Cinematography: cinematography by thiru is top notch . his captures the dark light is terrific the way captures prabhudeva expressions is just priceless with good lightings and angles.
Analysis: a scene where prabhu deva chases two friends in the gang has been showcased on excellent note .Mercury is quite strong in the technical department. the technicians are the real heroes of the film. this film is not a silent film. the film falls under the horror genre. as said earlier.
the camerawork lifs the film in the 2nd half and makes you believe that your are in that place.the runtime of the film is quite less. there is no intresting scencs in the 1st half.this film is not for the regular audience
there is no songs, dialouges, and comedy. mercury is rehashed version of hollywood superhit film "Don"t breathe".
this film might not be liked by every section of audience. and have a limited appeal at the boxoffice. director takes a very long time to establish the story. and also bonding between the friends.
this film lacks tension buildup scencs it fails to excite and thrill the audience. to all the fans of Karthik subbaraju this will be a huge disappointment. his story his heavily inspired from few hollywood films.
overall mercury has superb performances and terrific cinematography making it a below average fare.
