‘Thira’ would be my first thriller film: Vineeth Sreenivasan

Actor Bala’s debut as a director does not seem to have gone down really well with the critics. They seem to be quite unimpressed by what they got to see on the screen.

Nowrunning feels that the monotony of the film kills: “In a film like ‘Hitlist’, when you look at it, nothing in particular goes wrong. Every bullet is fired right, every blow delivered in time. The action is all in place as well. It’s the monotony that kills. The almost unbelievable recreation of sequences that we have seen in innumerable action flicks of yore is what ruins the spirit beyond repair in ‘Hitlist’.”

India Glitz feels the trailer was more impressive than the film: “Actor Bala, when he was   debuting as a director with the Hitlist, had shot the trailers of the movie in such a fine perfection that everyone smelled something fine and different in it. But going by the film, it remains that Bala must have now realized that  creating a impressive trailer is not that difficult when compared to making a film , safe  and consistent.”

Sify thinks the film is forgettable: “Hit List is a rather forgettable attempt from Bala and even as a mindless action thriller, the film is a let down. Watch this one at your own risk!”
