Analysis:
I don't understand what I could really write about this film. This film is like almost every cop movie you have seen from the 2000s and 2010s ranging from Vikramarkudu to Singham to even Krack. However, this film does take a different route at the start of the film. Now director Linguswamy since 2012 I would say hasn't had a good streak but let's see what this film has to offer for us.
This film starts with a song introduction, which isn't bad at all since the Colours Song is shown pretty decently. We immediately move to Kurnool and from here on we start to establish each and every character and the flashback that is given to Aadhi's character ends up being effective. However, from here on barring a few scenes the movie runs through some of the most average love track scenes and confrontation scenes. However from the pre-interval till the interval "bang" it flows pretty well but then again we obviously had a really horrible selection of a background score for this part especially the "He's a Warriorr" bits which just end up being so irritating. Nonetheless, Ram kills it in this portion of the film.
The start of the second half actually progresses very well for a solid 15-20 minutes but yet then again we start experiencing bad writing and lag scenes. In these portions of the second half, both the Bullet Song and Whistle Song feel forced just to cover up the lag in the second half. What is even worse is DSP's score in this entire portion. It is just so irritating at times to keep hearing the same stuff over and over again. Even in this second half, you can clearly tell that scenes from the Tamil version were used here leading to sync issues in a lot of places. However, a redeeming portion in this second half was the entire Krithi Shetty kidnap scene but even then it was too late to save this film from its fate. The climax is just plain awful with it just not even making sense or generating any excitement from what is there.
To finish, the cinematography by Sujith is decent with the same going for Naveen Nooli's editing. But man DSP even after giving a decent album fails to impress with his background score which ends up not elevating some scenes to the level it should. Overall, this film is a one-time watch and if you have nothing to do then you can give it a try.
