Temper

Temper: Sooraj Pattazhy's Review

Since Nenokkadine, only one telugu movie made me stick to ma seat during its climax. That is Temper. Yes, trendsetter Puri Jagannath is back with the 'actor' in Jr.NTR.

|Plot Sub Inspector Daya is a corrupt, brutal and cunning police officer,who is ready to go to any extent for making money. But he is stuck in a gruesome tragedy which opens a new beginning. The plot may seem usual one, but what Puri has is the store is a stunner.

|Making Trendsetter is what industry calls Puri Jagannath and Temper justifies it. He not only sets the trend in showing a Telugu hero in a never seen image, but also by offering a sentimental foundation for the script.

Vakkatnam Vamsi's story of a corrupt cop transforming is well scripted by the director. The way the movie travels and the unexpected surprises it opens to, really impresses the viewer.

The movie is free from unwanted action, bouncing of Hench men and mainly form crap comedies. Still, Temper has the traditional elements of a Telugu entertainer, which pulls it from being a classic.

Those small yet unwanted comedies of Ali, Saptagiri and idiotic behaviour of Kajal and Kovai Sarala could've been avoided or taken care of. The songs which come in between creates a great disturbance in the continuity ,even though they are beautifully made.

The stunning factor of the movie is its climax. Those penultimate moments of the movie was a scream. Those dialogues and performance of NTR stunned me. I didn't expect such surprises in the movie. Kudos to Puri for making Temper more of a sentimental-socially relevant drama than a time pass entertainer. Had he took care in the first half, Temper would have been a classic.

Dialogues were of top class,especially the ones between Posani and NTR about corruption. The ones in court scene too sparks thrill.

The movie also raises questions regarding the loops in our law which offers freedom for any criminal to commit crime. The movie also draws light on the corrupt system and problems faced by women. Kudos to Puri Jagannath for including this factor.

| Performances Jr NTR proves that the actor in him is still alive. One of the best performances in the recent times and the best form him. Hope he does non-stereo characters of these kind, rather than those in the masala entertainers. His dance moves were amazing as usual.

The next notable performance is from Posani. Never expected this form him. Prakash Raj rocks as usual while Tanikella Bharani touches our heart with his short role. Madhurima too exposed good acting skills,whereas Kajal revealed more skin. Kajal was just meant for that and for dancing in songs which come in equal intervals. The roles of Ali and Saptagari were purely unnecessary. There is even no trace of them after a few scenes.

| Technical Side Made in a ₹40cr+ budget,the movie was rich and had great visuals. Cinematography by Satyam K Naidu had novel frames, especially at those action sequences. The director's expertise in presenting mass scenes with greater elevation was visible on screen.

Songs by Anoop Rubens were good and foot tapping, especially Temper and item songs. BGM by Mani Sharma was good at parts. Had a great mass appeal at certain sequences, while the ones at certain moments seemed familiar.

Editing was good. Especially, those non-abusive cuts of torture. Action sequences were clean without more-than-a-human touch. That last fight scene was superb.

If we ignore those cliché elements in the first half, Temper is a stunning entertainer,which tops high due to brilliant performance by NTR and Puri's unconventional approach.

My Rating: 7.5/10 This Temperature won't be temporary...!

Sandhya 35MM at RTC X Roads had a fully packed house with heavy returns for the morning show on 14/2/2015. Thank You,

Temper is one of the movies I have personally waited for ! NTR...who is desperately looking for a HIT, has now hit the bull's eye ! What a Characterization ! Thanks to Puri too....for designing it SO well ! Though NTR's body language sometimes reminds us of RGV, he simply rocked with his screen presence ! Story is decent though it has a very little similarities to the recent release 'Patas'....Puri, who first time took another guy's story has done his best in execution ! Just a few exceptions there ! Screenplay is mind blowing and keeps us glued to the seats ! Movie is top to bottom powerful ! Dialogues are damn good...especially in court episode (though reminds us of Rakhi) and Beach conversation ! Posani is a perfect go as a honest police officer ! Kajal is decent with her role...but her chemistry with NTR is limited....especially in second half ! Prakash Raj, Subbaraju and others have done justice to their roles ! However, few of the roles have an open ending ! And speaking about NTR's performance....a complete new look which will simply tear the silver screen apart ! This is the right time for celebration Fans.....get ready ! What a role Man...awesome it is ! Though he shows his six pack for a couple of seconds, it will surely grab few whistles out there ! First half is decent with it's narration...and with few good comedy episodes and item numbers ! Intermission Bang is good.....And the main highlight is the second half ! Highly emotional Dandayatra starts from here ! Last 30 minutes are rocking....and the end note by Puri is also great and patriotic ! There is a small cameo surprise by Puri too ! Comedy strength could have been better....the reason for this is that everything here is situational comedy instead putting off comedians illogically ! So, speaking of other things, Cinematography, Editing and Art work are simply amazing ! TEMPER is technically rich looking film ! Direction is good.....and Puri gives something opposite to Andhrawala in terms of Commercial Collections ! Production Values look rich ! Anup did a decent job....but Mani Sharma gave a fantastic BGM ! FANTASTICCCCCC....especially during opening titles !!! Lyrics are either completely meaningless or meaningful.....but what covers it is NTR's peppy steps ! A very few scenes might not go well with sensitive audience.....just remind yourself it's a Puri film ! On the whole, TEMPER is the right movie NTR fans will be looking for...As they said in the audio launch, don't forget to wear a shirt with a collar to flip after watching the film ! Also, for regular audience, TEMPER is a good commercial movie with fantastic blood boiling emotional sequences ! Just go for it with a grab of popcorn and you will come out satisfied ! NTR's DANDAYATRA started.....why late??? Just join the change !!!

