James Movie Review: In A Film That Gives Message Of Friendship, Puneeth Rajkumar Emerges As One Man Show
James, the final feature film by Puneeth Rajkumar has been released today (March 17). Fans have been visiting the theatres with an emotional heart as this happens to be the Power Star’s big release on the silver screen after his untimely demise. And we are happy to report that they haven’t been let down by the writer and director Chethan Kumar.
James narrates the story of a guy who is on a mission to destroy gangsters who have been spreading terror with their corporate-style international drug mafia. In between, the commercial film presents a few twists but the key highlight that makes this movie a special one is Puneet Rajkumar.
Santosh (Puneeth Rajkumar), a powerful man in a security agency named J Wings, is hired to provide security to an international drug mafia gangster. Even though his job was to provide security, how the lead protagonist manages to secure the law and destroys the drug mafia forms the crux of this stylish thriller.
Appu
is
a
one-man
show
in
the
movie.
The
superstar’s
entry
will
make
fans
flock
to
the
theatres.
Santosh
(Puneeth
Rajkumar)
is
unstoppable
no
matter
how
many
villains
come
in
his
way,
he
manages
to
destroy
them
with
utmost
ease
and
swagger.
However,
to
know
the
reason
why
the
hero
starts
a
security
agency
and
provides
protection
to
the
drug
mafia
gangsters,
you
need
to
watch
the
movie.
There
are
also
some
twists
in
the
movie,
including
a
flashback
of
the
security
agency
and
there
is
a
message
of
friendship
as
well.
The
film
also
offers
lavish
sets
and
an
army
of
corporate-style
dressed
villains.
Puneeth
Rajkumar
has
appeared
in
two
different
shades
in
the
movie.
On
one
side,
he
is
seen
laughing
and
dancing
and
on
another
side,
his
action
scenes
leave
a
lasting
mark.
The first half is filled with high-octane action sequences. When the flashback opens in the second half, the story goes awry. This second half segment is presented to answer the twist that comes in at the interval. It is only after the interval that the real message of the story is portrayed. There is a love angle in James, but it is not given much attention by the makers. As a result, lead actress Priya Anand doesn’t have much to offer to the narrative of the film.
There is also Sadhu Kokila in a comedy role along with Chinnanna, Shine Shetty and Tilak playing Puneeth's friends. The film has Rangayana Raghu, Suchindra Prasad and Anu Prabhakar in key supporting roles. Srikanth, Sharath Kumar, Aditya Menon and others play the villains and their huge number also gets confusing. Meanwhile, Shivaraj Kumar and Raghavendra Rajkumar make a special appearance in James.
The film’s music has been scored by Charan Raj and it is great. The camera work is also amazing. The profundity of the film is a sight to behold. Overall, James is a movie that will not disappoint fans of Appu.
