Dhamaka

I have a great respect for actors like Ravi Teja, who have gained fame and proven themselves time and time again with their acting skills by producing blockbuster movies. However, his last few movies have not been as successful due to poor scripts. With the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2019 and the increased use of streaming services like Netflix and Prime, many people's views on movies have changed. We now need quality plots and strong logic in movies to bring us back to theaters.

As for the movie I watched, I loved the comedy aspects, especially the comedy between Hyper Aadi and Rao Ramesh, as well as a song.

I hope the cinema industry will come up with unique and new plots at an International level.

A helpful movie for doctors! If they need to inflict pain externally, make the patients see this movie!

Where do I start? Say the cons: 1. "6 days ladki in" concept to too stale; the new trend is "find a girl that needs help, for her to flirt with you and then save her" easy-peasy.

2. The hero gets hit on the back of the head and bleeds like crazy - no bandage, no recovery time, but still had a band-aid on the forehead for a minor scratch. WOW! (the bruises on the neck are still red like fresh ones - he is GOD) 3. This was like a "Jabardast Movie." No dialogue in the script, just punchlines. It's understandable if the hero had a few punchlines, but the entire script had "only punchlines with a salt of proper conversational dialogues" for the hero, heroine, mother, father, sister, villain, and dam, even the comedian (well, this one is an exception) roles!

4. Seroiasly an outdated pattern - hero entry, fight, song, heroine entry, song, fight, sing, a savior moment, song, fight, prefinal song, grand fight, epic "WOW" revealing twist (I mean, who didn't know the brother was the villain too - dint the extremely ungroomed beard pass the bad-vibe check ?) 5. OH MY GOD, I don't even want to talk about the poor acting of the heroine, but the worst part was an epically failed lip sync and annoying dubbing artist voice.

The only pro in this movie: is "open relationships" From when did people not know how progressive a Telugu movie could be - the heroine dates two guys at the same time, and her mom makes it sound "funny". WOW (she dint know that it was the same person until much later) Common people what next ENMs (Ethically non-monogamy(? I am impresses. Wink wink.

Mass maharaja come back movie after a few flops,his style,swag and dialect with mesmerising foot tap numbers carries the movie single handedly... With base plot having some substance in it,director does remaining part with a clear screenplay woven fine with twists and turns keeping audience hooked... Other lead actors did their portion well but it's Hyper aadhi who steals the show with his flawless dialogue and one-liners along with Rao Ramesh elevating the scenes to a new level of wholesome entertainment...A big round of applause for the duo keeping entertained well...what else a neat family entertainer after a row of offbeat cinemas to churn ur weekend entertainment.

Raviteja is synonym of energy in tollywood's dictionary. Directors design the character from start to end to keep upto that.

This Dhamaka is no exception. First half was kept intact with the parallel storylines. The heroine's character held the parallel paths together and added fine flavor to enhance the depth of the story. Second half opened upto the reveal of the twist and thus the scenes will lead us into a known path without any suspense pending. From then on Hero took the responsibility onto his shoulders till end. Although the loose ends wound up pretty quickly at the same time, the scenes didn't made us to stick to our seats. The role is nothing but a cake walk for Raviteja and heroine didn't disappoint too, within her limited scope of character. The supporting roles have done their part with nothing to point out.

Ravi Teja gets to play mass & class roles, the only he knows to enact. SreeLeela gets to showcase her dancing skills. Jayaram gets to play the dumb villain while Sachin Khedekar gets to play the rich helpless dad and Tanikella Bharani plays the same role he has been playing for decades. Then there is Rao Ramesh for the sake of forced comedy scenes because he is known to pull them off on his own. The makers know well that a plausible story is the last thing they want in their commercial potboiler. Just a couple of dance numbers, an half a dozen fight scenes are the other known main ingredients of this masala fare.

Needless to say there is nothing to talk about the story and the screenplay, irrespective of how illogical it is. Even if you don't nitpick on it, this rehashed AVPL, barely entertains. Every time a silly comedy scene carries the movie forward, comes an even sillier scene to elevate the hero. The twists make as much sense as the explanation for Ravi Teja's dual characters - Swami and Anand. With routine action blocks, Ravi Teja lives upto his title to give it his all for this role to entertain. But there is only so much of Ravi Teja madness one can tolerate in such mindless films.
