Shakti Soundar Rajan, who has a penchant for unusual plots, has tried his hands at something different again with Teddy. Though the film’s first glimpse reminded movie buffs of the Ted franchise, Teddy is nowhere close to it. It begins with Sree (Sayyeshaa), who gets kidnapped by a ruthless medical mafia who is also into organ trafficking. As unbelievable as it may sound, in a peculiar situation, her soul enters into a teddy bear after she falls into coma due to drug intoxication. It befriends Siva (Arya), a person with OCD and a sharp skill for learning anything new, and seeks his help to find out if Sree is alive or not.
Making an engaging film with an unfamiliar and far-fetched storyline is a challenging task, and the makers succeed only in parts. The movie’s novel plot is its major positive apart from a committed performance from Arya, who effortlessly pulls off the role of a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder. The story commences as a whiff of fresh air compared to the regular commercial potboilers.
The amusing acts of the teddy bear and its chemistry with Arya entertains the viewers, despite leaving us a clue that the story will take a serious turn. Though Arya’s convincing characterisation as a jack of all trades comes handy in several sequences, the cinematic liberties go overboard in a few sequences in the latter half, especially when those episodes happen in a foreign country. The story also takes a lot of time to reveal the people behind the crime angle involved in it.
Yuva’s visuals and Imman’s music add to the overall appeal of the film. Sakthi Saravanan’s action sequences look interesting on screen, but the scenes leading to action could have been better. The VFX works behind Teddy’s character appear quite convincing in most of the scenes.
The characters, except for Arya’s, are underwritten. Sathish, as the hero’s aide, for the umpteenth time, does what he usually does in such roles. Karunakaran’s character as an employee in the Azerbaijan Embassy lacks conviction and Magizh Thirumeni’s antagonist role, as the brain behind organ trafficking, leaves little impact. The emotional scenes between Arya and Sayyeshaa work to an extent.
To sum it up, what should have been a roller-coaster-ride ends up as a partly engaging fare, thanks to a slew of incoherent sequences.
