Pizza 3 Movie Review: Even the cheap thrills can't salvage this letdown installment

Pizza 3 poster.

Barring a handful of examples, film franchises as a concept haven't yet made great inroads in Tamil cinema. One of the successes in this world of franchises is the Pizza franchise that has been rolling out installments at a regular frequency. All three parts of the horror franchise have been helmed by debutants.

The first part (2012) saw the then debutant Karthik Subbaraj bring in a fresh voice of storytelling that used horror only as a plot device to delectably tuck in a neat little surprise in the final act. 11 years later, comes Pizza 3, again helmed by a debutant, only to prove that a legacy isn’t just enough. A well-fleshed-out and well-thought story that can actually give you chills running from its writing and not relying on mere sound effects is more important.

Gone are those days when jump scares, haunted mansions and dense white makeup were enough to give us cheap thrills. It was more important to deliver an actual tale of dread rather than resorting to just jump scares. Interestingly, the first two films of the Pizza franchise used a con angle to subvert the cliches of the genre. Unfortunately, Pizza 3: The Mummy, while trying to play up the horror emotion, fails to understand its study on the audience, who has seen enough of white make-up and mystery figures lurking around.

As typical of any horror film, Pizza 3 has two stories running, crossing paths at one given time. There is a restauranteur Nalan (Ashwin Kakamanu), whose personal problems become multifold when the paranormal gets involved. A sample of this would be a particular dessert that strangely keeps appearing in the kitchen. He also has a paranormal investigator girlfriend Kayal (Pavithra Marimuthu), who barely has anything to do in the story.

On the other hand, a series of murders that strangely gets connected to our hero. Amid all this, there is a 700-year-old cursed mummy doll. Like how we saw a sample of aghast in the opening credits in cult films like Ring or Urban Legend, Pizza 3 too has one. But it makes you so confused that you nearly forget to make any sense of it as the credits roll. In addition to this, Pizza 3 also tries to take itself too seriously that it misses having fun, which is something that Pizza immensely had. Under the guise of tugging your emotional strings, the film elaborates on a back story that might trigger your memories regarding one specific violence that took place in Chennai a few years. But its execution and usage as an induction to the horror do not work out naturally. In its ambitious idea to highlight the apathy of the violence, the film forgets to connect its dots. If the ghosts are as mighty to avenge the perpetrators, why is there an involvement of our protagonist, whose connection to their story hangs in there by a thread? But defying such logic, Pizza 3 tries to weave around a tale of convolution and hauntings that are of no use.

Pizza 3 might have some of its fear moments and there are plenty of jump scares, but its filmmaking is so archaic that it still needs scenes like TV shows debating the presence of ghosts, to make the audience feel they are watching a ghost story. Adding to the woes is the third act which fails miserably and is rushed to only complete the film. While Ashwin tries his best to save this sinking ship, it’s only in parts he is able to do so, as the story becomes a steady downward slope. With neither evident ambition nor exemplary craft, Pizza 3 becomes a letdown to the franchise.

The best in the franchise!

Pizza 3 (Tamil)

  • Cast: Ashwin Kakumanu, Pavitra Marimuthu, Gaurav, Kavitha Bharathi, Anupama Kumar, Abi Nakshatra, and Kaalli Venkat
  • Director: Mohan Govind
  • Producer: CV Kumar
  • Music: Arun Raj
  • Runtime: 2 hour 21 minutes
  • Cast: Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Emraan Hashmi, and Revathy
  • Director: Maneesh Sharma
  • Producer: Aditya Chopra
  • Music: Pritam Chakraborty
  • Runtime: 2 hours 35 minutes

Director Mohan Govind’s Pizza 3 , which is the third instalment of the popular franchise that came into being following the immense success of Karthik Subbaraj’s Pizza (2012), is a reasonably good horror thriller.

The plot of Pizza 3 has nothing to do with the earlier stories in the franchise. It is set in a restaurant.

