Director
Trivikram
Srinivas
latest
Telugu
movie
Julayi
starring
Allu
Arjun
and
Ileana
D'Cruz
in
leads,
is
a
mass
entertainer,
which
has
all
the
masala
elements
like
good
music,
dance,
comedy,
action
and
beautiful
locations
and
costumes.
Although
it
has
a
weak
story
and
few
other
drawbacks,
it
is
perfect
treat
for
a
family
audience
this
weekend.
Allu
Arjun's
performance
is
the
major
highlight
of
the
film.
Arjun-Ileana's
on-screen
chemistry,
Devi
Sri
Prasad's
music,
Brahmanandham
and
Hema's
comedy
timing,
Trvikram
Srinivas'
excellent
direction
and
dialogues,
Peter
Hein's
stunts,
beautiful
locations
and
costumes
are
other
attractions
of
the
movie.
The
big
drawback
of
the
film
is
its
storyline.
Julayi
is
all
about
making
easy
money.
The
movie
revolves
around
the
story
of
an
aimless
guy,
who
sets
on
to
make
easy
money,
but
realises
the
difficulties
as
he
starts
his
journey
towards
the
goal.
No
doubt,
the
first
half
of
the
film
is
superb
with
its
series
of
comedy
episodes,
music
and
dance.
The
film
turns
very
sentimental
with
its
multiple
twists
in
the
second
half.
But
its
narration
takes
a
slow
pace
as
it
moves
towards
climax.
Ravindra
Narayan
(Allu
Arjun)
is
a
middle
class
guy,
who
believes
in
making
quick
money.
But
he
will
never
resort
to
illegal
activities.
But
his
father
Narayana
Murthy
(Tanikella
Bharani)
believes
in
hard
work.
Ravindra
comes
in
the
way
of
Bittu
(Sonu
Sood),
who
plans
a
bank
robbery
of
Rs
1,500
crore.
When
he
gets
the
information,
he
informs
police
commissioner
Manikyam
(Rao
Ramesh)
and
gets
Bittu
caught.
In
the
process,
Bittu's
brother
Lala
(Shafi)
gets
killed.
A
furious
Bittu
swears
to
take
revenge
on
Ravindra.
However,
Commissioner
Manikyam
packs
off
Ravindra
secretly
to
Hyderabad
as
he
had
the
responsibility
to
save
the
witness.
What
happens
next
will
form
the
crux
of
the
film.
Allu
Arjun
has
delivered
a
wonderful
performance
in
the
film
Julayi.
He
looks
very
energetic
in
dance
and
action
sequences.
His
comedy
timing
throughout
the
movie
keeps
the
viewers
glued
to
the
screen.
Though,
his
love
interest,
Ileana
D'Cruz
has
less
space
to
show
skills,
she
rocks
the
audience
in
songs.
A
special
mention
should
be
made
about
Brahmanandham
and
Hema's
rib
tickling
comedy.
Others
like
Sonu
Sood
as
Bittu,
Rajendra
Prasad,
Thanikella
Bharani,
Kota
Sreenivasarao
have
also
delivered
excellent
acting
for
their
respective
role.
Devi
Sri
Prasad's
music
is
the
major
attraction
in
the
technical
front.
He
has
given
foot
tapping
beats
and
his
compositions
like
'O
Madhu',
'Pakado
Pakado'
and
'Julayi'
are
sure
to
rock
the
audience.
The
cinematography
of
Chota
K
Naidu
and
Shyam
K
Naidu
in
song
sequence
is
simply
superb.
Prawin
Pudi's
editing
is
also
commendable.
Trivikram's
dialogues
are
excellent.
Verdict:
Watch
Julayi
for
Allu
Arjun's
energetic
performance,
Devi
Sri
Prasad's
music,
Trivikram's
witty
dialogues,
Sonu
Sood's
great
action,
Rajendra
Prasad's
performance
and
Ileana's
glamour.
It
is
a
perfect
mixture
of
performances.
The
film
has
everything
for
the
audience
of
all
class
and
age
group.
