Lucia is a story of all of us, who have a dream.. a dream to become successful, rich and happier. What if we get to live that dream? What if the dream starts appearing real and life starts getting surreal. Do we love our dream so much that we are ready to give up our real identity?

Talented director Pawan Kumar has beautifully conceptualized and narrated this film. A psychological thriller, which will keep you on the edge of your seat. Two parallel stories are narrated simultaneously and seamlessly intersect and finally converge with each other. Idea of monochrome scenes was very thoughtful to segregate the story well.

Strongest part of the film was absolutely mind-boggling story and a superb screenplay. One of the best I have seen so far. I am glad that lead role was given to Sathish Ninasam. He has done a fantastic job and has proven his mettle. An established actor might not had so much of realism and fresh appeal. Sruthi Hariharan also impresses with her cute looks and essaying role of a compassionate girl. Achyuth Kumar is a great actor and was bound to do exceptional job. Sanjay looks mystical in his offbeat appearance.

Music of the film was well appreciated, especially Jamma Jamma song. Somehow, I felt that ending was a bit filmy and could have done more artistically. But, overall a great film which you are definitely going to love it.

TRIVIA – Lucia in itself was a dream and a path breaking innovation in film making. It was crowd funded by 110 investors who contributed to the project through a Facebook page and a blog. Quite unique, isn’t it!

P.S. Movie is shown with English subtitles in theatres and you’ll love it even if you don’t understand the language.
