Naga Shaurya has been looking to come out of the lover boy image. He is coming up with an action thriller genre movie to try his luck with a tough look. The complete U/A certificate thriller hits screens today. Let us have a look at the review and see if he succeeded to change his image as an action hero.

Story About..

Gana (Naga Shaurya) comes from USA for his sister’s engagement learns that she is pregnant. However how she got pregnant is the mystery that Gana wants to chase. The story takes twists and turns as Gana starts investigating who is the reason behind his sister’s abuse and many others. Gana finds a major clue when his girl friend’s friend gets abducted. The main antagonist and the reason behind the serial rapes gets reveled in the beginning of the later half of the movie, Dr Manoj Kumar (Jisshu Sengupta). The rest of the story is about how the doctor does the crime, reasons behind it and how Gana chases the mystery and takes his revenge.

On Screen Stars

Naga Shaurya made an honest attempt to portray him self as an action hero in this Thriller genre flick. At times his action may seem a bit rustic but overall he managed to excel in high octane action sequences and few emotional scenes. Mehreen plays girl friend role which is no different from any other movie. One would think that she has a huge opportunity to improve her acting skills. Jisshu Sengupta who appears in second half steals the show, makers kept him as a secret until the release. He portrayed the role of  psychotic Pathologist, his acting skills are commendable and overall a plus to the movie. The dubbing voice for Jisshu is apt.

Off Screen Talents

Ghibran’s bgm is good and a movie like this demands such score. The score that he gave for interval bang and the port sequence that comes in the second half is good. Sricharan Pakala music is average with 3 songs that one may feel unnecessary in the movie. Anal Arasu the stunt choreographers did a fabulous job, however such high octane action sequences does not fit in this mystery plot. Manojh Reddy did a decent job with his lens. Editor Garry’s work is good. The debutant director Ramana Teja did a decent job for a first time director, however he is not able to captivate the audience where screenplay plays big role in such genres. Action hero wannabe Naga Shaurya himself penned the story which is wafer thin.

What’s Hot

Naga Shaurya action episodes

Jisshu Sen Gupta’s action

Pre Interval and Post Interval 20 minutes

Pre climax and the climax episode

Crisp duration

What’s Not  

Songs

Heroine track

Scenes leading to action episodes

Verdict:

Naga Shaurya proves himself that he can handle action movies with Aswathama. An action thriller enthusiast might like the movie because of Naga Shaurya’s action episodes and Jushhu’s performance, but it might not to be the likes of a normal movie goer as it lacks emotional connect and basic entertainment elements.

Immediate reaction at Intermission: Nice Interval Bang. Looking forward for second half..

Immediate reaction at end credits: Better second half, First half could have been much better. Lacks something in this mystery drama.

Watch or Not?: Only for thriller genre lovers

Box Office Status:

No biggies after Sankranthi season might help with openings. It will not cater to the likes all sects of audience. Might be limited to multiplexes and A theaters given the genre.

Note: Our Boxoffice prediction is not just based on our rating, but also on various factors like release season, hero stardom and craze of the movie.

                                 Telugubulletin.com Rating: 2.5/5
