Naveen
Chandra,
who
turned
actor
with
SS
Rajamouli's
maiden
production
Andhala
Rakshasi,
is
back
with
his
second
movie
Dalam,
which
hit
the
marque
on
August
15.
The
actor
is
at
his
best
again
and
sure
to
rock
the
film
goers
with
his
electrifying
performance
in
his
latest
outing.
Dalam
is
an
action
thriller
with
a
good
entertainment
quotient.
Naveen
and
Kishore's
performances
are
big
attractions
in
the
film.
Jeevan
Reddy
script
and
dialogues,
Dhanraj
and
Krishnudu's
comedy,
beautiful
picturisation,
James
Vasantha's
background
score
and
some
emotional
moments
are
its
other
highlights.
The
slow-placed
narration
in
the
second
half
and
unconventional
climax
might
disappoint
the
film
goers.
James'
uninteresting
songs
are
big
drawbacks
of
the
film.
Besides
direction,
Jeevan
Reddy,
the
protege
of
Ram
Gopal
Varma,
has
penned
story,
screenplay
and
dialogues
for
Dalam.
He
succeeds
in
all
these
departments.
He
has
chosen
a
unique
story,
which
is
set
in
the
backdrop
of
naxal
fight.
He
has
brought
out
the
subject
neatly
on
screen.
If
he
had
done
a
bit
more
of
research
as
far
as
the
script
is
concerned,
the
film
could
have
been
the
finest
piece.
Dalam
has
a
very
entertaining
first
half,
which
keeps
you
glued
to
the
screen
with
its
fast-paced
narration,
a
few
good
dialogues,
some
funny
and
emotional
moments.
The
movie
falls
flat
in
the
second
half
due
to
dragging
narration.
The
climax
is
different
and
a
bit
unconventional,
but
it
is
not
known
how
the
Telugu
audience
will
receive
it.
Continue
to
read
the
story
and
Dalam
movie
review
in
the
slideshow.
Dalam
Story
Abhi
(Naveen
Chandra)
and
Sathru
(Kishore)
are
members
of
naxalites
group
Dalam
consisting
20
naxals.
Realising
their
futile
battle,
they
surrender
to
the
police
and
the
jailer
recruits
them
for
special
operations,
which
lands
them
in
consequences.
What
are
those
consequences?
Will
they
save
themselves
from
it?
The
answers
to
these
questions
will
form
the
crux
of
the
story.
Naveen
Chandra
And
Kishore's
Performances
Naveen
Chandra
and
Kishore
have
played
naxals
and
both
are
perfect
fit
for
their
respective
roles.
Their
performances
are
very
energetic
and
electrifying
in
the
film.
Their
serious
looks
will
sure
to
leave
you
spellbound.
The
chemistry
between
the
two
is
very
good
to
watch
on
screen.
Pia
Bajpayee's
Role
In
Dalam
Actress
Pia
Bajpayee,
who
appears
as
Naveen's
love
interest,
has
a
small
screen
presence,
yet
it
is
very
crucial
to
the
film.
She
has
tried
her
best
to
do
justice
to
her
role.
She
will
impress
you
with
her
glamour
in
a
song
sequence.
Supporting
Artistes
In
Dalam
As
AK
47
and
Bhadram,
Dhanraj
and
Krishnudu
try
their
best
to
tickle
your
funny
bones.
As
encounter
specialist
and
jailer,
Abhimanyu
Singh
and
Harshavardhan
impress
you
with
their
good
performances.
Nassar,
Saikumar
and
others
have
also
done
justice
to
their
roles.
Production
Values
In
Dalam
Cinematography
is
the
main
attraction
in
the
technical
front.
James
Vasantha's
background
score
is
a
big
asset,
but
his
songs
are
a
big
let
down
in
the
film.
Other
departments
like
script,
dialogues,
art
direction,
costumes,
makeup
have
also
done
commendable
job.
Editing
is
good
in
the
first
half,
but
it
should
have
been
better
in
the
first
half.
Dalam
Verdict
Overall,
Dalam
is
good
action
entertainer,
which
will
impress
the
mass
audience
with
its
comedy
and
romance.
Don't
miss
to
watch
it
this
weekend.
