STORY: Chotu (Prabhas) gets kidanapped when he was a child and put into beggar life by a gangster known as Chidambaram (Makrand). He grows up and becomes a local goon who collects commission from Police to catch criminals in the city. In the process he clashes with Johnny Bhai (Sonu Sood), the local mafia leader. At the same time, he falls in love with Sameera (Kangana Ranaut), a guitar teacher and sister of another local goon. Rest of the story is about the lead pair coming together by fighting against the villians….!
PERFORMANCES: PRABHAS is getting repetitive with his slang and dialogue diction. Though he tried to look different and acted with a lot of ease, the role doesn’t give him chance to perform. KANGANA is a perfect mis-fit and lacks the south indian quotient in her looks/appearance. She tried to ooze with lots of skin show, which will not work in her favor. SONU SOOD is very good and looks like improving a lot with every film. BRAHMANANDAM & ALI’s comedy track is better not to talk about. They fail to evoke any laughter. Others like TANIKELLA, POSANI, VENUMADHAV are just ok. Bollywood imports: MAKRAND & MUKUL DEV were wasted.
TECHNICAL: It’s high time for director POORI JAGANNADH to come out of Pokiri & Bangkok mania. The script is so week and his sub-standard screenplay adds to that. Though the dialogues were good at times, the timing was not that great. His obsession with too much of camera jerks irritate us at times. Music by MANISHARMA is good with few catchy numbers. The Micheal Jackson Tribute song is of such a bad taste. Other technicians have tried their best to make up for a poor script.
HIGHLIGHTS: Hero Prabhas’s screen presence, SonuSood & Brahmaji’s conversations, 2 songs and…. that’s it!
PITFALLS: Poor story & screen-play, lack of entertainment, not so great picturization of songs, excessive showcase of violence.
FINAL ANALYSIS: EK NIRANJAN starts on an ok note and goes to interval with some entertaining and engaging episodes. The movie takes a wrong turn post the interval and from there on, it starts testing our patience. It is filled with boring elements written all over and looks like the makers have just made the film for front benchers. Though the film has it’s own merits & high points, it falls flat in the end. We come out of the theatre with a sigh of relief. Poori should start thinking of brand new concepts/characters/back-drops immediately to regain his lost glory.
