Director
Puri
Jagannath
has
become
an
all-time
favourite
for
everyone
with
Pokiri
of
Maheshbabu
rewriting
the
Box
Office
records
of
75-year-old
Telugu
film
industry.
Chiranjeevi
had
assigned
the
job
of
introducing
his
son
to
the
Telugu
film
industry
to
Puri
Jagannath
and
Vyjayanti
Movies,
the
banner
which
is
almost
like
a
home
production
after
Gita
Arts
of
Allu
Aravind
for
Mega
Star's
family
took
the
responsibility
to
introduce
him
to
the
Telugu
film
industry.
Aswanidutt
really
spent
money
like
water
for
the
film
as
a
major
part
of
the
film
was
shot
in
Bangkok.
Director
Puri
Jagannath
chose
a
different
route
to
introduce
Ram
Charan
as
hero.
In
fact,
the
current
generation
youth
don't
know
the
kind
of
fights
with
which
Chiranjeevi
has
become
popular,
with
karate
stills
and
kung-fu
fights.
It
would
definitely
appear
novel
for
the
youth
and
of
course,
for
those
who
had
already
tasted
Chiranjeevi
films,
they
are
well-known.
At
the
same
time,
Puri
took
precautions
in
choreographing
the
songs
in
a
most
modern
way.
Charan
(Ram
Charan)
is
the
son
of
an
auto
driver,
who
gets
killed
by
Mattanna
(Asish
Vidyarthi)
for
getting
him
arrested
by
police
in
a
murder
case.
Charan's
mother
also
gets
stabbed
in
the
incident.
In
order
to
save
his
mother's
life,
Charan
agrees
to
go
to
jail
for
a
murder
which
he
did
not
do.
However,
after
his
return,
Charan
comes
to
know
that
his
mother
died.
Meanwhile,
Charan
comes
across
Sanjana
(Neha
Sharma),
the
daughter
of
a
millionaire
Kartikeya
(Prakashraj).
Later,
Charan
gets
a
job
in
Bangkok
as
a
travel
guide.
Accidentally,
Sanjana
visits
Bangkok
to
spend
vacation
with
her
friends.
In
Bangkok,
Charan
finds
that
Sanjana
is
quite
headstrong
and
always
tries
to
behave
like
a
rich
girl
and
never
treats
others
as
fellow
human
beings.
In
Bangkok,
there
is
a
bad
guy
called
Bittu,
who
tries
to
tease
Sanjana
and
Charan
teaches
him
a
lesson.
When
all
the
other
girls
were
away
and
Sanjana
and
Charan
were
alone,
Bittu
attacks
them.
In
a
bid
to
escape
from
his
clutches,
Sanjana
and
Charan
gets
caught
in
an
island.
There
both
of
them
understand
each
other
well
and
Sanjana
realises
her
folly
and
falls
in
love
with
Charan.
There
Charan
reveals
that
he
came
to
Bangkok
not
exclusively
for
a
job
but
in
search
of
Mattanna,
who
killed
his
father
in
a
bid
to
take
revenge.
Learning
that
Sanjana
was
missing,
Kartikeya
reaches
Bangkok
and
launches
a
search
and
finds
her
only
to
learn
that
she
was
in
love
with
Charan.
In
a
bid
to
get
back
his
daughter,
Kartikeya
tells
him
that
he
would
get
back
his
mother
if
he
is
ready
to
leave
his
daughter.
Charan
who
loves
his
mother
most
agrees
to
the
proposal.
At
the
time
of
exchange,
Mattanna's
men
attack
them
and
injure
Kartikeya
and
kidnap
Sanjana.
In
a
fit
of
emotion,
Kartikeya
tells
Charan
to
go
and
save
his
wife.
Incidentally,
Bittu
is
none
other
than
the
son
of
Mattanna
and
Charan
takes
his
revenge
and
kills
both
of
them.
The
story
ends
on
a
happy
note.
PLUS:
Ram
Charan,
though
a
debutant
put
up
an
excellent
performance
and
those
who
watch
his
performance
can't
expect
that
this
is
his
first
film.
He
showed
very
good
ease
in
dances
and
fights.
Especially
his
movements
in
dance
sequences
were
very
fast
and
it
would
not
be
exaggerating
that
the
choreographers
failed
to
compose
dance
movements
which
are
critical
as
he
shook
his
legs
with
extreme
ease.
Next
comes,
the
performance
of
Prakashraj.
As
usual,
he
dominated
all
the
other
artistes.
Though
his
character
appears
negative
in
the
beginning,
it
takes
a
good
twist
as
a
character
artiste
and
as
a
loving
father.
Neha
Sharma
filled
the
glamour
slot
well
and
the
dialogue
modulation
was
a
little
different.
The
audiences
who
were
hitherto
got
bored
with
the
voice
of
Sunita,
had
a
different
voice,
with
a
different
Telugu
in
an
American
slang.
The
choreography
of
dances,
action
scenes
were
superb
and
it
appeared
everyone
worked
very
hard
to
please
not
just
Ram
Charan
but
Chiranjeevi
and
the
Mega
Star,
Power
Star
and
Stylish
Star
fans.
Shyam
K
Naidu
gave
the
best
in
capturing
the
beautiful
locations
of
Bangkok
city
and
also
the
vast
sand
stretches
and
beach
of
Bangkok.
Music
by
Manisharma
is
another
highlight
of
the
movie.
MINUS:
Though
the
film
has
all
the
qualities
that
could
attract
the
youth,
mass
audiences
in
general
and
the
fans
in
particular,
the
kind
of
feel
that
Puri's
films
will
have
is
missing.
Especially
the
love
thread
is
not
of
Puri's
genre.
The
scenes
in
which
the
hero
and
heroine
get
stuck
in
an
isolated
island
would
have
been
cut
to
a
major
extent
and
made
it
crisper.
Audiences
could
also
find
some
difference
in
the
Puri's
style
of
screenplay.
The
relation
between
Asish
Vidyarthi
and
his
son
Bittu
in
Bangkok
was
also
not
properly
established.
Venumadhav's
role
was
made
drastically
limited.
REMARKS:
Ali's
character
in
a
'Mada' kind
of
role
is
unwarranted.
The
comedy
track
with
Brahmanandam,
Dharmavarapu,
MS
Narayana
and
others
is
just
okay.
As
a
whole
the
first
of
the
film
is
quite
youthful,
while
the
second
half
is
full
of
revenge
drama.
The
climax
fight
is
worth
watching
and
reminds
of
old
Chiranjeevi
films.
