Review: Attack – Watch it at your own risk

Category : Audio Reviews Movie Reviews Movie Reviews by Telugu Box Office

RGV’s-Attack-Release-Date-Locked
A director is said to be captain of ship. He controls and authorises everything that goes into making of a film. Directing a single movie at a time is an exhausting task, mentally and physically. So, directors don’t take that risk. As an exception to this, we have RGV aka Ram Gopal Varma. We have a plenty of movie posters or teasers or trailers released of his movies. One in that list is Manchu Manoj starrer “Attack” produced by C Kalyan, Swethalana and Teja under C K Entertainments, having Beeruva fame Surabhi as lead actress. It is releasing into theatres today. Let’s see how it works on us!
 
Story: 
 
Guru Raj (Prakash Raj) is a business man and a person who once runs a rowdy gang. He has three sons Kali (Jagapathy Babu), Gopi (Vadde Naveen), Radha (Manchu Manoj). While on a visit to temple, Guru Raj is attacked by a gang and is killed. His family is clueless about the motive behind this attack. 
 
Kali starts digging out the possible reasons and motive for this attack and people involved and planned. Everyone starts going opposite them. They even gets no support from anyone. They doubt a person and find about his whereabouts through a Police. Kali goes there with his gang and he is killed in this attack. Then it is the rise of Radha to solve all the problems. Who is behind these attacks?? What is the motive behind these attacks?? That forms the rest of story.
 
 
Actor’s  Performance: 
 
Manchu Manoj as Radha doesn’t get much to perform in the first half. He is good throughout his role. Jagapathy Babu as Kali is impressive. It is said to be a comeback of Vadde Naveen. He is good with his performance. Prakash Raj as Guru Raj is adequate. RGV narrated philosophy through his role. What can a good actor/actors do when the script itself is a vaccum. Surabhi is seen hardly in the movie. Poonam Kaur is only meant for her thigh show. Abhimanyu Singh is good. Other actors are adequate.
 
Analysis:
 
Attack story plot is just laced with attacks and counter attacks. There is nothing to look into this story. Dialogues are simple and philosophical at times. All the characters in the movie are under developed. The script of this Attack is a big zero. Screenplay is bad. It fails to engage audience and also fails to create curiosity.
 
Music by Ravi Shankar is okay. His background music has nothing to do with this movie. His score where Jagapathi Babu dies is very bad. Cinematography by Anji is good. They are all RGV’s vintage angles. Ariel shots are good. Editing by Anwar Ali is mediocre. Stunts are well composed. Production values are good.
 
 
Plus Points: 
 
1) Prakash Raj and Manoj Performances
2) Cinematography
 
Minus Points: 
1) Music
2) Story
3) Screenplay
 

Review: Oopiri – A must watch emotional entertainer

Category : Audio Reviews Movie Reviews Movie Reviews by Telugu Box Office Sliders

Multi Starrers are not too common in our Telugu films. We see two stars coming together for a film very rare. In the olden days they were so common. For the reason unknown, our Telugu film viewers experience it very rarely. Trend of multi starrers again started with Mahesh Babu and Victory Venkatesh starrer Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu directed by Srikanth Addala produced by Dil Raju. This is again time for a multi starrer with Nagarjuna and Karthi coming together as cast with Thamanna Bhatia in female lead directed by Vamsi Paidipally under PVP Cinema. Let’s see how it works on us.
 
Story:
Seenu (Karthi) is a guy released from jail on parole. He is thrown out of his house by his mother (Jayasudha) about his behaviour putting his siblings career in his her mind. He attends an interview just to pass time and to get shelter. He then appointed as a care taker to Vikram Adithya (Nagarjuna Akkineni), chairman of Vikram Adithyaa group of companies. He is a quadriplegic patient, whose body is more like paralysed leaving his body parts immovable. How he takes care of Vikram?? What is the real reason behind Seenu getting job?? Answers to these questions form the rest of the story.
 
