Janatha Garage Movie Review


With Biggies disappointing this Summer.. All eyes are now on one of the most awaiting movies this year “Janatha Garage” Both NTR and the director Koratala Siva gave two back to back hits.. So expectations are sky high on this JG where Malayalam superstar Mohanlal played a prominent role.
Just the Plot : Satyam(Mohanlal) comes to city from a small village to open a mechanic shop “Janatha Garage”. He realizes the need for support for people and he and his loyal will stand against all ills of society.. Now whats the connection between the Environmental student Anand(NTR) and his journey towards the Janatha Garage forms the crux of the movie.

NTR has ripened as real actor.. It is very surprising transformation from his last two movies Temper and Naannaku Prematho.. he is not asking his directors to have forcible commercial elements .. but is more inclined to story based concept movies.. It makes him closer to all sections of audiences very much. He has given subtle act and adds a completely different role of environment student to his portfolio and stands tall beside National awardee Mohanlal himself.

Mohanlal.. we will realize why he is such a great actor.. because he never even acts or seems like acting.. he just lives on the screen.. He is not loud and plays the prominent role with no noise and you see him as only “satyam” on screen.

Samantha is cute as usual but is only limited to first half. Nithya menon surprisingly gets better portion.. but all the glamour is snatched by Kajal in her item number.. Errrr… sorry Special appearance in “Pakka Local”
Devayani, SaiKumar, Brahmaji, Ajay, Benarjee, Suresh, Sitara, Sachin Kelkar and Unni Mukundan all are very good in the movie .

Siva Koratala balances the Social message with the Commercial aspects yet again after Srimanthudu.. He conveys the responsibility towards the nature via NTR and he delivers the message of helping the fellow human being in need via Mohanlal’s character. He then brings both the actors together so smoothly and balances their act very effectively on screen.. A lot of scenes portray his writing skills like Rajeev kanakalas government office episode, family re-uniting episode and few scenes on Saikumar.

DSP songs are good on screen with effective lyrics from Ramajogayya sastri garu, be it “Pranaamam” to nature or chilling “Rock on Bro” or Jai ho Janatha.. or Massy “Pakka Local”.

Only drawback is.. missing entertainment in terms of loud comedy which is playing major part in lot of hit movies..

Koratala consistently maintains single tone and do not give chance to that hair raising moments or punch dialogues. Janatha Garage strictly sticks to its concept and Action episodes are nicely placed in between.

So Don’t expect the loud entertainment and do watch Janatha Garage for it being honest and good film .

70/100
