After
'Balupu' movie, Ravi Teja took his time and finally arrived with 'Power'
packed. This film is the directorial debut for writer Ravindra aka
Bobby. The film has Hansika and Regina in the female leads while Kannada
popular producer Rockline Venkatesh also made his way into Tollywood.
Story
Baldev Saha [Ravi Teja] is a corrupt
police officer who is quite daring. However, he ends his life while
trying to catch a criminal Ganguly. On the flipside in Hyderabad, police
inspector Animuthyam [Brahmanandam] brother-In-Law Tirupathi's ultimate
aim is to become a cop. However one day, Home Minister of West Bengal
approaches Tirupathi to find the whereabouts of Ganguly. Tirupathi
accepts, Home Minister's plea and steps in Baldev Saha's shoes.
The real twist is revealed here. Who is
Tirupathi and how is he related to Baldev Saha. Also why Home Minister
approached Tirupathi. All these questions will be answered on the
silverscreen.
Analysis :
This is a routine story but modified
interesting with ample of twists and turns. Director doesn't deviate the
audience from the plot even a minute and dwells good with the subject
too in showing the right content. The first half is good with
entertainment levels and the interval bang will surprise everyone.
However, the second half gets predictable and the climax is not that
impressive.
We can spot director losing grip slowly
on the movie in the second half and climax is filled with comedy
quotient, just to came it entertaining instead ending it with a serious
note. However, director fails to create his own mark, as the movie
marginally appears like Vikramarkudu and Balupu.
Performance :
Ravi Teja's two shades in this film. You
find Mass Maharaja more handsome and stylish in this film. After Puri
Jagannadh, we can say director Bobby showed Ravi Teja more like a proper
hero. And what can we say when Ravi Teja is accompanied with
Brahmanandam. Ravi Teja's comedy timing and body language suits the
character.
Hansika provided some glamour while
Regina appears in the flashback. Regina is nowhere related to the main
plot and Hansika changes the fortunes of Ravi Teja in the film.
Posani is also hilarious. Rest of the
cast, Ajay, Prakash Raj, Subba Raj, Kota Srinivasa Rao and Uttej are
fine and did justice to whatever they were offered.
Final Word: Power is packed with pockets of
entertainment, masala, twists and glamour. Though the second half is bit
slow, never makes you feel bore. You may watch it!