Actor’s Performance:
 
Nagarjuna Akkineni as Vikram Adithya, a quadriplegic patient is a lot more than fantastic. Their is no enough words to match his acting capabilities or his performance in Oopiri. As he was saying in interviews it is definitely a life changing movie for him. Karthi as Seenu is super good and is terrific in his role. 
 
He complimented Nagarjuna very well in performance like a brother. Thamanna Bhatia is fantabulous and super beautiful. Jayasudha is superb as a middle class mother. Late Kalpana garu is nice. Prakash Raj did a superb job. Ali is hilarious in his role. Thanikella Bharani is good in his limited role. Other actors did according to their given role. Cameos have been used well.
 
Technical Aspects:
 
Story is so simple with a lot of emotions. Screenplay is so engaging and so convincing that audience watch it with a happy emotion on their face and wet eyes. Dialogues are situational and are well written. Songs are fresh and breezing to ears. They are well composed putting situations in mind by Gopi Sundar. 
 
His background score is what it makes movie more emotional and more engaging. It is spell bounding. Cinematography by P S Vinodh is fantastic. He visuals are added advantage to this fantastic movie. Editing by Madhu is crisp. It is perfect. Race sequence is composed well. Production values are so rich.
 
Plus Points:
 
1) Performances by Nagarjuna Akkineni and Karthi
2) Story
3) Screenplay by Vamsi Paidipally
4) Music by Gopi Sundar
5) Cinematography by P S Vinodh
 
Minus Points:
1) Lengthy second half

Review: Kathakali -Thrilling and intense murder drama

Category : Audio Reviews Latest Reviews Movie Reviews Movie Reviews by Telugu Box Office Sliders

Making a movie is one thing and releasing it is another difficult issue. So many movies struggle to much to make it to theatres. Be it financial issues, theatre findings, production issues they face too many hurdles to make their movie screen in a theatre. Vishal starrer Kathakali is one such movie which is finally releasing after so many delays into theaters, which is directed by Pandiraj with Catherine Tresa in female lead produced by Vishal under his Vishal Film Factory. It was released in Tamil before and earned decent reviews from critics and audience as well. Let’s see how it works on us.
 
Story:
 
Kamal aka Kamalakar Reddy (Vishal) returns from USA to marry his love interest Malliswari (Catherine Tresa). He goes to all his friends houses to invite them to his marriage. During these visits his love story is revealed. Malliswari (Catherine Tresa) and Kamal (Vishal) falls in love through a wrong phone call. He goes to USA due to certain problems and comes to India to marry her. Sambasivudu (Madhusudhan Rao) is the president of Fishers Association, Kakinada. Kamal’s family has some major problems with him. One day Kamal shows his anger on Sambasivudu when he is with his friends. Finally, Sambasivudu is brutally murdered and the blame comes on Kamal and his brother. Who are the culprits behind the murder?? What is the problem between Kamal and Samba?? forms rest of the story.
 
Actor’s  Performance:
 
Vishal as Kamal aka Kamalakar Reddy is decent. He seems regular in his roles. He is well as a innocent guy who goes with the situations. Catherine Tresa as Malliswari is good. As we have been seeing heroines don’t get much scope to prove their potent in action movies, this movie is not an exception. Mime Gopi as Vishal’s brother is good. Shatru is good fit for his role Jayaprakash as a powerful businessman is good. Karunas is good in his comic role. Lakshmi Ramakrishnan is nice. Sreejith Ravi as Harish Chandra is super fit for his role. He comes in the second half and does his part well. All other actors has done well.
 
Analysis: 
 
Plot of the story is good. Story is written well. Screenplay is good. It is engaging throughout the movie with love track as an exception. Dialogues are good. Love track between leads is so crap and it should have been written better. Intro of Sambasivudu and his opposition with a voice over is the beginning of the movie. This half is filled with Intro of all the characters and love track between Vishal and Catherine Tresa which is so crap. It neither has the intense love nor emotion. It is ended with murder of Sambasivudu where Kamal and his brother are fixed for the murder. It ends in so interesting way creating so much curiosity of what’s really happening. Second half begins with so much melodramatic scenes. It run on the base of Harish Chandra trying to arrest Kamal and close the case as wife of Samba is opposing to cremate Samba’s dead body. National award winning director Pandiraj as done good job with this movie.
 
