Behind the Screens:
From the starting day when we hear this Balakrishna and Puri Jagannath combo announced, there is so much of curiosity about the project. First look posters, teaser and trailer boosted the expectations very much. Let us see how the movie was??
Story-line:
Theda Singh (Balakrishna) came to hyderabad from Tihar Jail, who is brave and ruthless. He is deployed to Portugal by a Senior RAW Officer (Kabir Bedi) to nab Bab Marley (Vikramjeet Virk), a mafia don who creates trouble for India sitting there. Rest of the story is if Theda Singh is successful in the mission and how.
Performances:
Bala Krishna seen as a live wire through out the film which is a delight for his fans. His manerisms, body language and dialogue delivery are in typical Puri Jagannadh's style. His comic expressions are good. He is seen in a new avatar as Theda Singh.
There are three heroines in the film and Shriya gets the important role.The chemistry between Balayya and Shriya worked out. Muskaan Sethi is limited to a song and very few scenes. Kyra Dutt is seen in the item song. Ali appears in a very small role and he wasted. Kabir Bedi came up with an impressive performance. Vikramjeet Virk is just okay in negative role. Rest of characters did their job well.
Analysis:
Puri Jagannadh is successful in redesigning Balayya’s Character. We can see a new Balayya in the film. Puri succeeded in giving a good characterization to the hero role but failed to handle the story and screenplay well. Even the dialogues do not work totally. His dialogues worked only in parts which were showed in trailer. Portugal Action Sequence is impressive. The story, however, is routine Mafia story used by Puri in several films and the screenplay also runs on predictable lines.
Technical Values:
Music by Anoop Rubens is good. 'Mama ek peg la...' song sung by balayya will excite the fans. Cinematography by Mukesh G is good. Editing by Junaid is sharp and would better if editor took special care on second half. Production Values by Bhavya creations are okay.
Thumbs Up:
- Balayya's new avatar
- Few Dialogues
Thumbs down:
- Routine mafia story
- Predictable narration
- Climax
Final Verdict:
The first half is good but the second half drags with too much of lag. Highlight is Balayya’s makeover.
Paisa Vasool will be enjoyable for fans but may not appeal as such to the normal audience.
Bottom-line: Only for fans, Outers not allowed.
