Behind the Screens:

Puri Jagannadh who is known for bringing out a different variation in his heroes is introducing a newcomer, Ishan with Rogue. The youngster, son of Senior Producer, brother of producer CR Manohar who produced mahatma earlier in Tollywood.

Now hero is looking for a big hit with his first movie. The movie is equally important to Puri who is without a proper success for a very long time. Film releasing with a tag - Maro chanti gadi prema gada. Let us see how the movie fared with the audience.

Story line:

Chanti (Ishan) is in love with Anjali (Angela), sister of Police Commissioner. But then, the commissioner arranged a match with IPS Officer (Subbaraju) for her. When the engagement arrangements are on, Chanti goes there and creates havoc. In the process, he hits a constable whose legs get paralyzed and Chanti gets two years jail. When he is out, he realizes Anjali cheated her and Chanti develops an aversion to girls. Later, he knows that the constable’s family is in trouble and starts helping them. The Constable’s sister (Mannara Chopra) falls flat for Chanti. What happens next forms the rest of the story.

Performances:

Ishan makes an interesting debut in the film. His mass looks and body language are good. Angela is restricted to glamor show while Mannara Chopra is okay in her limited role. Thakur Anoop Singh who played a baddie in Singham-3 and Winner is shown as a Psycho. He is good in a villainy as well as comedy scenes. Others like Ali, Posani, Subbaraju and Tulasi are okay in their roles.

Analysis:

Director Puri Jagannadh has become a routine director nowadays and he is struggling to come out of the next. Rogue is another such attempt. Reckless Hero Characterization, Glamourous Heroines, Villainy with Comic Touch, Ali Comedy Track and Bangkok Beaches are the usual things in Puri films in the recent times. Puri’s dialogues were impressive but the story, screenplay, and direction are routine. Once again he is more focused about good dialogues and heroism. He succeeded in both of them. But then, the template kind of story will test the patience of the audience. 

Technical Values:

Music director Sunil Kashyap’s Songs are just okay while the background score is good in parts. Camera work by Mukesh is good and he showed beautiful locations. Editor had a chance to trim few scenes. Dialogues by Puri Jagan are good as usual but few are underwritten. The Production Values of Tanvi Films are Good.

Thumbs up: 

- Dialogues and Herosim

Thumbs Down:

- Routine story

- Second half

- Songs

- Screenpaly

Final verdict:

Rouge is yet another Routine Template Film from Puri Jagan.

The first half of the film is okay but things go totally changed in the second half. It runs without any twists and turns making the audience wait for the end. The climax is also routine.
