Watched Panjaa today@INOX, ICON Mall
After waiting for so long for the release of the movie and the hype created by the Panjaa team generated lot of curiosity and zeal to watch this movie. Finally, got the ticket for morning show. In fact…there was no day that passed without listening to Panjaa songs. They were a runaway hit from Day 1.
Coming to the movie, the movie takes off with the plot to kill Jackie Shroff which continues to show the intro of his loyal assistant Jai (Pawan Kalyan). The storyline ain’t that great and it is regular stuff which Pawan has already done in his earlier movie Balu. The rest of the story is how he gets departed from his Boss and the consequences after that.
Well, straight to the point...I feel that the movie is Average (Fans will like it). The Concept isn’t fresh, but the Director has a very stylish taking skills. The narration is slow at many times. We can clearly say that Vishnuvardhan has studied Pawan Kalyan’s earlier movies and including all the Positives of his earlier flicks and made sure to include then in Panjaa.
Highlights:
- Pawan Kalyan.
- Introduction of Power Star.
- Cinematography by P.S.Vinod is real good.
- Stylish taking of Director Vishnuvardhan.
- Use of RED Camera for a few scenes is good and this technique was very useful for narration and brought look to the narration.
- DI of the film is outstanding and is a Visual treat for the audience.
- Best title sequence in recent Telugu movies (Pumps up the mood for audience, right from Frame 1).
- Paparayudu song and Title song are the high lights of the movie.
- Anjali Lavania legs :P & Sarah Jain’s Smile (at times)
- Anjali Lavania has a short role but did her role justice.
- Adavi Seshu has given a tremendous performance and has done justice to his role.
- Few dialogues are very apt for Pawan Kalyan’s character and depicts his real nature outside.(Abburi Ravi has already stated this earlier in the audio function.)
Lowlights:
- Slow narration most of the times.
- Fights are more in number – but fans do expect fights in a power star flick.
- Less humor quotient, though it picks up when Bramhanandam comes in to play.
- Sarah Jain is too lean. As I said earlier – Papa bagaa tinali...in order to get some meaty roles in Telugu…need to add some meat to her (kidding).
- Anjali Lavania has a short role. She isn’t a heroine material for Telugu audience.
- The title song was placed at the end before rolling titles which I feel is a big blunder for the movie. The makers do know that this is the main song which made the Audio a chart buster.
Well coming to the rating, it is 3.215/5 – as a Fan of Pawan Kalyan &
3/5 – as a Regular Movie lover. (This is my personal opinion on this particular movie - U watch the movie and decide for yourself).
