Story
Rambabu (Pawan Kalyan) is a mechanic and a responsible citizen, who fights against the odds in society by reacting to the news reports. He gets noticed by Ganga (Tamanna), working in regional news channel and persuades him in joining her team as journo. Rambabu accepts it and joins the TV Channel. He comes across opposition leader Jawahar Naidu(Kota Srinivasa Rao), who gives hard time to CM (Nasser) for making his son Rana Babu (Prakash Raj) taking the CM position. With few situations, the fight between the Rambabu and Rana Babu sets in and the rest is to be watched on-screens.
Plus Points :
Pawan Kalyan has done a superb job in this movie and he shoulders the movie admirably well. His sheer force and powerful screen presence is the biggest asset for the movie and Puri Jagan’s powerful political dialogues have worked well when uttered by Pawan Kalyan. He has also showcased his humorous side quite well.
In the current political climate of the state, some dialogues will strike a chord. For example, “Aadiki dhoola ekkuvai kurchi ekkithe meeku dhoola teeripoddi” etc. evoked a superb response from viewers.
Tamanna looks gorgeous. She only looks gorgeous (More on this later). Prakash Raj and Kota Srinivasa Rao have done a good job as the evil politicians. Nasser is dignified as Chief Minister Reddy. Tanikella Bharani is alright. Brahmanandam and Ali bring a few laughs as TV channel creative heads.
The film’s second half is a major asset, with powerful political elements and highly charged emotional sequences. The way Pawan rallies the youth of the state, the way he counters Prakash Raj and speaks about National Integration etc are highly entertaining.
The comedy scene in the second half where Pawan and Brahmanandam read the news jointly had crowds in splits of laughter.
Some scenes between Pawan and Tamanna have come out well, especially where Pawan tries to be timid and shy on purpose.
The pre-climax episodes will give great cheer to Pawan’s fans and Mani Sharma’s background score works like a charm.
Minus Points :
As I said earlier, Tamanna looks gorgeous in the movie but her characterization is very disappointing. One wonders why women in Puri Jagan’s films have to have extreme personalities. Ganga’s character is way too loud and actually gets on your nerves at times.
Some scenes should have been toned down. Like the scene where Prakash Raj and his MLA’s feel a tremor in the building towards the end. Also, there is no substance in the plot. But for Pawan’s sheer magnetism and some good dialogues in places, this movie has nothing in terms of story.
All the characters are superficial. Prakash Raj’s character in particular had great scope for picturization as a cunning and evil politician, but Puri only scrapes the surface. Also, there is no strong motive for Prakash Raj to betray his father as both of them are on good terms and both want to see Prakash Raj as the CM.
The first half could have been more entertaining. Gabriela is irritating as a TV channel boss
Technical Analysis
Cinematography by Shyam K Naidu is good and the grading, picture quality is good and colorful. Musical scores by Mani Sharma are good while the background score is an asset elevating the powerful scenes. Puri Jagannadh’s direction is okay while the dialogues had the needed essence. Screenplay could have better and racy in the first half. Editing is fine yet few scenes can be trimmed to make it much crispier.
Final Verdict
A sincere attempt by Puri Jagannadh. Watch Pawan Kalyan’s terrific on-screen presence in Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu
