We have seen similar stories in hundreds of movies, and one
thing which would still keep up your hopes is the name Puri
Jagannadh who can create wonders with a wafer thin story line.
It can be said that he is only half-successful in this
attempt. The first half is stuffed with all the masala that
would be required for a superhit movie. But in the second
half, he commits the same grave mistake he is known for.
Except the dailogues department and comedy track, the movies
lacks his trademark style and gripping storytelling
capabilities.
A flop movie like Andhrawala and a industry hit movie Pokiri,
these two movies have a strong hero characterisation. But in
this movie this is what that has been missing. First half
seems to be a result of more dedicated hard work for months on
Puri's part. But at the same time second half is such a
mediocre fare that you would wonder if it is wrapped up in
haste..

Chakri, I still wonder how this guy has survived this long in
the film industry. He has not cashed on with the oppurtunity
given to him. His tunes are average and the background score
is the worst in recent times after Sainikudu. Melody is nil
and beat is abundant in his songs. Everytime a song comes up
in second half one would curse Chakri.
Photography by Naidu has nothing to rave about except some
fight sequences where he used different styles of canning
fights.
Hansika is a beauty. She has everything that is needed in glam
doll. Ali lives upto expectations with his excellent comedy
track. Everytime he comes up on the screen you can do nothing
but laugh at his style of expressing his life story in cine
style. His police station fight ala chiru's KHAIDI, got the
maximum response.
Allu Arjun has developed great physique and he is as usual
exceptional at dances. His characterisation is nothing
different from his previous movies. He has surely got the
grace of Chiru and the speed of Hrithik in his dances. He is
with no doubt the best dancer in the present set of heroes. He
even worked hard for the stunts and fight sequences.
The movie had one of the best starts where a radio mirchi
interviewer, asks normal junta who their favourite hero is.
First half has got Puri's trademark dailogues and bunny dances
with Ali's comedy perfectly weaved. One would wait for Ali to
come onto the screen for his comedy. Interval bang is good.
The recharge scene between villian and hero is too good and
got huge response. Other highlights are the way Ali says
Gudumba Shankar and Giri Babu trying to learn Tamil. But
coming to second half, it is packed with 6 fights and 3 songs,
literally. Climax song with rambha has nothing to talk about.
Infact the impact was ruined by bad photography.
The movie ends on a good note with Ali imitating NTR this
time. To sum up, Puri has taken the movie up the ladder to a
greater height and dropped down at a much greater pace. The
ascent is FIRST HALF and the descent SECOND HALF.
VERDICT - AVERAGE |
