What's it about?

Indumathi revolves around a house. Swetha Bharadwaj and his lover steal huge money from their office and they flee to another safer place to hide. They land in a deserted like house which is owned by Harsha Vardhan. They take it on rent and move into the house. Soon her lover is found dead and Swetha is found absconding. Harsha Vardhan tries to hide the murder incident so that he could give his house on rent without much trouble. Few days later, a gang of friends step into it. Shivaji too joins them later and kills one person. Soon some more murders happen. Where did Swetha disappear? Who Shivaji really is? Why murders are taking place? These are revealed in the end.

Analysis

Director and producer Harsha Reddy makes debut with a thriller starring Shivaji. He takes inspiration from Alfred Hitchcock's classic Psycho (1960) for this flick. But the director has changed it and some more new elements. Although it is his debut movie, he dealt the thriller in satisfactory level. The director has concentrated more on entertainment aspect in the first half of the film and in the second half suspense elements begin to start. He has tried to balance entertainment and suspense. On the whole the movie provides some thrill moments and Swetha Bharadwaj's oomph factor is more attractive.

Performances

Hero Shivaji does justice to his role. Newcomer Swetha Bharadwaj does very sizzling act. Her skin show might attract the mass audiences. She has shown her assets in liberal dose. Others are just ok in their shoes. Technical wise, it scores. Camera work deserves first mention and back ground score is just ok. Director Harsha Reddy, for a debutant, passes the muster. But he should have taken care more on screenplay. Background score by Mantra Anand is impressive.

Bottom-line

Indumathi is on the lines of Psycho and it is for the audiences who love the thriller genre movies. The film provides suspense elements with some skin show by the lead heroine.
