Storyline

Lakshmi (Revathi) leaves crores of property for whom she loved (Posani Krishna Murali), but soon she realizes that her husband is a greedy and selfish Loafer. While she hopes to get separated from him along with her son, he takes away the young son (Varun Tej) and moves away to Jodhpur. The greedy father up brings him as a pick-pocketer, making him believe that his mother is dead. What happens when the son finds out his mother is alive, and how will his mother react to him. Where does Parijatham (Disha Patani) fit in the setup forms Loafer story.

Artists Performances

Varun Tej after impressing classy audiences with Kanche, pleases masses this time in an out and out mass role in Loafer. He has a good screen-presence and his dialogue diction and modulation were too good. Varu Tej shows great ease in uttering Puri mark one-liners while he needs to work on grace in his dances.

Disha Patani makes a confident debut, and she looked hot in the movie. She performed well in the limited-scope role.

Revathi is the other major asset and stands out from the rest while Posani’s characterization and acting are loud.  Saptagiri, Ali are wasted in poor roles. Mukeh Rishi is okay in a full-length villain role, while rest is adequate.

Technicians Role

Cinematography by PG Vinda is attractive and colourful, while Sunil Kashyap’s music is below average and so is the BGM. Suvvi Suvvalamma song is the best of lot. Puri impresses with his catchy one-liners, but he once again shows his mediocre skill in direction department. Screenplay is inconsistent and nothing special, while the story-line too is routine. Production values are just okay.  

Analysis

Loafer storyline is interlaced with mother-son sentiment, and is not new to Telugu audiences. Puri Jagannadh once again pens similar kind-of script and similar hero-characterizations with lots of heroism and elevation scenes. Varun Tej looks refreshing and delivers his best for the role, but it’s the screenplay that is unexciting.

The first half of the film is slow-paced with only Varun Tej being the highlight, while the interval bang reminds us of Puri’s Pokiri film. Like all his earlier films, Puri Jagan blends the commercial elements, with an emotional plot. Varun Tej-Revathi scenes are the major asset for otherwise predictable second half. Forced comedy scenes and not-so pleasing songs, along with routine taking are the minus points of Loafer.

Overall, Loafer is a routine commercial entertainer, which is neither Puri Jaganadh’s best nor his worst. Varun Tej and Revathi saved the film to an extent.

Finally

Loafer- Routine Puri Jagannadh with a different Varun Tej!

RATING:2.75/5
