Racha Movie Review


It’s been a year and half since our young “Mega Power Star” RamCharan visited the Box-office. And finally he is back at box office to do some “Rachcha”, the title which abbreviates his name “Ra”m “Cha”ran!! He gave Sampath Nandi who made a small film “yemaindi ee vela”, the opportunity to direct him. White beauty Tamanna paired up with Cherry while Super Good films produced the flick.
Let’s dwell more into the film…

Plot(Not much revealer): Betting Raju (Charan)   is good in winning bets cleverly. And once he gets into big challenge with James (Ajmal-Rangam fame) to make rich girl Chaitra (Tamanna) fall in love with himself. Where this challenge leads him to? And how does he come to know about his past where his father was treacherously murdered is all the movie about.

Actors
Ramcharan is seen as easy going chap with lots of guts. With not much depth, this is character that has more fun made his job much simpler. With loads of grace in dance, he makes all the songs worth a repeat especially “dillaku dillaku”. He should excel more in comedy timing, as becomes stiff then. All in all, he moves forward a step ahead handling entire film on his shoulder. Superb job.
Tamanna has good role again and no doubt her charm will prolong the movies run. Look at her dance, she competes with Charan. And see “Vaana Vaana Velluvaaye” she just sets the screen on fire with her hip-hops.
Ajmal has decent but small role. Tamil Actor Partiban plays charan’s father, though brief he leaves impact. Same with Nazar. Mukesh rishi and Kota are good as villains.
Brahmanandam brings some cheers as dance master Rangeela...especially dialogues are funny. So are Ali, Jayaprakashreddy and Krishna Bagwan and of hero’s friend’s gang Srinivas Reddy and Tagubotu Ramesh do their part well. Dev gill of Magadheera is utterly wasted, may be Charan bought him for sentiment.

Ra and Cha of RaCha…!!
Initial 15 minutes into film with Hero’s entry and regular mass song and the slum set up gives you a picture that you are gonna watch regular mass film. So I guess you keep away other sensibilities. And now go to 80’s where rich girl challenges slum boy and then Chiru says “face turning ichuko”. I guess Sampath Nandi wants exactly same atmosphere here. So though there is no serious freshness, first half passes by with interesting challenges Tamanna gives to Charan and then songs that come in between and comedy by Brahmanandam.
Then there is an interval bang revealing some twists connecting the some childhood events shown on first reel when titles rolled. But still we have one hour of fun time in chases and then “Vaana Vaana Velluvaaye” and presence of Ali and finally twists are all revealed to audience leading to regular climax.

Sampath Nandi does the safe job.
“Don’t go for Variety loved by class audience…Don’t break your head with lavish scripts like Magadheera…Just go and touch the masses” I guess this is the job given to the director Sampath Nandi. And he does his job with no hiccups. Though there is scope for lots of revenge and gore, he shifts everything till last half hour and fills the movie with songs, chases and not too heavy fights and few comedy bits with many characters and all good artistes were chosen for those. But Climax as it becomes so routine might disappoint you, but there is no heavy plot there to shine at the end.

Manisharma’s songs are good on screen. All the songs are good on screen...”Dillaku Dillaku” and “Vaana Vaana” are superb. “Oka Paadam” is pleasant. Cherry though injured did decent job for “Singareni undi”. Background score is a big plus elevating lot of scenes. Sameer Reddy’s cinematography is good. Dialogues are crispy and sufficient.  But some dialogues insulting other families should have been avoided as now this becomes a chain reaction.

Overall…
Seems the motive of this film is to be simpler and regular and make Charan dearer to masses.  And in that case this movie partially succeeds in a way where you don’t feel too bored nor do you feel excited after you watch the flick. A decent time pass with good songs, nice cast along with Ram Charan and Tamanna.

Rating
3/5 for it being regular film…but seriously enjoyed it with less expectations
