Story: A stale tale, the story begins with Rishi (prabhas) who comes to Hyderabad with a mission. He wants to meet one Stephen Robert who is a dangerous don and a noted killer. On enquiring, Rishi gets to know no one has seen Stephen so far and only one girl can help him. She is Nandini (tamanna), daughter of Stephen’s close associate. Rishi manages to befriend Nandini and she also falls in love with him. But Rishi has a past that she doesn’t know and that is why he wants Stephen Roberts badly. What happens after that forms the rest of the story.
Presentation: The director has come up with a very ordinary storyline and while the presentation was rich, the narrative was weak. The dialogues were pale, the script was not tight and the screenplay was flimsy. Background score was good but songs were bad. Cinematography was efficient. Editing was disappointing. Costumes were trendy and stylish while the art department was effective. Prabhas carried out his role with elan and he does his best to shoulder the film. Tamanna looks more sexy and glamorous than beautiful. Deeksha Seth was good and she made her presence felt though her role was brief. Mukesh Rishi was effective but his potential was not used. Krishnamraju disappoints. Pradeep Rawat was usual. Brahmanandam and Kovai Sarala were amateur. Ali brought few smiles. Supreeth came as a surprise. The others had no scope.
Conclusion: The film came in with a lot of hype and the reason for that is, Prabhas is coming after a long gap and the hype was high about the action sequences and fights. While the first half goes in a dull manner with elements of romance, some action and songs, the interval bang was very good. But the second half dips and gets into the sentiment and melodrama mode. The length of the film was a major setback. At the box office, the film will have good openings and it could appeal to the B, C center audience to an extent but given its budget getting a hit mark is very difficult.
Bharatstudent verdict: Nowhere near the hype, just watch it for Prabhas
