Bell (2023 film)

Bell is a 2023 Indian Tamil-language romantic drama film directed by R. Vengat Bhuvan and starring Guru Somasundaram, Sridhar and Nitish Veera in the lead roles. It was released on 9 June 2023.

Production
Nitish Veera's death in April 2021 prompted the makers to rework the film's script, with Sridhar's character portraying another version of Veera's character.

Reception
The film was released on 9 June 2023 across Tamil Nadu. Reviewing the film, a critic from Times of India wrote "when makers forget to develop a one-line into a proper feature script, this is what the result will look like" and that "though the core idea is good, Bell suffers from amateurish filmmaking and lacklustre performances, ultimately resulting in a disappointing viewing experience". A reviewer from Cinema Express wrote "the film struggles to present a story that was mangled, to begin with" and "despite some sincere performances, the problems are further exacerbated by an unfocused creative vision".
