Nagarjuna establishes his nexus with the underworld and arrests him. Pansari comes clean of the charges as the prime witness dies. The SIT gets dissolved as it fails to establish the charges and Nagarjuna is inducted in crime branch. Later, Pansari, himself turns into don in guise , indiscriminately kills people and continues to be the cop. To stop killing the government forms a team under Pansari\u2019s supervistion. He wontedly takes Nagarjuna into his team. The rest of the story moves around Nagarjuana\u2019s efforts to prove Pansari is the culprit.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Treatment: Kid as Soft Target<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>A sincere cop, whose wife is killed in bomb blast, is left with a daughter to care for and officer\u2019s job to live on. As the villain finds the little girl as his soft target, the chases cause tension. RGB tries this tension as the gluing element to keep the audience to stick to their seats. His effort doesn\u2019t bear fruits. This turns out to be counter- productive as the tension is in no way connected to the plot.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Screen play: Only in First Half<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Perpahs, this could be the only reason, that the boredom is taken away at least in the first half of the movie. Undoubtedly screen play is brisk in the first half<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Lead Role : Nagarjuna has little to Play<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Nagarjuna, who looks handsome and fit, tries to perform his part. But the heros\u2019 role is not fully evolved in the movie. The entire movie is villain-centric.\u00a0 But tragically, the artiste selected for this role couldn\u2019t deliver anything, except confining to one mock-serious expression.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Others in Cast: Myra Sareen fails as Seductress<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Mrya Sareen, whe herself is a cop too and a divorcee, tries to enchant Nagarjuna\u00a0 and seduct him. She has confused looks that fall between a lover and a seductress.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Dialogues: Routine , Redundant<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Most of the dialogues are routine and redundant.\u00a0 Even the characters with idiosyncrasies, such as Bhajarangi, don\u2019t have anything to speak differently.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Cinematography: No RGV Mark<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>RGV\u2019s mark of visualisation is less felt in the movie. No scene gets registered\u00a0 barring the illuminated look of Mumbai City.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Music: No Impact<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Music doesn\u2019t give any heartthrob excepting the arrest scene of Pansari by Nagarjuna.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Bottom line: <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>No one will come with the feel of watching a full movie. The second half delivers nothing. \u00a0The much-acclaimed Nag-RGV combination\u00a0 of Siva or Govinda Govinda is not at all felt.<\/p>\n<h4>-Satish Chandar<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0QUICK SCAN Rating: 2.25\/5 First Impression: It\u2019s a RGV\u00a0 plot which has nothing to do with story.