Technical Aspects:
 
Songs composed by Hip Hop Tamizha are ignorable. Background score is nice. It elevates film to a decent level. Cinematography by Balasubrahmaniam is excellent. He showed movie in a realistic way. Visuals are fantastic. Editing is good. Action part is well composed. Production values are nice.
 
Plus Points:
  1. Vishal
  2. Screenplay by Pandiraj
  3. Cinematography by Balasubrahmaniam
  4. Background Score
 
Minus Points:
  1. Love track between Vishal and Catherine Tresa
  2. Songs

Review: Kalyana Vaibhogame (Naga Shaurya, Malavika Nair)

Category : Audio Reviews Movie Reviews Movie Reviews by Telugu Box Office

kalyanavaibhogameselfie_0
Cast: Naga Shaurya, Malavika Nair
Banner: Sri Ranjith Movies
Music: Kalyani Koduri
Producer: K.L. Damodar Prasad
Director: Nandini Reddy
Story:
 
Shaurya (Naga Shaurya) is a happy go lucky youngster who works as a video game designer in Hyderabad. He has little respect for the institution of marriage and prefers to spend his life without responsibilities. He also plans to get hold of a multi million project in New York so that he can escape the traditional baggage. 
 
As fate could have it, Shaurya’s doting grandmother falls ill and expresses her last wish that Shaurya should get married before she dies. Shaurya meets Divya (Malavika Nair), a medical student in typical marriage looks set up and they soon realize that both share similar views on marriage. In order to escape their respective parents pressure, they decide to get married and then plan for a divorce on mutual consent. How do the equations turn around after they get married?- forms the rest of the plot.
 
Actors Performances:
 
Naga Shaurya shines in the role of a typical urban youngster. His chemistry with Malavika Nair is worth mentioning and the young actor delivers par excellence in emotional scenes. If at all he chooses novel scripts, a bright future awaits this rising star!
The bubbly actress Malavika Nair is fantastic in the role of an independent girl who is controlled by her doting father all the time. Her role has multiple shades and she carries the urban look with amazing ease. However, her histrionics resemble Nitya Menon in many sequences yet she pulls off to be unique.
 
Yesteryear hero Anand turned character actor gets a meaty role as an over controlling father and he does it with great perfection. He has little scope to deliver long dialogues but still makes his presence felt. One can see a different dimension of 90s actress Raashi in this film. She delivers emotions with just her eyes and suited perfectly to the role of a herione’s mother who is reserved. She might become the next Nadhiya for her classy performance!
 
 Aggressive actress Aishwarya tones down to suit the role of hero’s mother. She does a neat job.Mirchi Hemanth has very less scope to perform as the hero’s quirky friend but he does well. Taagubothu Ramesh and Ashish Vidyarthi surprise the audience with their reprise of roles from Alaa Modhalaindhi as software engineer Gautam and serial killer respectively. The rest of the supporting cast is quite good and do their part.
 
Analysis:
 
The lady director Nandini Reddy struck gold with her debut film Alaa Modhalaindhi which thereby increased more expectations when she announced her second project Jabardasth. But the film disappointed many audience for being a straight lift from Bollywood flick Band Baaja Baarat. The director seems to have decided to play on her strengths by delivering a feel good family entertainer with great performances with Kalyana Vaibhogame.
 
 One can say she was successful to certain extent in this regard. The film is based on the point how youngsters consider the institution of marriage to be stress at this era. While the film takes off on a fresh note with satires on arranged marriages and how families pressurize their respective kids for getting married, it transforms to just another predictable love story as it progresses.  Moreover, the basic storyline of the film has irresistible resemblance to Allu Arjun’s Happy sans commercial fights and masala. But some lines regarding the glorification of wedding system and family bonding were greatly executed.Kalyani Koduri delivers another melodious album for this flick and the songs blend with the storyline too well.  The background score fuses well with the scenes and make it a pleasant watch.
 
