Of course I had never heard about this 2024 Indian movie titled "Boat" prior to stumbling upon it by random chance here in 2024. However, I opted to watch it on account of it being a movie that I hadn't already seen, but I virtually didn't know what I was in for here.
Writer and director Chimbudeven delivered a movie that utterly failed to entertain me. I have to say that watching seven people sitting in a boat far out at sea, talking and doing very little else, didn't really count as being entertaining in my book. Needless to say that I was bored senseless with the script that Chimbudeven delivered, and I just couldn't make it through 126 minutes of this ordeal.
I managed to suffer through 35 minutes of the ordeal before I tossed the towel in the ring and gave up. The movie was nothing but dialogue between the seven characters sitting in a boat, and it wasn't even remotely interesting dialogue, much less particularly detailed or interesting characters.
Given my limited exposure to Indian cinema, then I wasn't familiar with the cast of actors and actresses on the cast list. But I can't claim that I was impressed with the performances, because the actors and actresses virtually had nothing to work with.
This movie was a massive swing and a miss of a borefest of a movie. And it is not a movie that I will ever return to and attempt to finish watching. I just simply didn't care one bit about the characters or the storyline.
My rating of "Boat" lands on a one out of ten stars.
