Behind the Screens:

Naga Chaitanya still in dilemma to impress the viewers with his mass movies. He proved in love and class movies. His Career is disappointing except for very few hits here and there. He is still looking for a solid hit which will put himself into the star league. He has full hopes on his release Yuddham Sharanam. Let us see how the movie was??

Story-line:

Naga Chaitanya is on a mission of searching his missing parents. In the process, he comes to know about some terrible and unfortunate truths involving some big politic names. Rest of the story is all about how he saves his family fighting the baddies.

Performances:

Naga Chaitanya is an apt fit for the character and he performed well. Lavanya Tripathi is okay in limited role. Director under-utilized Srikanth's character with limited screen space. The supporting cast includes big names like Murali Sharma, Rao Ramesh, Revathi and others did their characters well.

Analysis:

David R Nathan wrote the action thriller story and helped in screenplay. While debut director Krishna handled this film badly. Film's content looks very promising but the director failed to deliver in interesting way. He tried to make a mixture of Romance, Action, Thriller and Family Drama but failed to impress the viewers. The writing and narration are disappointing. Director missed the few logics in the film.

Technical Values:

The music composed by Vivek Sagar flows with the narration and the background score is good. The camera work by Niketh is okay and most of the film runs in Night Mode. Editor had chance to trim few scenes in second half. Abburi Ravi's dialogues are not bad but very few are good. Production values of Vaarahi Chalana Chitra are good.

Thumbs up:

- Naga Chaitanya

- Screen play

- First half

Thumbs down:

- Climax

- Srikanth character design

- Second half

Final Verdict: 

Yuddham Sharanam is an action revenge thriller. The first half of the film gives us an okay feel but the second half test the patience of the audience. Climax is not so good. Except for few interesting episodes here and there, there is nothing great in the film.

Behind the screens

Varun Tej who impressed with different genre films and he got disaster with Loafer in 2015 and now he is coming out to score a commercial hit with Mister under the direction of Srinu Vytla. Director lost his charisma with back to back disasters Aagadu and Bruce lee films. Let us see what impact the duo made with mister film

Story-Line:

Chai (Varun Tej), a happy going guy who lives in Spain with his family. He loves Meera (Hebah Patel) in his first sight when she comes to Spain on a five-day holiday visit. However as he was about to express his love, she shocks him saying that she is already in love with Siddharth (Prince). After finishing her trip, she will back to India. He gets a call from Meera seeking his help. Chai flies to India to help her out. Chai’s parents request him to meet even his loving grandfather Pichaiah Naidu (Nassar) whom for some reason Chai hates him the most. Chai’s life takes another romantic turn when he comes into contact with a village bubbly girl Chandramukhi (Lavanya Tripathi). Want to know what happens next, then see Mister in theaters.

Performances:

Varun Tej performed well as a youngster who enjoys life and cares for his family. His body language, emotions and expressions are good. He improved in comedy timing. His dances and fights are okay. Hebah Patel is okay in her role. She toned down her glamor content compared to her earlier films. Lavanya Tripathi attracted with her looks. She got the limited screen presence. Couple of comedy scenes involving Srinivas Reddy, Prudhvi, Raghu Babu, Satyam Rajesh is good in the first half. Others like  Nikitin Dheer, Prince, Harish Uthaman, Ravi Prakash, Anand, Easwari Rao, Nassar, Chandra Mohan, Tejaswi, Srinivas Reddy performed according to their roles.

Analysis:

Srinu Vytla who is known for his out and out mass hilarious entertainers of late lost his success sheen. After a gap, Srinu Vytla came with Mister. He came with a routine story with no real twists and turns.He failed with his screenplay and direction in the second half. Comedy scenes involving Varun Tej, Satyam Rajesh, Hebah Patel, Raghu Babu came out well.

Technical values:

Mickey J Meyer’s music is not bad. None of the songs attracted. Few songs picturization well. Most of the songs acted as speed breakers to story narration. Background score failed to elevate the film. KV.Guhan's camera work is simply superb and main highlight to the film. He showed the beautiful locations of Spain, Europe and Karnataka. Editing by MR.Varma could have been better and he had a chance to trim 20-25 minutes of the film especially many scenes in the second half. Fights are composed well. Dialogues are good. Production values are good.

Thumbs Up:

- Camera work

- Production values

Thumbs Down:

- Second Half

- Dragged narration

- Unwanted scenes

- Editing

- Direction

- Routine story

Final Verdict:

Mister is a routine commercial disaster film from Director Sreenu Vaitla. 

First half of the story is entertaining to some extent and ends by testing the patience with pre-interval scenes. Second half also testing the patience with unwanted subplots. Whole Second half went for a toss as people couldn’t understand what Srinu Vytla wanted to tell. 

Watch this movie at your own risk.