Plus Points: 
1)Lead actors performances
2)Clean comedy
 
Minus Points:
1)Dragging second half
2)Predictable storyline
 

Review: Shaurya (Manchu Manoj, Regina Cassandra)

Category : Audio Reviews Movie Reviews Movie Reviews by Telugu Box Office

Manchu-Manoj-First-Look-in-Shourya
Cast: Manchu Manoj, Regina Cassandra
Music: Veda K
Producer: Malkapuram Siva Kumar
Director: K Dasaradh
Story: 
 
Shourya (Manoj) is a Harvard graduate with loads of ambitions. In the opening scene, he plays a suave wannabe entrepreneur explaining his business plan. Then he meets his lover Netra (Regina) and they plan to leave India and work in the UK. However, Netra has a wish to visit Kotilingala temple during Sivaratri, and following this Shourya chances upon a series of unforeseen events. The movie rides on a ‘Who done it?’ template with intermittent twists and multiple sub-plots. We can’t reveal more of it here!
 
Actors Performances:
 
Manchu Manoj underplays his usual self and gives a subdued performance in this film. Whatever you expect from Manoj – the uncanny comedy, fights, etc. are not seen here. Good to see him venture out of the massy mold he created for himself over the years. Regina Cassandra plays the regular girl next door. A kind of the same role (with over-makeup) that’s she has been doing since eons. Though there were sparks of brilliance in her role, she couldn’t pull it off with poise. Prakash Raj sleepwalks the typical intelligent cop role and plays the one with Athadu hangover. His introduction is interesting but there should have been more meat on his character than just the one who’s connecting the dots.
Prabhas Sreenu owns the first half with his quirky comedy and makes the bland proceedings interesting Shakalaka Shankar presses the comic button in his introduction scene but his presence is shot-living. Brahmanandam has become boring these days with every director forcefully planting him to buy some run time. His character in this film also falls flat, and there’s just one spooky comic track to count on. Nagineedu plays the routine father with different intentions.Subbaraj is shown with negative shades and carries those traces all through the film. Nandu, Shayaji Shinde and others make blink-and-miss appearances.
Analysis:
 
With Shourya, director Dasarath comes out of his comfort zone of family dramas. He pens a decent story but the problem lies in the way in which it is narrated with many sub-plots. At a point of time the viewer gets confused in piecing them together. Every story has three points of view – audience, narrator, fact. 
 
Shourya is based on this key element. That being said, when the twist pops up out of nowhere, the movie seems to be interesting but we are forced to watch the mundane stuff of boy-meets-girl and the hero wearing a heavy tinge of a Good Samaritan. This drenches out all the intrigue that’s generated from the happenings. The dialogues are good at places and the technical values are apt.
 
Plus Points:
1)Manoj and his nuanced performance and effortlessly handling the drifts in his character. 
2) The climax, though a rip-off from many other flicks, is partly satiating.
 
Minus Points:
1)Routine scenes
2)Baseless comedy tracks and hurdling songs.
3)Music: 
4)Veda K shines with his music in bits and pieces but fails to create an impact for this force-fit thriller.

Review: Guntur Talkies (Siddhu, Rashmi Gautam)

Category : Audio Reviews Latest Reviews Movie Reviews Movie Reviews by Telugu Box Office News Sliders

maxresdefault
Cast: Siddhu, Rashmi Gautham, Shraddha Das
Banner: RK Studios
Music: Sri Charan
Editor: Dharmendra Kakarala
Producer: Raaj Kumar M
Story- Screenplay-Director: Praveen Sattaru
Story:
 
Hari (Siddhu) and Giri (Naresh) who work in a medical shop are petty thieves. In one such trifling robbery one night, Hari and Giri rob about Rs 5 lakhs each and on top of it a Calcium Sandoz box without mutual knowledge. Both Hari and Giri flee off and their shop keeper (Sudarshan), Inspector Venkat (Raja Ravindra) & CI (Raghu Babu) chase these crooks. Besides them, Hari has Revolver Rani (Shraddha Das) and his muse Suvarna’s (Rashmi) parents chasing him and local don Jackie scouting for the Calcium Sandoz box. How did Hari and Giri survive the fatal hunt for them and what happened to their theft forms the rest of the plot.
 
