts writing
her story. The villain does walk in too, and
gets bumped off in no time. It's all pretty
abrupt, and you are definitely glad when it's all
over.
To say that the writing is bad would be an
understatement. And the making does no
justice to the writing, and together it's a
mishamash of a movie that is a royal pain. The
redeeming factors, are non-existent, and I
couldn't find a reason why I should
recommend this for a viewing.
This is the kind of a film that drives you into a
passive mood, and before long, you have
resigned yourself to your fate. You grow non-
expectant, murmur a bit to yourself and then
fall silent, aghast at the way things are moving
forward. It all culminates in pure dejection.
The film does have seasoned actors like Vineeth
and Manoj K Jayan, but this is no 'Sargam',
believe me. Aswathy is quite good in the role
that she has been provided with, but there is
little that any of these actors can do to salvage
the film.
Technically there is nothing much to crow
about either. These are times when you are fast
getting used to stunning frames on screen, and
when you see something mediocre, it has
something of a shock value, which 'Cleopatra'
offers in plenty. The same applies to the song
sequences and choreography as well.
'Cleopatra' is a dull affair that gives even the
queen of Egypt a bad name. Whichever way you
look at it, it's a dud that delivers very little on
screen.
