This is released amidst all chaos of Andhra-Telangana issue. Audiences have come to watch the movie to take a break from political cacophony that has been shaking TV channels from many days. And much to the delight today is Christmas and the T-activists have called off bandh today on this occasion. Let us see how it faired.
Story:
Vamsi aka Pawan Kalyan (Vaibhav) comes to Hyderabad on a mission and he happens to meet Mahesh Babu (Brahmanandam) who is there with an operation against goondaism. Vamsi and Mahesh Babu develop tiffs with local goondas like Mallesh, Saleem and Allauddin.
But Vamsi has a flash back that gets revealed slowly. His love interest Krishna Veni (Sweta) works as Radio Jockey in Radio Mirchi and a series of incidents connect him to these goondas.
What are those incidents? What happens at last? That has to be watched on screen.
Performances:
Vaibhav is ok but still he lacks something. That is originality. Unknowingly he is getting into the influence of Prabhas, Pawan Kalyan and sometimes Chiranjeevi. He needs to improve his dialogue delivery for the kind of mass roles he is playing.
Sweta Basu is good. She became a visual treat for many and she is the only pulling factor to some extent.
Brahmanandam could bring some smiles in the role of Mahesh Babu but still there was lot to improve where director failed.
Others are ok in their shoes. Pradeep Rawat appeared in second half and portrayed villainy up to requirement. Jaya Prakash Reddy brought enough humor. MS Narayana is ok in guest appearance. Arundhati Aravind appeared in a single shot. Chalapathi Rao and others are ok.
Technically, the film failed in music. Except the last song ‘Ammayi peru Krishna veni…’ nothing enticed masses. Production values are good but narration part sounded obsolete.
Analysis:
It’s a film made with an intention to lure masses. Attempt is ok but the content is weak. The age old line is taken and not tried to present it fashionably. Care should have taken in the matter of songs at least. The effort to end the film as non stop entertainer like ‘Ready’ is observed, but things didn’t materialize. More homework would have saved the movie.
The concept with characters Mahesh Babu and Pawan Kalyan is interesting but not convincing enough to express with big laughs.
First half and second half go very predictable. There is nothing that keeps audiences glued to seats once suspense opens in interval.
On a whole, it is a normal treat.
Bottom Line: Don’t carry any expectations if you wish to watch
