Analysis
Shikaru starts on a good note but forgets its direction in the latter part. The story is forgotten and boring commercial aspects take center stage. This is where the film could have been saved by able direction from Hari. He adds elements that will click with the college-going kids and also shows them in a decent manner.
But still, he manages to direct the film well when it comes to comedy. In this aspect, he entertains the audience. The situations and comedy created surely click with the youngsters.
The camerawork and songs are good but the editing was pathetic. Shikaru is clearly aimed at the masses and youth and satisfies its target audience. But there is nothing special in terms of story or anything emotion-wise. It is like a time pass masala film.
Bottom Line – Just for Gags
