Mosagallu

Mosagallu (2021) : Brief Review -

A brilliant story of Digital Money Scam wasted by B Grade Storytelling. Mosagallu is prime story for any cinema industry across the world but unfortunately it was selected by Telugu Cinema for the sake of vandalism. That typical thinking of making a mainstream entertainer has spoiled a potential classy piece of narrative. You know these money scams stories are interesting, almost all kind of audience wants to watch them despite the fact that it is slightly offbeat and away from commercial entertainers. Such films usually fall in thriller genre, some of them even goes for a drama. But all of this never go for a commercial potboiler, they keep intense and stylish features alive. Mosagallu failed to understand this basic rule of filmmaking. It has those B grade scenes you see any typical South masala film, it has the same vision of the director and all the actors performed with the same unintentional nature. The film is about fraternal twins, Arjun and Anu, who have been raised by their honest Father in poverty. Their hunger to make huge money leads them to a wrong path and they build the biggest IT scam country has ever seen. Like i said before, it's a great story, i mean really good. I just feel sad that it wasn't used properly by the director. Jeffrey Gee Chin makes an average mass film which does not suit its classy script at all. His lame vision to look at things and to create those situation pulls a potential classic much much lower. Even lower than a decent level. Vishnu Manchu and Kajal Aggarwal looks good on screen but their performances doesn't look anywhere close to good. It's just like dragging typical masala elements into atypical storyline that causes the destruction of intelligent storytelling. Overall, a strictly average film and much much lower and poorer than its original potential.

RATING - 5/10*

It's definitely a good attempt by all. Casting was good and everyone performed well. Concept felt new. BGM was really great. I think it's an enjoyable movie and idea, it can get quite slow but still it's ok overall. Apparently English version is 55 minutes less, maybe that would've been better for the pacing and screenplay. Also Would also be better if they didn't have the vulgar scene in the middle...awkward to watch with family 😅. But I still think it's a good attempt by Vishnu. He tried something different and did a lot of work for it. Hopefully it pays off for everyone.

Very boring. Tries too hard to look like a hollywood movie but falls flat. Fails to keep you engaged throughout the movie. Just illogical. The absolute worst part about the movie are the dialogues. It almost felt like a Telugu dubbed movie. Had a lot of potential but poor execution.

No proper story, screen play. Waste of time. Don't know why this movie got some positive reviews.

The only thing that was tolerable in this movie was - Suniel Shetty. The rest was simply a garbage. What was Minchu-rian even thinking during the planning stage ? Any sane person who might have done serious research on scams will agree that execution of such fraudulent practices takes months, even years. But in this movie, the so called 'poor' Minchu-rian got deal from his creepy boss in a five star night club and voila !! Next day, they have an office with fat and bearded sidekicks. Each and every character is so full of freaking attitude. Creepy boss is verbally abusing Kajal and Minchu-ran, Kajal is abusing boss and his brother, that beardo is abusing pushing and yelling at staff !! What the hell was happening ?

What more can be ridiculous, the director made IRS look like a ordinary government office with atleast one stupid Indian talking in native language among Americans. Instead of investigating the complaints, the IRS is directly calling Sunil Shetty to find out the culprit whereas technically they should call Indian Embassy first.

Americans are well educated people . They know agencies like IRS, banks etc never call on phone and ask for details. Even in India, IT department and bank continuously warn us about such things. But these ass Minchu-rian without even learning these basics, started directly calling the customers and they actually believed on him.

PATHETIC !!
