Debutant director Venkatesh Panchanga has not understood first of all what madness is. The complete madness is a stage where the affected is kept in surveillance. When he titles the film as `Huchchi' he should have thought again. The protagonist in the film is not suffering from complete madness. She is suffering from either acute psychosis or delusion in persecution or schizophrenia is what attributed in the film.
But the character of Preethi (Pooja Gandhi) suffers from hallucination and that evokes fear in her mind. She is not harmful but has a target to finish off the troubleshooter to her family. As Preethi is assigned the job of looking after the child Chinnu (Baby Soundaraya) from morning to evening in a huge bungalow the fear in her mind that a person is inside the house and he is likely to kill the child puts her in chaotic mood. The child in the bungalow is also dumbstruck with her caretaker Preethi and her continuous appeal goes in vain.
The house is locked from inside and Preethi is not ready to open the door. At this stage the parents of Chinnu who are doctors seek the assistance of a leading psychiatrist. From the mobile phone the doctor contact terrified Preethi and slowly supports her cause to finish off the criminal inside the house. The support that Preethi gets after continuous persuasion makes her to pick a tool to kill the criminal that is actually according to her mind reading. The child Chinnu during this process of Preethi putting down criminal opens the main door. Preethi tired of beating in the air falls sick. She is taken for treatment.
This is actually fit for the television serial and watching the film in Kailash mini theatre in fact gave the similar feeling.
Pooja Gandhi the `Mungaru Male' heroine is not convincing. There is not much to perform for her. In the film she sits in a corner shivering. In an unwanted seducing scene Pooja Gandhi lights a cigarette for the first time on screen. She had dubbed for her portion for the first time rather carelessly. Baby Soundarya is cute and chatter box in the film. Ananthnag, Sudharani, Dharma, Mandip Roy are accurate in their roles.
There is no song and dance. Cinematography is very weak. And so is the film.
Scoring 4/10
