Artistes and technicians

Prabhas come up with a good performance and he looked more lively and impressive as Ranga than the serious look of Billa. Anushka was there to show her oomph and glamour which she has done full justice, Namitha also followed the same path. Rehman was usual, Krishnamraju could have been better, Ali was normal, Supreeth was apt, Kelly Dorjee was underutilized. The others did their bit as required. The director has come up with the storyline that is known to audience, his narrative was mediocre but the presentation made up for the flaws. The script was not written with intensity, screenplay was normal, dialogues missed the punch, music was neat and two songs were good, cinematography was above average but there was scope for more. Editing was good, the costumes were remarkable and the locations were visually scenic. Art department and stunts were good.

First half and second half

The film takes off on a rather poor style with not much to look forward to but eventually it picks up in an interesting way. While the first half goes about with the lighter side of romance and some action sequences, the real story begins during the second half and leads to an interesting climax. The pace has been maintained well during the second half.

Report

Though the film has been made on a high budget, the amount of slick and style could have been improved since there was not much in the story or the dialogue department. This happens to be the remake of the Tamil blockbuster ‘Billa’ and it must be said that the Tamil version was excellent. If the makers had focused on coming up with some intense dialogues and polished some scenes, the impact would have been much greater. This is a blockbuster material in truth but it will settle for a decent fare at the box office.

Recommendation

Slick and stylish, can be watched once
