Five
years
after
the
release
of
Ninna
Nedu
Repu,
director
Lakshmikanth
Chenna
has
made
a
comeback
with
the
movie
Kameena,
which
is
remake
of
critically-acclaimed
Bollywood
film
Johnny
Gaddaar
-
a
neo-noir
thriller
film
written
and
directed
by
Sriram
Raghavan.
But
he
has
failed
to
make
it
an
interesting
watch
due
to
his
poor
directorial
work.
Taking
the
basic
story
from
Johnny
Gadar,
Lakshmikanth
has
re-rewritten
the
script
in
a
different
way.
He
has
made
several
changes
in
the
story
to
suit
the
taste
of
Telugu
audience,
but
the
result
is
that
he
has
failed
to
execute
his
ideas
on
screen.
A
little
more
homework
by
him
should
have
made
the
film
an
interesting
fare.
The
movie
revolves
around
police
officers
recounting
a
story
of
missing
money,
which
results
in
lies,
deceit,
betrayal
and
death.
Unlike
the
original,
Kameena
is
very
boring
and
predictable
in
the
second
half.
Barring
a
few
scenes,
the
movie
has
a
slow
and
dragging
narration,
which
kills
the
interest
of
the
viewers.
Dharma
(Sai
Kumar),
Teja
(Ashish
Vidyarthi),
Kailash
(Brahmaji),
Siva
(Subbaraju)
and
Siddhu
(Krish)
are
close
friends,
who
are
involved
in
illegal
business.
They
get
a
deal
from
Inspector
Kalyan
(Ravi
Babu),
who
ask
them
to
collect
Rs
5
crores.
They
managed
to
get
this
huge
amount
and
assign
Shiva
the
task
of
delivering
it.
But
things
go
horribly
wrong
in
the
process,
when
Siddhu
plans
to
escape
with
the
money.
What
happens
next
will
form
the
rest
of
the
story.

Lead
Actors'
Performances
In
Kameena
Sai
Kumar,
Ashish
Vidyardhi,
Brahmaji
and
Subbaraju,
who
have
played
the
lead
roles
in
Kameena,
have
delivered
good
performances,
which
are
the
main
attractions
in
the
movie.
Krish's
Performance
In
Kameena
But
debutante
Krish,
who
has
played
a
lead
role
in
Kameena,
has
failed
to
do
justice
to
his
role.
He
has
still
long
way
to
prove
his
mettle
in
the
film
industry.
Other
supporting
artistes
have
also
done
good
job.
Production
Values
In
Kameena
The
biggest
drawbacks
of
the
movie
Kameena
are
its
poor
production
values.
Except
for
the
camera
work,
all
technical
departments
have
failed
to
live
upto
the
mark.
Mainly
music
and
dialogues
are
very
poor.
At
least
a
better
editing
could
have
saved
the
movie.
Kameena
Verdict
Overall,
Kameena
is
an
average
fare
and
a
poor
remake
of
critically-acclaimed
Hindi
movie
Johny
Gaddaar.
It
is
an
ignorable
movie.
