Synopsis

D Block

The film takes place at an isolated Engineering college in the middle of the Coimbatore forest. The hostels for students are nearby, and the women's hostel, D Block, is in the middle of the forest. Swathi, a first-year class leader, sees something disturbing and informs her friends. Believing she imagined it, her friends attempt to pacify her. However when she later visits the hostel terrace, she is dragged away by an unknown figure and found dead in the morning. The administration covers up the cause of her death as a tiger attack, and the principal bribes the police. Meanwhile, Maya, a senior student, meets with Arul and his friends and shows them a drawing of her friend Poornima. Poornima's picture was drawn four years ago, but it exactly matches Swathi's drawing. Maya suggests that someone is behind the deaths, but Arul and his friends refuse to accept it. One night, Arul and his friends sneak into D Block to meet Arul's girlfriend, Shruti, on her birthday. They see a terrifying figure on the roof of D Block and become scared. When they attempt to inform the college administration, the principal and warden refuse to believe them. Arul, his friends, and Maya decide to investigate the mystery themselves. They discover that eight other female students have died in the same way as Swathi. One of the dead girls was the daughter of a security guard who had formerly worked at the university. Arul and his friend go to see the guard and find the girl alive but mentally ill.

Cinema Express Vignesh Madhu

If you're patient enough to sit through the initial portions, D Block has solid stuff in it to keep you invested till the end. In the climax, we see the girls joining forces to overpower the invincible. Though it's well-intended, the execution is shoddy with a hilarious background score as if to motivate the women. This all-crucial ending should have been handled with more finesse. Despite all that, D Block has a lot of scenes worth remembering. The terrific interval block where the hero and the villain come face to face for the first time is a fine example. Then there's a riveting scene in the Principal's room. Arul and his friend sneak into the room in search of some old records when the college owner walks in.