Jr. NTR, the man who drives the whole movie with his terrific performance. Puri Jagannath is back with his stylish direction with much good plot and screenplay. The movie revolves around an egoistic young police officer who is corrupted and will commit anything for money and he realizes that the time has come to change his character and brings down the bad men to justice. We can see Jr. NTR in a different role which delivers an awesome performance as a negative shaded police officer deserves a big round of applause. I liked the dialogue delivery, action ( realistic action - dint find much masala in that, i would say, better than any Telugu flicks), songs were fine, Background score was pretty much good (Mani Sharma did a fantastic job for the movie). All the other main stream actors including Prakash Raj, Madhurima, Posani Krishna Murali did justice to their job. Kajal Agarwal was a mere waste in the movie .. just coming in to the screen for some romantic scenes and for songs. She looked terrible. Climax was really awesome, But the scenes in the police station (pre climax) was a let down and felt bored when he beats up the henchmen and the police yelling like POLICE was boring to an extent. I would say must watch movie, (if you are looking for a Telugu flick with Stuff and Performances). My Rating: 7.9 on 10

Temper is thoroughly entertaining from start to the end. Its not just a regular popcorn entertainer, its a bold move. Temper deals with a very sensitive and controversial topic that is trending today.

I went into the movie expecting it to be another formulaic Puri Jagannadh Cop story, but boy it blew my mind. The way every character binds with the story is fantastic.

There is no question in saying that Tarak is arguably the best actor in Telugu film Industry and now I have whole new respect for him. In a career spanning full of stereotypical roles, this one took serious balls to do. The way he transformed from a corrupt cop to standing for a cause was very convincingly done. He killed every single second he was on the screen and specially the entire sequence in the police station gave me electrifying goosebumps.

Puri Jagannadh is known for his brutal honesty and a little sarcasm when it comes to sexism, I was a little surprised that he didn't feature any of that in this film and The surprise element he introduced during the climax of the film was amazing. I didn't see that coming.

I generally do not care about the songs in a movie, but i kinda liked a couple of songs in this movie. my personal favorite is the title track. Tarak nailed it

The Characters were great, performances were awesome, story was bold, screenplay was gripping and Direction was near perfect.

Overall i would say Temper is one of the best Telugu films of this decade. 9/10. re watch guaranteed.

GOOD:- First of all, NTR-JR is seen in a new avatar. That is something refreshing in the movie. Movie is good throughout and entertains the people well. Biggest advantage being the director's trademark dialogs which are even electrifying when delivered by the protagonist. First half is okay with healthy comedy and second half is the show stopper with excellent climax scene which makes you re-believe in the potential of the Kingpin and the protagonist. Major asset in the movie is the BGM by Manisharma and the transcendent dance moves by NTR-JR.

BAD:- As my title suggests, it is a feast for fans. It might not be very pleasing for family audience as the confabulations were bit vulgar and has lots of vagueness. Romance didn't work out that well between the protagonists and that was a poor plot. Couldn't use the full potential of the comedians Ali and Ramesh, maybe the plot didn't support their appearance further. Could have used JP well and given justification for his role in the movie. One might wonder after some time, about the protagonist's new avatar as all the dialogs seems to be yelling rather than being delivered. One might think that the movie has some plots relating to Rakhi and Lakshminarasimha. (Latter might not be very descry)

Verdict:- Good movie with a new avatar. I personally enjoyed the movie and is definitely a one-time watch, period.
