"V" telugu movie review.

 


                   Hi Everyone! Today we are going to talk about "V" ..!  The story itself feels about watered version of FBI manhunt operation , where you are expected to emathise with the killer. Why ..? Because it is a Telugu film at all, and if a top star is portrayed as an anti-hero, he cannot be a diabolical person at any cost.Telugu industry has given us some great crime thrillers to us in the recent years HIT, Agent Sai Srinivasa Athreya, Evaru are all examples for it Because of that the recent amazon prime release "V" starring Nani and Sudheer Babu had created a big hype On top of that, the build up towards Nani's 25th movie added to it! Through movies like Eega , MCA Nani is quite well known in Kerala In addition, through movies like Jersey and Gentleman he have created a small growing fanbase in Kerala Maybe if a Telugu actor had to shift his style and base to suit Kerala "Natural Star" Nani would be the one who finds it most easy .

              The cinema was promoted as a full on Mass Masala - Crime Thriller. After watching the movie the major drawback I felt was , also the same While focussing on being a Mass masala. It seems as if somehow it forgot to be a crime thriller cultural reference ahead, Lost in translation :) instead of saying "The sambar is boiling for no reason" despite adding loads of mass and masala it's apt to say that old reused story thread , didn't let the sambar boil well enough!.

Music and background score is good especially songs like Manasu mari and Vasthunna Vachestunna gonna heal your ears , probably damaged due to T-series remixes..

                 I think it's impossible to review this film with 0 spoilers So, without affecting much of the viewing experience I'll go ahead by making small reveals! A young and bold police officer He becomes famous after stoping a riot meanwhile another police officer gets killed. The murderer challenges our famous police officer follow up killings keep happening. A cat and mouse play between police and vilian that's the plot . Didn't you find it boring listening to it? A variety plot never tried before!  As if the director wanted a Vikram Vedha in Telugu and since he couldn't he to his revenge with this! The entire drama reveals around the battle of egos between these two characters., and who is going to emerge as the winner. So far so good . The movie opens to a fight scene On seeing Sudheer Babus's character's level and the way the story goes the director might have felt that there won't be another window for the body show So that was done and dusted at the beginning itself!

Nani is the life and soul of the film and it is his negative act that lifts the spirits of the film. Nani does an action avatar for the first time and he is pretty good. The way he uses his unique dialogue delivery to create a negative effect is amazing. Nani has an amazing screen presence and he uses his swag in the best way possible in the film. One can say that his new avatar is the major plus of the film.Sudheer Babu is a perfect fit in his cop’s role and showcases what he is capable of. He is the hero of the film and takes on Nani in full force. Be it his dances, emotions, or dialogue delivery, Sudheer Babu is good.Nivetha Thomas is okay and looks glamorous in the film. She shares decent chemistry with Sudheer Babu. Aditi Rao comes in the key second part and makes her presence felt. The action sequences or you can say the murders showed are grippingly executed in the first half and raise the curiosity levels.

                 There is no shortage for "Mass" from the get go! After the first flying fight scene apart from boosting Sudheer Babu's character to the sky there is nothing much to complain here Some normal scenes and Nivetha Thomas' intro sped that time window quickly From there we go straight to the first murder, Nani's Intro Oh I forgot to mention the double meaning dance number in between that So, Nani's Intro Stark Midnight! Pitch black, Heavy smoke! through that, Nani enters wearing a cooling glass! From there it begins! feels like watching HIT, 5aam Pathira and Vikram Vedha all together! Let's see the movies flow as per the timeline! A police he becomes famous Gets a random girlfriend oh! don't forget that she's a crime specialist.  Next, Villain's intro Villain Kills Villain calls police Police chases again villain kills calls police police. chases yet again Villain kills calls police police chases going straight into flashback! again..... villain kills calls police police chases.... atlast! Climax twist!

The second half is where the film goes for a toss. Once it goes back into the flashback mode, things become very slow, and routine scenes are showcased at a stretch. One can easily guess that Nani is doing all this with a motto and because of this, his characterization looks weak. Both the love tracks of Nani and Sudheer Babu are very dull and executed in a pale manner.All those who think there will be solid twists will be mistaken as the story is a routine revenge drama with a straight forward and predictable plot. Also, the starting of the film is a bit slow as the makers waste too much time to get into the actual story.The biggest drawback is the climax of the film. After all the hype, one feels that there will be a big twist but sadly that does not happen and the film is ended on a silly note. There should have been a proper masala ending and with good scope to do that, the director does not make use of it and ends the film just like that which disappoints the audience.

 Though things are like that Nani's performance and good camera work helped me watch it without feeling too bored Individual performances of actors were good! But the screenplay was very weak old telugu film references Nani's self references even as far as references from Game of thrones. But why?!! Modern way of code decoding took me back to old malayalam movie Tiger! (Vaapachi's Legacy!) In a summary! flying fights shiny body Variety killings cliche' Story 2 good songs climax twist all make "V" an average generic mass flick You'll know what "V" is once you watch the movie! 

So, for this Lockdown time amazone prime OTT release starring Nani and Sudheer Babu .The movie review that's all the South movie lovers waiting… I know! there are few peoples dares to watch original telugu version with engligh subtitles offcourse. But believe me its  got you best experience when you watch it with actual Audio because dubbing kills the original aura/ feel of the film.
