Summer is getting hotter... and so is the heat at the box-office. This week we have another biggie “Race Gurram” starring stylish star Allu Arjun. And Director Surrender Reddy carries the megaphone. Let’s see how fast it ran...
Plot: The movie is about two brothers Ram and Lakshman... Unlike their names, these brothers always fight over each and every thing. While Ram is sincere police officer, Lakshman who likes to be called Lucky aims to go to USA. The interference of wicked Politician turned Rowdy Sivareddy (Ravi Kishan) in their lives is to be seen on the screen.
Actors:
Blend of Action, comedy loaded with mischievousness is the perfect signature style of Allu Arjun. This time too Allu boy matches to the speed of the role and justifies the title. Dances are moderate this time.He gets his oota padam "Deavudaa" perfectly in all situations.
Sruthi Haasan is lovable as Spandana. She puts on that smile on us without actually smiling or actually with absolutely no spandana for some time in the first half( That’s her role).
Director Surrender Reddy who made Sham, the “Kikk” Sham, once again gives an important role of Ram to Sham. Bhojpuri actor Ravi Kishan is fine. Not a superb export.
Prakashraj gets a chance to do comedy, a slight variation for relief. Posani gets very good one… Good in both ways, in entertaining and carrying forward the movie. Mukesh Rishi is passive. Saloni shines in Telangana dialect.
MS Narayana and hero’s friends’ batch are adequate. Ali is continuity from kikk. And I dare not forget Kill Bill Pandey our Brahmanandam. .. Who comes towards end when all of us just about to forget him or miss him... and he just loads the theatre with loud laughs all at once.
Surrender Reddy back after Kikk
While his debut “Athanokkade” is serious film, Surrender Reddy gained the stand with an Action-comedy Kikk. So Director keeps his strength in mind and plays well with skills he has. Conflict between brothers holds the attention throughout the film. Comedy is added via heroine’s family in first half and laughs just explode with Brahmanandam as Killbill Pandey. Few directors know when this talented Brahmanandam should be called on screen and how to “use” him. And the Tiff between the villain and the hero too is written differently in a “Racy” manner. There is so much in paper and hence we have to sit little more time in theatre.
Vakkantham Vamsi gives decent script and Surrender Reddy exemplifies it perfectly with his screenplay. Thaman gives a good album this time. “Boochaade”, “Sweety”, “Cinema choopista maava” and “Down Down duppa” are chartbusters are ok on screen. My favorite is the duet “Gala Gala” shot in picturesque locations.
Minus
What come towards the climax with the entry of Brahmi is one way extremely fun and other way too and too cinematic. I could complain about the length of the film, especially if it is of course a regular entertainer.
On a whole…
One can see the flashes of Trivikram... Nevertheless Surrender Reddy is back in form. He tells a seemingly predictable tale in full speed screenplay. Decent first half, nice scenes post interval and hilarious and extremely cinematic pre-climax and a wholesome lighter vein entertainer. So you can safely add this to your to-do list if you have leisure weekend. I could even sense a social responsibility as bonus towards the end.
Rating
67/100 Now don’t ask me how you came up with this number... It’s just a number that comes to my mind and I want you to just forget this little score immediately after you see it... ;)
And by the way..Let us congratulate Allu couple for getting promotion as Mom and Dad
