Puri
Jagannadh
is
here
again
to
treat
you
with
his
third
offering
for
the
year,
Loafer,
while
Varun
Tej
is
venturing
out
to
test
the
waters
as
a
mass
hero.
Read
the
review
to
know
if
the
duo
has
succeeded
in
delivering
a
promising
film.
Rating:
2.5/5
Loafer
Story:
The
story
revolves
around
a
mother
(Revathi)
and
a
son
(Varun
Tej),
who
gets
separated
because
of
a
greedy
and
selfish
father
(Posani)
.
Due
to
a
poor
upbringing,
hero
grows
up
to
be
a
loafer,
just
like
his
dad,
thinking
his
mother
is
dead.
What
happens
when
he
finds
out
that
his
mother
is
alive
and
know
the
reality
of
his
father?
Will
Revathi
accept
her
son,
who
is
now
almost
like
her
venal
husband?
This
forms
the
rest
of
the
story.
Performances:
Varun
Tej
though
was
a
little
amateur
in
dances,
he
excelled
in
emotional
scenes
and
his
great
ease
in
delivering
Puri
mark
one-liners
is
a
surprise.
Loafer
makes
it
a
show
reel
for
the
actor
to
set
up
himself
as
the
commercial
hero
in
the
industry.
Disha
Patni
makes
an
impressive
début
and
looked
gorgeous
throughout
the
film.
Revathi
stands
out
in
a
Puri
mark
characterization
while
Posani
felt
loud.
Saptagiri,
Ali
and
other
notable
comedians
are
wasted.
Technical
Aspects:
Like
all
the
recent
Puri
Jagannadh
films,
Loafer
also
backs
up
a
major
complaint
about
its
poor
production
values.
However,
cinematographer
P
G
Vinda
appears
to
have
given
his
best
in
making
the
frames
colorful.
Puri
Jagannadh
once
again
proved
that
he
is
second
to
none
when
designing
out
of
the
box
characters
and
penning
catchy
one-liners.
Though
the
dosage
of
punch
lines
is
less
relatively,
unexpected
zingers
here
and
there
keeps
you
glued.
Background
music
in
some
of
the
key
scenes
and
'Suvvi
Suvvalamma'
song
by
Sunil
Kashyap
will
haunt
you.
On
the
down
side,
unwanted
stress
on
comedy
scenes,
a
couple
of
uninteresting
songs
and
slow-paced
first
half
and
loud
histrionics
of
the
actors
makes
you
feel
stressful.
Overview:
We
can
say
it
is
a
'operation
success,
patient
dead'
kind
of
a
product
since
Varun
Tej
managed
to
score
well,
while
Puri
Jagannadh
disappoints
you
big
time
by
going
for
a
rush
and
delivering
a
poor
quality
output.

Theme
The
film
is
loud
entirely
and
if
you
could
connect
with
the
sentiment
scenes
in
the
second
half,
you
are
saved.
But
if
you
are
a
person
that
cannot
handle
melodrama,
then
you
are
gone
for
a
toss.
Introduction
The
movie
starts
off
on
an
emotional
note
with
an
argument
between
Revathi
and
Posani.
Hero
will
be
introduced
in
Jodhpur
followed
by
a
song.
Movie's
run
time
is
of
139
minutes.
Heroine
Disha
Patni
makes
a
decent
debut
as
Paarijatham.
She
oozes
glamour
and
can
act
well
too,
though
she
felt
little
raw
with
her
look
to
the
camera
and
bad
lip
sync.
Romantic
Song
Varun
and
Disha's
love
track
was
a
bit
off
the
beat
and
the
romantic
scenes
between
the
lead
pair
were
conceived
well.
Jiya
Jale
song
raises
the
temperature.
Average
First
Half
With
a
good
interval,
Loafer
makes
it
to
an
average
and
passable
first
half.
You
will
surely
miss
heavy
dose
of
Puri
mark
dialogues.
Police
Station
Scene
Second
half
starts
on
a
serious
note,
where
Varun
forces
Posani
to
reveal
the
fact
behind
his
mother's
death.
The
police
station
scene
that
is
followed
stands
out.
Suvvi
Suvvalamma
The
mother
sentiment
song
worked
out
big
time
and
Varun
Tej's
matured
performance
is
a
shocker.
Verdict
Loafer
makes
it
a
decent
watch
for
people,
who
like
Puri
mark
films
despite
poor
production
values,
loud
and
bold
characters.
