TNN, Sep 9, 2024, 10.18 AM ISTCritic's Rating: 3.0/5Plot: A Day in Dollarspete is based on a real-life incident that took place in Tamil Nadu. The story unfolds on what seems to be an ordinary business day at a bank, with employees engrossed in their work. However, by the end of the day, chaos ensues when the staff discovers that Rs 50 lakh has mysteriously gone missing. The bank workers are thrown into confusion, with suspicion falling on multiple individuals. Among them is an employee who has a desperate need for money as well as a connection to some of the bank’s customers, creating tension and suspicion over who could be behind the theft. This sets the stage for the unfolding mystery.
Review: Debutant director Mohan Munirayappa chooses a thriller subject with a simple yet intriguing plot that gains momentum, particularly in the second half. He manages to weave together both realistic and imaginary characters, a creative decision that works to an extent but ultimately falls short of elevating the film into a truly gripping thriller. While the second half of the movie is more engaging, the overall film lacks that edge-of-the-seat tension that could have made it truly memorable.
Pruthvi Ambaar delivers a solid performance, though his character's impact diminishes as the plot becomes more predictable. Actors Sowmya, Kushal, and Akarsh, however, leave a positive impression with their portrayals of well-written characters.
Final Verdict: A Day in Dollarspete is an interesting film with an intriguing premise and commendable performances, though it misses the mark of being a gripping thriller. It’s a decent watch, but not one that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
