Ghost is an action-thriller that has been done at top gear making the viewers stay at their seats throughout. The twists and turns of deception, betrayal and secret agendas of the plot are intriguing and enticing in nature as a reflection of a concept of justice, loyalty and redemption. The movie moves very quickly and every turn and revelation is perfectly punctuated to build the tension of suspense, the adrenaline rush is further supported by dramatic scenes and brilliant plotting. A hostage crisis in a prison environment provides a particularly intriguing element of tension which plays a game of cat and mouse with the viewers being the stakeholders.
The plays are powerful particularly in the way they depict the intricate network of characters involved. The realistic nature of the ACP Chengappa character is the sense of determination and resourcefulness, and the villain in the story, the imposter Dalavayi, is enveloped by mystery and guile. The unmasking of the real identity of Anand Rao and his motives are an emotional twist to the story which turns what might have been a simple action movie into a film of personal revenge and moral righteousness. The movie direction is a masterpiece that manages to combine the extreme action with the scenes of self-reflection and makes the audience empathize with the characters and all of their hardships and victories.
The best part was that the film has a deeper meaning concerning justice and the truth. How Anand Rao and Rao bring the corrupt officials to light the name of an innocent man in order to cleanse his name was both gratifying and encouraging. The point in the movie where wit and sacrifice joined to make everything work out was also the time I felt hopeful and vindicated that what is good ultimately overpowers the evil. Altogether, the movie Ghost is a tense and well-crafted thriller, which incorporates good storytelling, strong acting, and heart-pounding action and creates a long-lasting impression of the feeling of suspense and moral triumph.
