"Nani"
is on full swing for both commercial success and great acclaim for his acting
skills.. And he teamed up with his mentor Mohan Krishna Indraganti who directed
his debut "Asta Chemma".. Sridevi movies banner which delivered all time
classics like "Aditya 369" produced this film.
Plot:
The two heroines of the movie "Aishwarya" and "Catherine"
meet in the plane and they share their individual love stories.
"Nani" is the hero in both of them..
So now the movies latter half has to say.. Whether there are two Nani's
or one Nani.. and whether he is a "Gentleman" or a "Villain"??
"Nani"
has already proved himself as natural star. He is carefully choosing different movies
one after another. I don't say this is his best... but He has done good job in
two different shades.
Both
the girls Surabhi and Niveditha are given good roles. Surabhi has got nice love
track while Niveditha has done splendid job in latter half. Srinivas avasarala
is convincing. Vennela Kishore brings few laughs.
Indraganti
MohanKrishna and Manisharma..
Along
with the production house, It is a good comeback for the director and music
magician. Indraganti has good films like "Grahanam" and "Asta
Chemma". I personally like his "Mayabazaar". First half of the film is pleasant with two
love stories . Kodaikanal episode stands out for the scenic nature that is
captured greatly by PG Vinda. Second half turns into suspense mode where
motivations of the hero are revealed at climax.
This half should have been more thrilling and Climax too was not
stunning but just satisfactory.
Manisharma
is back with the bang with two good duets.. "Chaligaali chooddu" will be
instant favorite. Background score is of course top notch.
Finally..
A
different attempt by Nani and Indraganti garu . A much
tighter second half and more surprising climax would have made this
"Gentleman" a "Great Thriller".. which now can be treated
as just a good effort and a time pass flick.
