Daruvu Review
Behind the Movie Daruvu:
Hero Raviteja in poor form with back to back flops has high
expectations on this flick directed by Siva. With Tapsee’s glamour to
woo the masses, Brahmi’s character getting good response, let us see how
far Raviteja succeeded with this ‘Daruvu’?
In the Movie Daruvu:
As per the core plot, Senior Yama (Kaikala Satyanarayana) handovers the
responsibilities of Yama Lokam to his son Junior Yama (Prabhu) while
Chitragupta (MS Narayana) retains his chair. Coming to Bhulokam, here is
Bullet Raja (Raviteja) and his friend Khaja (Venenla Kishore) forming a
tapori batch. Raja falls in love with Swetha (Tapsee), a student at
Dance Master Vidya Balan (Brahmanandam). Catching Vidya Balan in a trap,
Raja becomes Natyacharudu continuing to irritate Swetha. On the other
side, local goon Harbor Babu (Sushant Singh) also eyes on Swetha which
incidentally leads to conflict between Babu and Raja.
Exactly at the right time when Swetha
gets attracted towards Raja, due to a deliberate error by Chitragupta in
Yama Lokam, Raja gets killed in the hands of Babu. The error is simple;
Raja hasn’t lived his full life and he is mistakenly parceled. Having
known this fact, Raja creates chaos in Yama Lokam. This makes Lord Yama
send Raja back to Earth by making Raja’s soul enter into the body of
corrupt Andhra Pradesh Home Minister Rajendra (Raviteja), son of
Parvatamma (Jayasudha). How did Raja tackle the social issues, how he
worked for welfare of common man, how did he punish the corrupt
businessmen Santaram (Sayaji Shinde), Balaram (Avinash), Spiritual Guru
Pavitra (Raghu Babu) and goon Harbor Babu forms the rest of movie.
Values of the Movie Daruvu:
The biggest advantages of this mass entertainer are the superb energy
levels of Raviteja and rapid paced narration from director Siva. In
fact, story compiled by Siva and Adi Narayana has no originality and is a
mixed bag of previous hit films with Yama Lokam backdrop. It’s the
tight screenplay which has done the trick. Anil Ravipudi’s dialogues too
have done their part in elevating the amusement of audience.
Cinematography by Vetri was apt to the treatment and flashy. Goutham
Raju’s editing needs special applause for the lightening speed in this
film. ‘Aththili Chira Bara Mass Raja…’ is one catchy tune from music
director Vijay Antony while background score was gripping. Visual
graphics are of normal quality and Production values of Burugupalli
Sivaramakrishna are high.
Performance wise, this role is just a
cake walk for Raviteja who showed enormous consistency in energy levels
through out the film. His popular mannerisms have come out very good.
Raviteja excelled equally in emotionally connecting scenes with mother
Jayasudha too. As usual, Tapsee looked ultra glamorous with shining
skin. Her chemistry with Ravi was authentic. Next to speak about is
comedy by Brahmi as Vidya Balan which exceeded some limits but overall
hilarious. Prabhu and MS Narayana formed the popular pair of Yama &
Chitragupta while LB Sriram as Narada was a part of some ugly mass
comedy. Jayasudha was decent while the villainy of Sayaji, Avinash and
Raghu Babu was distinctive. Sushant Singh is just okay. .
Out of the Movie Daruvu:
In a single line, Raviteja strikes back with enormous vigor to offer
you his natural flair in ‘Daruvu.’ This can’t be called a simple ‘Mass’
film. Its apt to call ‘Daruvu’ as ‘Oora Mass’ or ‘Pichcha Mass.’
Raviteja has unleashed himself after a long time to show his immaculate
timing in bombarding mass elements well supplemented by Brahmanandam in
first half and Siva’s script in second half.
Director Siva has taken enough
precautions and did not to let down the momentum at any point of time.
Of course, second half is far entertaining than a successful first half.
While first half is used to establish the plot, second half served the
purpose. For audience, who love to just relax and enjoy a laughter riot
without questioning on logics, ‘Daruvu’ can be the best option for
weekend. It sails with illuminating speed although story line is
familiarly thin.
Commercially, ‘Daruvu’ is a film which
would be liked more by masses. Definitely, there are high chances of
Raviteja to score a decent hit this time irrespective of ‘Gabbar Singh’
sitting strong in opposition. Let us wait for clear result in coming
days.
Cinejosh Verdict of the Movie Daruvu: A Full Length-Time Pass-High Energetic-Oora Mass Entertainer.
