Disco

is
a
science
fiction
action
film
which
features
Ravi
Teja

The

VI
Anand,
features
Payal
Rajput
and
Nabha
Natesh
as
the
female
leads.
Disco
Raja
is
a
crucial
project
for
the
lead
actor
Ravi
Teja,
who
is
in
need
of
a
solid
hit.
Did
the
sci-fi
action
film
meet
the

Plot
A
group
of
scientists
in
Ladakh
revives
a
frozen
dead
body
from
the
snow
and
brings
it
back
to
life
using
a
newly-developed
technology.
The
relived
person
(Ravi
Teja)
reveals
that
he
is
Disco
Raja,
a
gangster
who
lived
in
Madras
35
years
ago.
At
the
same
time,
Vasu
(Ravi
Teja,
again)
the
doppelganger
of
Disco
Raja
goes
missing
and
his
friends
are
actively
searching
for
him.
The
rest
of
the
plot
revolves
around
the
connection
between
Disco
Raja
and
Vasu,
and
how
Raja
avenges
his
death.
Script
&
Direction
VI
Anand
has
scripted
(dialogues
by
Abburi
Ravi)
and
directed
Disco
Raja,
which
was
promoted
as
a
sci-fi
action
film,
before
its
release.
The
director
has
succeeded
in
opening
the
movie
on
a
highly
promising
note.
The
sci-fi
track
is
narrated
very
well,
with
stunning
visualization
and
background
score.
Disco
Raja
will
give
its
audiences
a
feel
that
they
are
in
for
a
unique
movie
experience,
at
the
beginning.
But
after
a
certain
point,
the
sci-fi
angle
is
completely
forgotten
and
the
movie
totally
transforms
into
a
cliche
mass-action
entertainer,
which
is
utterly
disappointing.
Later,
the
Ravi
Teja
starrer
displays
all
conventional
traits
of
a
formula
entertainer,
including
the
age-old
revenge
angle
and
repetitive
romance
and
comedy
tracks.
This
sudden
transformation
from
a
promising
sci-fi
premise
to
routine
mass
film
kills
the
impact
of
the
interval
punch
and
the
twist
in
the
second
half.
The
over-stretched
climax
portion
act
as
the
last
nail
in
the
coffin.
Disco
Raja
is
definitely
not
for
the
audiences
who
were
expecting
a
fresh,
unique
film
experience.
But
the
movie
might
appeal
to
the
viewers
who
love
formula
mass
entertainers.
Performances
Ravi
Teja,
the
leading
man
has
delivered
an
effortless
performance
as
Disco
Raja
and
Vasu,
which
will
definitely
impress
his
fans.
His
screen
presence
and
energy
are
the
biggest
plus
points
of
the
film.
But
sadly,
Disco
Raja
doesn't
provide
any
scope
for
the
Mass
Maharaja
to
explore
his
acting
skills.
Bobby
Simha,
who
appears
as
the
main
antagonist,
has
played
his
part
well.
But
again,
the
role
is
a
cakewalk
for
the
National
award-winning
actor.
Payal
Rajput
and
Nabha
Natesh
are
good
in
their
limited
roles.
Vennela
Kishore
scores
with
his
amazing
comic
timing.
The
rest
of
the
star
cast,
including
Sunil,
Tanya
Tope,
Satya,
Jeeva,
etc.,
are
good
in
their
respective
roles.
Technical
Aspects
Karthik
Ghattamaneni,
the
director
of
photography
has
done
a
brilliant
job
with
excellent
visualization,
which
can
be
called
as
one
of
the
biggest
attractions
of
the
film.
Shravan
Katikaneni's
editing
is
not
up
to
the
mark,
as
the
movie
loses
its
grip
totally
in
the
second
half.
The
songs
by
S
Thaman-Sirivennela
Seetharam
Sastry
duo
are
just
fine.
But
the
musician
scores
with
the
effective
background
score
which
sets
up
the
right
mood
for
the
movie,
especially
in
the
sci-fi
portions.

Verdict
Disco
Raja
might
impress
the
audiences
who
love
to
watch
Ravi
Tejai
n
a
formula

entertainer.
But
the
movie
will
definitely
disappoint
those
who
were
expecting

well-made
