Pooja
Gandhi's
Kannada
movie
Dandupalya,
which
is
about
an
infamous
crime
gang
that
spread
terror
in
and
around
Bangalore
in
late
90s,
was
released
a
few
months
ago
and
has
proved
to
be
a
big
commercial
success
at
the
Karnataka
Box
Office.
Now,
Director
Srinivasa
Raju
has
brought
the
Telugu
version
Dandupalyam,
which
will
surely
impress
Telugu
audience
too.
Dandupalyam
is
a
crime
thriller
and
Pooja
Gandhi's
daring
performance
is
the
main
attraction
in
the
movie.
Srinivasa
Raju's
screenplay
and
dialogues,
Arjun
Janya's
music
and
background
score,
Venkat
Prasad's
picturisation
are
its
other
highlights.
The
main
drawback
of
the
film
is
that
it
has
too
much
of
gory
and
melodramatic
elements.
The
movie,
which
does
not
have
hero
or
heroine
is
a
realistic
film
based
on
a
gang
of
11
members
from
Dandupalyam.
This
gang
members
are
antagonists
of
the
society
and
they
go
about
their
job
of
raping,
killing
and
looting.
They
are
not
bothered
to
cut
a
throat
of
a
person,
even
for
small
gains.
The
film
tries
to
showcase
the
barbarous
crimes
that
had
happened
in
1990s.
Their
method
of
operation
is
very
simple.
A
woman
from
the
gang
finds
a
right
house
for
the
robbery
where
lone
or
elderly
reside
and
visits
the
house
asking
for
water.
When
the
resident
goes
in
to
bring
the
same,
the
gang
members
enter
the
house.
They
attack,
gang
rape
and
murder
them
and
rob
money
and
valuables.
A
pregnant
woman
(Nisha
Kothari)
along
with
her
mother-in-law
is
murdered
brutally.
This
incident
is
followed
by
killing
of
another
family
consisting
a
mother
and
her
two
children.
The
Police
department
wakes
up
and
PSI
Chalapathi
(Ravishankar)
takes
up
the
challenge
to
crack
the
crime
acts.
Will
he
be
successful
in
catching
them?
If
Yes,
how
he
does?
What
will
happen
later?
Answers
to
all
these
question
should
be
seen
on
screen.

Review
Srinivasa
Raju
has
penned
a
real
story
based
on
the
reports
published
by
crime
tabloids.
The
violence
is
glorified,
which
is
acceptable
as
it
is
based
on
real
life
incidents,
but
a
movie
should
have
something
more
than
the
bloody
acts.

It
is
Pooja
Gandhi,
who
steals
the
show
with
her
dare-bare
act.
The
way
she
smokes
beedis,
sits
and
mouths
the
dialogues
are
amazing.
Her
entire
body
language
is
excellent
and
her
costume
compliments
each
other.
Her
skin
show
is
a
treat
for
masses.

The
other
members
of
the
group
Makarand
Deshpande
and
Ravi
Kale
have
good
scope
for
their
roles
and
they
have
done
justice
to
them.
Their
performance
surely
add
to
this
crime
show.

Others
like
Raghu
Mukherjee,
Priyanka
Kothari,
Doddana,
Bhavya
and
Sudharani
have
limited
scope
in
their
respective
roles
and
they
has
also
done
a
good
job.

In
technical
front,
Arjun
Janya's
music
and
background
score
are
main
attraction.
Ram
Prasad's
cinematography
is
another
highlight
in
it.
Editing,
dialogues
and
costumes
are
also
commendable.
