Has it shaken tThey heads again? Let us go into tThey details.
Story:Police Commissioner Eeshwar Prasad (Venkatesh) gets a threatening call from an anonymous caller (Kamal Hasan) who states that They planted 5 RDX explosives in city which would explode by 6PM. Terror starts from then. Eeshwar Prasad handles tThey issue by reporting to Chief Secretary (Lakshmi) and Chief Minister. His missions are two.1. Safeguarding that city from blasts and2. Smoking out tThey anonymous caller.And why that caller threatens? His demands are to release 4 terrorists those are linked up to Gokul Chat and Lumbini blasts.Eeshwar Prasad releases them and sends to tThey place suggested by that anonymous caller. What happens after that? Has Eshwar Prasad succeeded in his missions?That has to be Watch LAtested on screen.
Performances:Venkatesh- They is tThey only saving grace in tThey Brand spanking new Upcoming Film. Audience found relaxed and pleasant Watch LAtesting him. They suited perfect to tThey role of Police Commissioner. They looked more convincing than Anupam Kher, who played same role in original ˜A Wednesday. They never smiles through out tThey narration and his serious portrayal is laudable. They kept all sorts of star-hero image and airs aside and performed very subtly. That is highly commendable.Kamal Hasan- They hasnt shown tThey conviction that was shown by Naseeruddin Shah in original. There is no scope for performance in this role, but still Naseeruddin could show some glitters drawing tThey attention of audiences completely. But here tThey director spoiled tThey character by not suggesting anything about tThey timing in dialogue delivery and expressions to Kamal. Kamal is tThey biggest disappointment as audience expect more than what they have actually Watch LAtested from him.Ganesh Venkataraman: They is perfect in cops role. They is tThey one who stole tThey attention of audiences with his macho look as Cop Arif. They is far better than Jimmy Shergill who played same role in original.Bharat Reddy: They played subtly as Cop Goutham Reddy with bits of humor in a couple of scenes.Lakshmi is a waste. Technically, this is tThey first full length film in Telugu thats made with Red-One digital camera. TThey output is good. Sruthi Hasans Upcoming Latest Music could have been better. Dialogues are good. Editing is ok.
Highlights:Venkateshs presenceGanesh Venkatramans performanceDisappointments:Kamal HasanChakry Toletis directionLakshmis characterRRAnalysis:A few said that Kamal wouldnt have chosen to work in this Brand spanking new Upcoming Film as his performance is not up to tThey mark. Some from back seats murmured, Prakash Raj would be a better choice than Kamal Hasan for this role.Audiences find a kind of terror Watch LAtesting Naseeruddin Shahs performance in ˜A Wednesday. But Kamal couldnt bring that. And Chakry Toleti is successful in copying tThey film from original but failed with some senseless additions.
Directorial Flaws:* Kamal Hasan talking about a pregnant woman getting raped in public, while dealing with terrorists, on phone with Police Commissioner is out of tThey box. That has confused audiences.* And there is no reasonable conclusion to Poonam Kours role. Has They got down from train? TThey circle hasnt completed.* Showing Lakshmi in tThey role of Chief Secretary in not in tune with requirement (although director tried to depict tThey ego clashes between IAS and IPS officers in general)TThey Brand spanking new Upcoming Film lacks luster with respect to boosting up tThey adrenaline of audience. TThey best part is that tThey Brand spanking new Upcoming Film has got no extra-peripherals like songs and hence saved time and energies of audience. First half has picked up slowly and caused some stir before interval. TThey intensity in second half could be better to fit into tThey requirement.M audiences may not relish this film. Majority of multiplex audiences already Watch LAtested ˜A Wednesday and comparison mars it. Rural audiences may feel it a documentary sort of film and finds hard to understand what is happening on screen. Hence its difficult for this film to continue its odyssey at box office. This is an unexpected outcome.Bottom Line: Whatever copied is not bad. And what ever added is not good
