Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film got a great opening and earned 150 Crores on Day 1 in all languages despite poor reviews.
- Alternate versionsThe film received a U/A certificate after four cuts suggested by the CBFC. While three of the cuts suggested were violent in nature, the fourth one was about inserting a CGI mark on the screen for the Shark visual. Following the CBFC's directions, the visuals of a man kicking his wife, a man's body hanging on a sword, and a son kicking his mother were slightly altered, without compromising on the desired impact of the respective shots.
Featured review
Right, so the plot's got a couple of clever bits, but then it throws in a few daft moments as well. The screenplay's not much to shout about either - some scenes are decently done, but a fair few are completely unconvincing, and the rest? Well, they're just plain dull.
NTR, bless 'im, pulls out his usual stellar performance, but let's be honest, he doesn't quite look the part this time around. Saif, playing the baddie, gives it a good go, Prakash Raj did fine as always. Now Janvi? She's about as natural as a plastic plant - in her looks and her acting.
The rest of the cast, fair play, they gave it their best shot. But the cinematography? It's bang average, nothing that really pops or feels authentic. The sets and props? Just as dodgy - it all feels a bit fake, to be honest. And don't even get me started on the VFX and CGI - absolute rubbish. Costumes and makeup are especially naff, especially on Janvi, who looks like she's just stepped out of a shop window.
The music's decent, though, I'll give them that. But the action scenes? Overly violent and just plain daft at times.
If you're a die-hard NTR fan, you might find something to enjoy in this less-than-mediocre flick, but for everyone else? Probably best to give it a miss.
