Review
Story
ACP Shyamsunder (Shyam) is a
tough and honest cop who gets
into a tussle with the local don
(Rahul Dev).
The don threatens Shyam’s family
and the police department
arranges for the family ’s security.
In comes Veera (Ravi Teja) as the
protector and he mixes with the
family but Shyam ’s wife (Sridevi)
doesn’t like him.
Meanwhile, there is Aikey
(Taapsee) who falls for Veera and
tries to woo him with Tiger
(Brahmi) trying to cause trouble.
The story takes a turn when
Shyam discovers that Veera is not
the real security officer. Who is
Veera? Why does he come to
help Shyam and his family? What
happens to Aikey ’s love story? All
this forms the rest of the story.
Artists Performance:
Ravi Teja has given an energetic
and intense performance. He has
done justice in all scenes and
infused life into his character.
Kajal Agarwal looks alright. Unlike
her previous films which give her
a sensuous and classy look, she
looks rather rustic in this one.
She has increased the glamour
dose.
Taapsee is a visual feast as usual
and scores with her oomph
factor. She must try and control
her face expressions as she ends
up overdoing at times.
Shyam looks handsome and
though his role is limited, he
made his presence felt. He fits the
bill like a cop and his body
language is assertive.
Sridevi looks naturally sweet but
she was unable to give contained
expressions during emotional
scenes, it looked superficial.
Pradeep Rawath was loud, Divya
Vani was irritating, Brahmi ’s
comedy was childish, Venu
Madhav was okay, Roja came and
went, Nasser was natural. The
others did their bit as required.
Highlights:
Cinematography
Glamour quotient of Kajal,
Taapsee
Chitti Chitti song choreography
Chinnari Chinni Navvu, a bit song
Drawbacks:
Outdated storyline
Heavy overdose of weak
sentiment
Crass comedy
Pale Dialogues
Spineless narrative
Dragged second half
Final Analysis:
A film has to make people
hysterical with the narration- be
it comedy or tragedy or action.
Only then the audiences connect
to film forgetting the
surroundings. When the
audiences start looking into each
others ’ faces to share pain with
dullness, that itself proves to be a
debacle.
There is always a fine line
between coming up with a good
script and getting it the right
way on the screen. As such, the
theme of the film was appealing
but the director failed to get it
onscreen in a convincing
manner. While the emotional
situations lacked strength, the
serious scenes reminded of few
other movies.
Technically and production wise,
the standard is not compromised
but content and the way it was
executed plays the spoilsport.
Though the pace was
maintained, there was not
enough grip on the script to get
the audience into the film.
Calling husband with the word
‘ penimiti’ sounds odd and
disgusting with its old flavor.
Paruchuri Brothers lost power in
their pen for sure. Ravi Teja
appears weak with his pale love
track with Kajal. On the other
hand he comes as a elderly
village men and fights with
antagonists. The main crux of the
movie should be dealt in second
half but the director over loaded
the theme with number of
emotions and characters. Hence
he failed to make it gripping. The
scenes those were kept as
suspense weren ’t revealed
interestingly and the suspense
hold itself is not gripping. The
comedy scenes between Ravi
Teja and Brahmanandam also fail
to bring adequate laughs.
Nothing is gripping in this movie
except the 5 minutes before
interval. And again the bumpy
journey starts till the end.
Overall, this is a film which gives
a stale taste of boredom even to
the masses. At the box office,
chances of success are highly
unlikely.