The story begins with a father returning home with a small ancient Egyptian statue which could easily be mistaken for a doll.

Though he does not know its history, he desires to keep the antique piece safe.

Little does he know that the statue was created by an Egyptian princess several centuries ago to contain all the evil energies that were around her at a time when her kingdom was surrounded by enemy troops.

The powerful statue, we are told, has the power to invoke evil spirits around the place it is placed.

Soon after, the scene of action shifts to a newly started restaurant that is being run by an enterprising youngster called Nalan (Ashwin Kakumanu).

Nalan is in love with Kayal (Pavithra Marimuthu), an app creator. She is now looking to create an app through which one can communicate with evil spirits.

However, Kayal’s brother Prem, a police officer, is not impressed with Kayal’s interest in Nalan and is looking for an opportunity to get rid of Nalan.

It is under these circumstances that one day, a customer who visits Nalan’s restaurant brings a doll which he forgets to take back with him.

Soon after, strange things begin to happen at the restaurant. A sweet with a divine taste keeps appearing in the restaurant’s refrigerator and the hotel staff think it is Nalan who has come up with a new recipe.

Initially, Nalan is surprised but not worried. However, he starts observing some movement in the night.

He instals a video camera inside his hotel’s kitchen to investigate and finds out that there are evil spirits moving inside. What happens next is what Pizza 3 is all about.

Best among the three.

To Mohan Govind’s credit, Pizza 3 is easily the best of the three parts of the franchise.

The story takes its time to gain intensity, but when it does, it commands your undivided attention.

True, like in most other horror films in Tamil cinema, the spirits in Pizza 3, too, look for revenge. The reason why they seek revenge makes the film special.

The director took inspiration for this part of his story from recent crime incidents that shook the conscience of the State.

Performances

The film has neat performances coming in from all its cast.

Ashwin Kakumanu, who is a seriously underrated actor, does an excellent job of playing Nalan. He effortlessly slips into the character and makes you forget that you are watching a film.

Pavitra Marimuthu as Kayal delivers what is expected of her.

Gaurav, who delivered three fantastic films as a director, plays the role of a cop and an overprotective brother to perfection.

Kaali Venkat as Daamu, one of the chefs in the restaurant, Anupama Kumar as Rani and Abi Nakshatra as Mitra also come up with fine performances.

However, the best performance in this film comes from Kavitha Bharathi who plays the character of Viswanathan.

The veteran actor delivers more than what is expected of him. His fine performance adds credibility to the plot and gets you more involved in the story.

On the technical front, Arun Raj’s background score is apt and plays a significant role in intensifying the tension one feels in crucial sequences.

Cinematographer Prabhu Raghav’s visuals are easy on the eye, though some of the scenes require them to be shot in the dark.

Have no second thoughts about Pizza 3 . For, this is the best pizza you might have had until now.

Pizza 3 Movie Review: Even the cheap thrills can't salvage this letdown installment

Rating: ( 2 / 5).

Barring a handful of examples, film franchises as a concept haven't yet made great inroads in Tamil cinema. One of the successes in this world of franchises is the Pizza franchise that has been rolling out installments at a regular frequency. All three parts of the horror franchise have been helmed by debutants. The first part (2012) saw the then debutant Karthik Subbaraj bring in a fresh voice of storytelling that used horror only as a plot device to delectably tuck in a neat little surprise in the final act. 11 years later, comes Pizza 3 , again helmed by a debutant, only to prove that a legacy isn’t just enough. A well-fleshed-out and well-thought story that can actually give you chills running from its writing and not relying on mere sound effects is more important.

Gone are those days when jump scares, haunted mansions, and dense white makeup were enough to give us cheap thrills. It was more important to deliver an actual tale of dread rather than resorting to just jump scares. Interestingly, the first two films of the Pizza franchise used a con angle to subvert the cliches of the genre. Unfortunately, Pizza 3: The Mummy , while trying to play up the horror emotion, fails to understand its study on the audience, who has seen enough of white make-up and mystery figures lurking around.

