![]() Prakash Raj is OK, while Shivaji Raja is his usual self. He is convincing in the role of a wronged, aspiring and helpless youngster. Sundeep gets to play an intense character and he shows promise. The hyped guest role of the Mega hero goes for a toss after the initial scenes. It is Pragya Jaiswal (as SDT's lover-cop) who is the main female lead. ![]() Whoever dubbed for her, by the way, adds insult to injury. Imagine her as a lower middle-class girl who looks every bit as that high-class girl who just walked out of the city's best boutique. Much before she fades into oblivion, Regina seeks a kiss from her boy in a half-baked emotional scene. If Alexander is gutsy but not brainy, Rama Rao is inconsistently smart at best and a bumbling moron at worst. In the next scene, there is nothing to feel his emotions sustainably. Rama Rao talks English and walks English rather emotionally, crying standing at the closed gates of the police academy. The tempo drops from that point once and for all. A kingpin can be pathological, but should he be shown to have no rationality, drugged or not? Alexander resolves to end terrorism and that's all. Tanish's character hardly has a sense of purpose. In one counter-intuitive and ultra-pathological scene, trained cops run helter-skelter at the sight of a bomb, while the Home Minister is seen merrily breaking the protocol with all the possible bravery! When you are dealing with a subject as serious as an arms mafia causing blasts, the least you are expected to do is to show that it's not an easy job to execute blasts. By the way, the special song features Shriya Saran, who is thankless and unwelcome. If not for anything, KV deserves kudos for limiting the trail of destruction. It's because such songs exist that Alexander (Sai Dharam) was not allowed by KV to narrate his terrifying flashback visually. There are moments when you thank item songs for a reason. A blast in the city is not proof of failure? Then, you have a scene where Prakash Raj, supposedly a cop with brains, tells the Home Minister (JD Chekravarthy in a forgettable role), who just reprimanded him for a fresh bomb blast, that the cops may be slow but they never fail. The scariest mother-lover girl combo in the town. Melodrama becomes affected melodrama, courtesy Tulasi-Regina duo. ![]() And, of all, the mother is played by Tulasi. In the scene where Rama Rao is to be consoled, mother's quota and the lover girl's quota are separate. What do you call a hero who seems to indulge in sexy songs and child-man comics with the heroine instead of finding the one who shattered his lifetime dream? What is he waiting for? An accidental finale with the one who demolished his career? But that is the least of the film's problems. In all probability, KV conceived the plot line when bombs were ripping apart parts of India in the 2000s. It's difficult to see this hard-sold thing called budget anywhere, except of course in a sultry number or two. But the moment their charming innocence is overdone, it gets on your nerves. KV's characters have had this trait of being over-the-top at times. And the good guys make sure they cry feverishly at the drop of a hat. The villains keep on laughing sadistically all throughout. Just two factors are enough to be a dampener:ġ. ![]() What now happens to Rama Rao's mission? Who is Alexander and why is he missing? What happens to Tanish and his team? That is what the second half is about. In a nocturnal twist, powered by Raja Ravindra's philosophy of policing, Rama Rao turns into a Citizen Vigilante, colorless, ideology-less, casteless, creed-less.īut then, least does he know that he has accidentally come to own the identity of a missing cop - named Alexander (played by Sai Dharam Tej). He, therefore, fails to attend the SI exam. On the D-day, though, Rama Rao hits a roadblock when the debauched son (Tanish in a sadistic role) of the City's Commissioner of Police avenges an old grudge. Jamuna (Regina Cassandra) is his lover girl, dreaming his dream. He wants to become a cop and police the under-policed city, Hyderabad. The town's most emotional underdog Rama Rao (Sundeep Kishan) has but one dream in life. 'Nakshatram', starring Sundeep Kishan as the main lead, hits the screens today.
