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*
