Wait is over for Mega fans. Mega Power Star Ram Charan’s ‘Nayak’ was released all over the world in record number of theaters. The expectations have skyrocketed with Ram Charan teaming up with V V Vinayak who gave a super hit film like ‘Tagore’ with Chiranjeeevi. Let’s see how far the movie reached the expectations of the Mega fans.
Story
Cherry (Ram Charan), a software engineer, traps Madhu (Kajal) and lives happily in Hyderabad along with his bachelor uncle Jilebi (Brahmanandam).
CBI officer Ashish Vidyarthi who is investigating the murder case of Taxi Bhai in Kolkata and DGP murder in Hyderabad suspects Cherry’s hand in those murders. When the CBI officer follows to Haridwar to arrest Cherry, sees Nayak (Ram Charan) attacking Rawat (Pradeep Rawat) during Khumba Mela.
CBI officer then arrests Nayak leaving Cherry. Why Nayak is on a killing spree and how Cherry helps Nayak to succeed in his mission forms the crux of the story.
Performance
Ram Charan did a tremendous job as a soft lover and an angry young man. His dancing skills are superb in first song (Lai la o Lai la...). His dialogue delivery and modulation are excellent in this movie. He did justice to both the roles.
Kajal Agarwal looked glamorous and did well in the first half. Amala Paul is limited to couple of scenes and did not have much to offer. Unfortunately, both the heroines are restricted to songs and dances.
Brahmanandam in the role of a bachelor uncle is at his best as Jilebi. The comedy scenes between Hero, Heroine and Brahmanadam are excellent. Other attraction for the movie is comedy by Jayaprakash Reddy. He gave a swell performance and his dialogues are hilarious. M. S. Naarayana is OK as lip reading specialist in CBI office. Posani Krishna Murali brings laughter in the intense second half.
Pradeep Rawat, Dev Gill, Ashish Vidyarthi did their bit. Kota, Sudha, Surekha Vani appear in limited roles. Rajeev Kanakala appears in an inspiring role. Venu Madhav, Raghu Babu, Fish Venkat tries to add comedy.
Technical
Director V V Vinayak, who is known for giving a commercial treatment to social subject, has chosen a routine story which has nothing new to offer. He chose a simple story and weaved an entertaining screenplay around it. Akula Shiva dialogues are plus to the movie. Editing by Goutam Raju is good.
Thaman background score is good. Four of six songs are good which includes ‘Shubhalekha Raasukunna’. Chota K Naaidu cinematography is asset to the movie.
Choreography and action scenes are composed well. Production values are high.
Analysis
First half of the movie runs on lighter vein with comedy and songs dominates the proceedings. Second half is intense and turns violent with the main story unwrapping. V V Vinayak concentrated more on the presentation of the movie than the subject. Director took enough precaution to add comedy even in the serious second half with the ‘chocolate’ episode. The story and screenplay is predictable after the interesting interval bang. The big drawback of the movie is climax which is like a 80s plot villain calling hero to a secluded place to finish off where hero gets upper hand.
Director tried to please Pawan Kalyan fans with couple of scenes. First one, Ram Charan saying with Rahul Dev ‘I use your name to get the tickets for Pawan Kalyan Movie’ and Ram Charan seeing ‘Gabbar Singh’ movie in Kolkata. Writer also used the famous Mohan Babu dialogue ‘Fish and Fisherman’ from ‘Pedarayudu’.
When it comes to song, ‘Shubhalekha Raasukunna’ is disappointing and not picturised well. May be it is because of the cold weather. Output would have better had the song shot in a set. Item song by Charmee is ordinary. There are not many punch dialogues to elevate the hero.
Final Talk
‘Nayak’ is an entertaining film with loads of comedy and action. The movie would have been even better had the director put little extra effort on the content and climax. Finally, the range of success depends on the competition from the future big releases.