Actors Performances:
Versatile actor  Naresh steals the show with his exceptionally gritty and hilarious act as ‘Giri’. He is one of the key reasons why you might watch the film throughout. Yet another promising young talent Siddhu has arrived. For all those who might conveniently keep aside this fledgling actor, with Guntur Talkies he announced that he is here to stay.
Seductress actres Reshmi Gautam has successfully pulled the crowds to the theatres but has been just used as a tease and nothing more. Better not to expect much. Shraddha Das is hot and her character was hatke too. When she says “Daa” you must go – entertaining! Unfortunately she got nothing to do beyond that. By the way, you’ve a surprising cameo by none other than Lakshmi Manchu in the film. Check it out for yourselves. Raghu Babu, Raja Ravindra, Potti Sudarshan, Jogi Nayudu, Fish Venkat, Pavala Syamala, Karate Kalyani & others give their best to this crime comedy but none of them were used to their fullest potentials.
 
Technical Aspects: 
 
Besides the enticing Nee Kosam song, no conventional song numbers are to be expected in this film. However, Sri Charan does a decent job with the back ground score. Editing is average but certain scenes during the second half could have been chopped off.
​This is pretty much predictable but leaves the audience with brains full of doubts to come back with pocket full popcorn.

Review: Kshanam – Engaging, Surprising and Entertaining!

Cast: Adivi Sesh, Adah Sharma, Anasuya Bharadwaj, Satyam Rajesh, Vennela Kishore, Satya
Banner: PVP Pictures
Music: Sricharan
Producer: Param V Potluri & Kavin Anne
Director: Ravikanth.
 
Story: 
Rishi (Adivi Sesh) is a busy Investment banker in San Francisco. One day his ex-girlfriend Swetha (Adah Sharma) from India, calls him up to meet. Rishi who couldn’t forget Swetha flies down to India immediately and meets her. But much to his shock, Swetha tells him about her missing daughter Riya and desperately seeks his help in finding her. Though Rishi is initially told to fly back, he determines to help Swetha. But in the course of Riya’s pursuit, Rishi encounters a serious conflict between Reality & Truth and how did Rishi unfold the missing mystery and realize the truth forms the rest of the story.
 
Actors Performances:
Adivi Sesh was indeed the chariot of the film. He was always an interesting actor and he once again brilliantly carried the entire film on his shoulder.Adah Sharma unleashes the performer in her through this film. Anasuya Bharadwaj’s acting abilites will shock you and has got a big surprise for you. Way long to go girl! Vennela Kishore once again gave us a reason why he can be loved beyond a comedian. He plays yet another interesting yet endearing role as ‘Babu Khan Kala’ in the movie. Satya of Jyothi Lakshmi fame manages to put an impressive show. Satyam Rajesh was an absolute stunner as whacky yet committed cop Inspector Ravi Chowdary. The rest of the cast has done their best to keep this suspense drama engaging.
 
Analysis:
 
Well, Kshanam totally surprised us. You can talk volumes about the film that makes way into your heart but this is just a brief analytical piece about what and what did not left us impressed. Adivi Sesh is popular as an actor but with Kshanam he proves his mettle beyond acting. He provided a robust story and director Ravikanth Pereru ably translated the script onto the screen. 
 
Technical Aspects: 
 
This suspense drama has its heart in the right place and intrigues us right from the word go.  The water tight screenplay by Adivi Sesh and Ravikanth was indeed the heart of the film.After a while through the first half, you would realize this is not a routine film you are going to enjoy and by the end of the first half, you are given the first surprise in the film. 
 
This will definitely leave you waiting for the second half that has the right twists, turns and some surprising yet engrossing performances that might leave you impressed. However, though the obvious climax and the crucial reason behind the entire suspense drama revealed in the climax is not fully convincing, the smart director has finished it off with an emotional touch. Abburi Ravi’s dialogues are precise and impactful. Kshanam is not a typical commercial album but indeed has music that suits the story and back ground score that goes in brilliant sync with the film.
 