As typical of any horror film, Pizza 3 has two stories running, crossing paths at one given time. There is a restauranteur Nalan (Ashwin Kakamanu), whose personal problems become multifold when the paranormal gets involved. A sample of this would be a particular dessert that strangely keeps appearing in the kitchen. He also has a paranormal investigator girlfriend Kayal (Pavithra Marimuthu), who barely has anything to do in the story.

On the other hand, a series of murders that strangely gets connected to our hero. Amid all this, there is a 700-year-old cursed mummy doll. Like how we saw a sample of aghast in the opening credits in cult films like Ring or Urban Legend, Pizza 3 too has one. But it makes you so confused that you nearly forget to make any sense of it as the credits roll. In addition to this, Pizza 3 also tries to take itself too seriously that it misses having fun, which is something that Pizza immensely had. Under the guise of tugging your emotional strings, the film elaborates on a back story that might trigger your memories regarding one specific violence that took place in Chennai a few years. But its execution and usage as an induction to the horror do not work out naturally. In its ambitious idea to highlight the apathy of the violence, the film forgets to connect its dots. If the ghosts are as mighty to avenge the perpetrators, why is there an involvement of our protagonist, whose connection to their story hangs in there by a thread? But defying such logic, Pizza 3 tries to weave around a tale of convolution and hauntings that are of no use.

Pizza 3 might have some of its fear moments and there are plenty of jump scares, but its filmmaking is so archaic that it still needs scenes like TV shows debating the presence of ghosts, to make the audience feel they are watching a ghost story. Adding to the woes is the third act which fails miserably and is rushed to only complete the film. While Ashwin tries his best to save this sinking ship, it’s only in parts he is able to do so, as the story becomes a steady downward slope. With neither evident ambition nor exemplary craft, Pizza 3 becomes a letdown to the franchise.

Pizza 3 movie review

By Chennaivision in Tamil Movie Review July 31, 2023

A father returns home with a small ancient Egyptian statue. Though he does not know its history, he desires to keep the antique piece safe.

Little does he know that the statue was created by an Egyptian princess several centuries ago to contain all the evil energies that were around her at a time when her kingdom was surrounded by enemy troops.

The powerful statue, we are told, has the power to invoke evil spirits around the place it is placed.

Soon after, the scene of action shifts to a newly started restaurant that is being run by an enterprising youngster called Nalan (Ashwin Kakumanu).

Nalan is in love with Kayal (Pavithra Marimuthu), an app creator. She is now looking to create an app through which one can communicate with evil spirits.

However, Kayal’s brother Prem, a police officer, is not impressed with Kayal’s interest in Nalan and is looking for an opportunity to get rid of Nalan.

It is under these circumstances that one day, a customer who visits Nalan’s restaurant brings a doll which he forgets to take back with him.

Soon after, strange things begin to happen at the restaurant. A sweet with a divine taste keeps appearing in the restaurant’s refrigerator and the hotel staff think it is Nalan who has come up with a new recipe.

Initially, Nalan is surprised but not worried. However, he starts observing some movement in the night.

He instals a video camera inside his hotel’s kitchen to investigate and finds out that there are evil spirits moving inside. What happens next is what the movie is all about.

Directed by Mohan Govind, the third installment of Pizza franchise follows the typical horror genre template.

Though, there is nothing new in the premise, it manages to keep the audience interested.

The director takes his own time to establish the story, but things get interesting as the movie proceeds.

Ashwin Kakumanu’s portrayal of his character is impressive and appreciable. He effortlessly slips into the character

Pavithrah Marimuthu has done her part well and makes her mark.

Rest of the cast including Kaali Venkat, Anupama Kumar, Abi Nakshatra and Gaurav Narayanan have all delivered what was expected from them.

The movie’s techincal aspects are appreciabel as well. Both Prabhu Raghav’s cinematography and Arun Raj’s background score compliments the movie well.

Rating: 3.2/5
