Jagapathi
Babu
has
been
doing
action
backdrop
films
at
every
possible
opportunity
and
Chattam
is
one
among
such
films.
Produced
by
Nattikumar
on
the
banner
of
Vishaka
Talkies
with
PA
Arun
Prasad
as
director,
the
film
is
made
with
some
real
life
incidents
and
a
cinematic
answer
to
such
issues.
Read
on
for
Chattam
review.
Story:
Gowri
Shankar
(Jagapathi
Babu)
is
a
circle
inspector
of
Punjagutta
and
is
known
as
a
heavy
corrupt
police
officer.
Rangarao
(Jeeva)
is
his
assistant
and
his
daughter
Sindhu
(Vimala
Raman)
is
an
aerobics
teacher.
Once,
two
sons
of
a
big
industrialist
(Prasadbabu)
kill
two
girls
for
not
accepting
their
love
by
pouring
acid
on
them.
Soon,
the
two
get
killed
by
some
unidentified
person
in
the
same
fashion.
The
industrialist
uses
his
political
influence
and
get
the
case
investigated
by
the
CB-CID.
The
police
commissioner
(Chalapati
Rao)
calls
Gowri
and
tells
him
to
handover
all
the
evidences
to
the
CB-CID
officer
(Ajay
Sharma).
Even
as
the
CID
officer
is
investigating,
another
two
persons
get
murdered
in
the
same
fashion.
The
CID
officer
makes
an
in-depth
study
into
the
case
and
finally
comes
to
the
conclusion
that
it
is
Gowri,
who
is
behind
the
these
murders.
At
this
juncture,
Gowri
leaves
for
Mumbai
and
kills
some
gangsters
who
were
kidnapping
and
selling
young
girls
and
exporting
them
to
other
countries.
After
he
kills
all
the
gangsters,
the
Mumbai
police
arrest
him
and
keeps
him
in
a
jail,
where
an
international
terrorist
Kasab
from
Pakistan
was
placed.
The
CBI
officer
gets
a
doubt
and
warns
the
jailer
that
Gowri
intentionally
surrendered
to
the
police
as
he
wanted
to
kill
Kasab.
What
happens
next
should
be
seen
on-screen.
Performance:
As
far
as
performance,
Jagapathi
Babu
has
complete
justice
to
his
role.
However,
the
director
has
tried
to
evoke
comedy
with
'mandu" scenes,
which
tests
the
patience
of
the
audience.
Vimala
Raman
is
okay.
Asish
Vidyarthi
has
just
come
and
gone,
while
Ajay
Sharma
is
excellent
in
his
role
of
a
CBI
officer.
Rao
Ramesh,
Chalapati
Rao,
Vijayachander,
Sana
and
others
are
just
okay.
Technical:
None
of
the
technical
crew
has
worked
whole
heartedly
for
the
movie.
The
cinematography
is
very
poor
as
there
is
no
consistency
in
lighting.
The
editing
is
full
of
jerks
and
the
audience
will
groped
in
dark
due
to
the
jump
of
scenes
abruptly.
Music
by
MM
Srilekha
is
not
so
appealing.
However,
she
has
given
her
best
in
the
re-recording.
The
screenplay
is
penned
with
an
old
style
of
narration.
The
director
has
has
used
real
life
incidents
like
the
acid
attack
on
a
girl
in
Warangal,
the
kidnap
and
murder
of
Vaishnavi
in
Vijayawada,
besides
the
attack
on
a
Mumbai
hotel
by
Pakistani
terrorists.
However,
the
director
has
failed
to
link
these
stories
properly.
A
Remarks:
The
first
half
is
just
okay.
However,
the
director
has
failed
to
maintain
a
balance
in
the
scenes.
At
a
time
when
the
film
was
running
with
a
gripping
mood,
the
director
gets
the
mood
spoiled
by
incorporating
unnecessary
scenes.
The
climax
too
is
quite
routine
and
such
lengthy
speeches
in
a
court
scene
are
very
boring.
Watch
the
film
for
Vimala
Raman"s
exposure
and
the
romantic
songs.
Another
big
draw
back
of
the
film
is
lack
of
proper
comedy.