Plus Points: 
Story & Screenplay
Performances of Sesh, Adah, Anasuya, Vennela Kishore & especially Satyam Rajesh
Cinematography
Background score
 
Minus Points: 
Lack of commercially entertaining ingredients.

​​Music : Vishal Chandrasekhar
Presented by : 14 Reels Entertainment

Release : February 12th, 2016
Krishna-Gaadi-Veera-prema-Gaadha
Story:
 
The movie kicks off in Hindupur region in Rayalaseema. Krishna is an orphan, who loves his childhood friend Mahalakshmi (Mehreen). Mahalaskhmi is the daughter of a well reputed and most influential personality in Hindupur region. Nani and Mahalakshmi love each other but in public they behave like enemies due to Mahalakshmi’s family issue.  Krishna, who is a coward by nature, couldn’t talk to Rajappa or his henchman RamaRaju (Mahalakshmi’s brother). 
 
Meanwhile, Rajappa’s brother ACP Srikanth accidentally arrests David Bhai (Murali Sharma) in Hyderabad. Amidst mysterious circumstances, Rajappa and family are attacked and ACP Srikanth’s three kids need rescue. The responsibility of the three kids  falls upon Krishna’s shoulders. How did Krishna rescues ACP Srikanth’s kids? What happened to Rajappa and his family? Will the couple reveals their love? What happened to their love story? Forms the rest of the plot. 
 
Actors Performance: 
 
Nani attempts to impress with his trademark vigor and body language. In spite of his usual guy-next-door image, he plays a routine commercial role with punches, punch dialogues, songs and dances and of course with an extra dosage of all that.
 
The debutante heroine Meheren Kaur is decent in her role. Whenever she pops out on the screen, flames it with her beautiful presence.Prudhvi’s combination with Nani is the meat in the film. Absolute fun! Murali Sharma and Sampath Raj are good in their respective roles. The other cast including Brahmaji and other did justice to their roles. 
 
 
Analysis:
 
Taking the name of ​Hanu Raghavapudi, we need to say this is a clean ​love and ​family ​entertainer. Now talking about the film, ​Hanu scores good with his interesting hero characterization that has got ample scope for comedy. And secondly he’s got a cast like Nani, ​Meherene and Murali Sharma in the lead roles. Adding to it is the sparkling chemistry of refreshing pair Nani & ​Meheren. The comedy between Murali Sharma and comedian Prudhvi will tickle your funny bones. 
 
Nani, ​Meheren, ​Prudhvi​ and Murali Sharma carry the film upon their shoulders rightly assisted by ​Brahmaji and ​Sampath Raj. ​Hanu had got his first half as a rollicking fun ride with the love story progressing simultaneously. There comes in the much predictable yet convincing pre-interval episode. While the second half is predominantly confusion drama that did evoke laughter​. ​However, extended second half and climax are the worth mentioning negative aspects of the film. On a whole, there is good comedy quotient in the film that makes the​ ​​audiences ignore the flaws and enjoy the film.​ The production values are apt and the canvas looks more colorful in song and dance sequences.​
​​
Plus Points:
 
  1. ​Extra-ordinary ​performance of the lead cast.
  2. Interesting characterization of Nani
  3. The comedy between Nani, ​Brahmaji.
  4. The romantic track between Nani and ​Meheren.
  5. Engaging screenplay w​​ith comedy throughout the film.
  6. Good songs and background score.
  7. Clean comedy that the family audience could enjoy.
 
Minus Points: 
  1. ​​Fragile conflict point
  2. Extended second half
  3. Routine and weak climax​
 
Verdict: ​
 
​​On the whole, Krishnagaadi Veera Prema Gadha ​is a decent watch and Nani scores yet another hit at the box office. ​Watch this film for Nani’s acting talents, cute romance between lead pair and Hanu Raghavapudi’s interesting direction.

