Being an Allu Arjun fan, all his new films I wait with expectations, but in case of NPS, expectations were in another level, especially when I heard its a patriotic action film. Also by hearing its cast and crew. Directorial debut of Vakkantham Vamsi who was the writer of Temper, kick and race gurram, acclaimed cinematographer Rajeev Ravi, Bollywood musical duo Vishal-Shekhar etc. Action king Arjun plays Allu's dad and Sarath Kumar plays the villain. Does NPS meet the expectations?
Story:
Surya(Allu Arjun) is an army officer whose ambition is to serve in the border, but suffers from anger management issues. He gets rusticated from army when he shoots a terrorist in prison without any orders. But with the intervention of his godfather (Rao Ramesh) he is given one more chance with a condition that he must get a sign from renowned psychologist Dr. Ramakrishna Raju(Arjun) who is his estranged father. When surya meets him Ramakrishna gives him a task to control his anger for the next 21 days, then only he will get sign. Surya agrees but a local don Challa(Sarath Kumar) acts as a hindrance for surya to control his anger. Rest of the film is whether surya controls his anger, gets the sign and serve the border or not.
Plus:
1. Allu Arjun's performance: Bunny gives an extraordinary, fantastic and mindblowing performance as Surya. You get to see allu arjun as an actor and as a superstar in NPS.
2. Story: Unlike storyless Sarinodu and illogical DJ, NPS has a very good story. Vakkantham vamsi presented it in an honest way.
3. Action scenes: Fight scenes of NPS are awesome, especially the police station fight.
4. Songs: excellent album from Vishal-Shekhar.
5. Sainika song
6. First 30 minutes: Goosebumps guaranteed
7. Message: Film has multiple messages which is shown in an effective way
Minus:
Inserting commercial elements: In srimanthudu, koratala Siva successfully inserted commercial elements and made it a universal entertainer. But vakkantham vamsi failed to insert commercial elements properly in NPS.
Verdict:
NPS is a very honest film and best film of Allu Arjun came in recent times
