TV
host
Omkar
is
turning
director
with
the
movie
Genius,
which
has
hit
the
screens
across
the
globe
today.
His
debut
directorial
venture
has
a
wonderful
story,
concept
and
good
production
elements,
but
he
seems
to
have
failed
to
present
it
properly
on
screen,
which
shows
that
he
is
yet
to
learn
a
lot
in
direction.
Genius
is
a
romantic-action
movie
and
Chinnikrishna's
good
story,
Paruchuri
Brothers'
dialogues,
Joshua
Sridhar's
music,
Diwakaran
Raghunathan's
camera
work
are
its
highlights.
But
poor
direction
and
sluggish
screenplay
with
lots
of
illogical
sequences
and
forcibly
placed
songs
mar
the
beauty
of
the
wonderful
subject.
Debut
director
Omkar
has
chosen
a
brilliant
subject
revolves
around
three
important
fields
like
cricket,
films
and
politics.
He
aims
to
highlight
too
many
things
on
screen,
which
results
in
use
of
too
many
illogical
sequences.
The
movie
seems
to
be
a
hurry-burry
work
and
it
clearly
shows
that
the
director
has
not
done
much
home
work
before
starting
this
project.
If
he
had
done
it,
it
could
have
been
a
brilliant
movie.
Three
friends
-
Nivas
(Havish),
Yaasir
and
Koti
are
big
fans
of
MLA
Nanaji
(Pradeep
Rawat),
cricket
player
Nizamuddin
(Adarsh)
and
film
star
Peddapuram
Peda
Babu
(Ashish
Vidyardhi),
respectively.
They
decide
to
take
revenge
upon
their
role
models,
when
the
later
betray
their
fans
for
their
selfish
reasons.
What
happens
next
will
form
the
rest
of
the
story.
Havish,
Pradeep
Rawat
and
Adarsh
have
delivered
good
performances
in
their
respective
roles.
But
it
is
Sarath
Kumar
and
Brahmanandam,
who
steal
the
show
with
their
brief
performances.
As
Havish's
love
interest,
Sanusha
also
looks
good.
Others
like
Ashish
Vidyardhi,
Anita
Hassanandani
and
Scarlett
Wislon
have
done
their
job
well.
But
the
director
seems
to
have
wasted
talented
actors
like
Nagababu,
Annapoorna
and
K
Vishwanadh.
Joshua
Sridhar's
music
is
the
main
attraction
in
the
technical
front.
But
the
movie
has
too
many
songs
and
their
place
is
also
not
good.
Diwakaran's
picturiation
is
commendable
and
MR
Varmaa's
editing
is
also
good,
but
little
more
trimming
work
from
him
could
have
made
the
film
look
more
beautiful.
Overall,
Genius
has
a
wonderful
concept,
but
the
director
has
failed
to
execute
it
on
the
screens.