Review: Loafer – Puri Jagganadh’s formulaic commercial potboiler

Category : Audio Reviews Latest Reviews Movie Reviews Movie Reviews by Telugu Box Office Sliders Spicy News

Loafernew
Director : Puri Jagannadh
Producer: C. Kalyan
Cast : Varun Tej, Disha Patani, Posani Krishna Murali , Revathi.
Story-Screenplay-Dialogues : Puri Jagganadh
Music : Sunil Kashyap
Presented by :  C. K. Entertainments
Banner : Sree Subha Swetha Films
Release : 17th December, 2015
After a brilliant positive response for his last film Kanche, Varun Tej has planned his career perfectly by associating with Puri Jagannadh for his next film Loafer.  Also starring Disha Patani, Posani Krishna Murali  and Revathi, the film has hit the screens today.Let us see how it is..
 
Story:
 
The movie starts off with a quarrel scene between Revathi and Posani, and  finally Posani walks out of home with his one year kid. Posani trains his son Varun Tej (Raja) as a selfish and make him to settle down as a pickpocketer  in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. Posani tells to Raja his mother died in his childhood. 
 
In the meantime, Parijaatam (Disha Patani), who doesn’t like her arranged marriage proposal with rich kid guy (Ali), runs away from home. She too reaches Jodhpur and settles as a guide at local forts. One day Parijaatam bumps into pickpocketer Raja in Jodhpur while he tries to steal her suitcase and slowly they both falls for each other.
 
The twist in the tale arises when few goons forcibly took Parijatam to Hyderabad. Then immediately Varun Tej  lands to Hyderabad to rescue his ladylove from the gang. With the help of Revathi, he started searching for his girlfriend. In the mean time, Raja finds his mother and knows that his mother is Revathi.  Why did the parents of the child are separated? How Parijatam and Revathi related to each other? How Raja comes to know his mother is alive? How he tries to get acceptance from his mother? How he rescue the local people in hometown from the clutches of the villain Mukhesh Rushi ? To know the answers for all these questions, watch the movie on the silver screen.
 
 
Postive Points:
 
Loafer is a romantic action movie laced with all other commercial ingredients. Though the story has nothing new to tell, some emotional scenes keep you engaged. Varun has given a stand out performance pulling of  two different roles – Loafer and emotional son with great conviction.
 
Though the story has nothing new to tell, some emotional scenes keep you engaged.  Be it comedy, emotion romance or action, Varun is game for it. The amount effort he has put to get into the shoes of emotional son is commendable. Disha Patani is good in her role.  Posani and Revathi did complete justice to their roles. Varun Tej’s performance and interval bang are the assets for the film.
Minus Points:
Story wise, once again there is nothing new. After the interval, the film gets quite predictable and you exactly know what will happen by the end. After the post interval part, the film drifts apart and some unnecessary scenes come in to the picture.
 
Climax also looks a bit forced and is also dragged out with too much melodrama. Certain logics go missing in the film as the mother son relation could have been revealed during pre-climax to make the film even more believable.
 
Music of the film is a huge let down as the songs do not register at all. Brahmanandam’s entry and his episode have been unnecessary added and looks logicless. The film’s two-hours run-time your tests you patience, as I found myself checking my watch more than once.
Technical Aspects:
 
The production values are good. Cinematography by P.G Vindha is simply superb. The portions shot in Jodhapur are extremely beautiful. The re-recording work by Sunil Kashyap elevates the film to the next level. Particularly, the BGM during the emotional scenes is simply superbb.
 
 Editing is just average. Boring First half and the second half is some what’s good in bits and parts. Though the film was shot in outdoors, Vital did  justice with his smart art work in the film.  The songs, composed by Sunil Kashyap, are brilliant, especially Suvvi Suvvi  Suvvalamma song will leave you emotional and mesmerized. The portions shot in Jodhapur are extremely beautiful.
 
Verdict: 
Loafer is not a great film and you are bound to be disappointed if you go in with huge expectations. Varun’s charisma and a few interesting twists save this flawed action entertainer! Watch it as a regular mass entertainer and the chances are there that you would end up liking it.
