Artists Performances

Bala Krishna delivers a power-packed performance, though he has tried his best to look fit and young on screen for the role of Chandu. He is at his ease as Chandrasekhar Dharma and the role is tailor made for him. He entertained with his style of powerful punch dialogues, dances and in action sequences.

Sonal Chauhan provides glamour treat and she is limited to a small role.

Anjali is apt in her role and she shares good chemistry with Bala Krishna.

Veteran actress Rathi Agnihotri deserves special mention for her powerful act. Posani carries his role with ease while 30 years Prudhvi and Shakalaka Shankar tried to provide comic relief. Suman leaves his impact.

Others like Nasser, Shiyaji Shinde, Kabir Khan, Aksha were okay in their respective significant roles.

Technicians Role

S S Thaman’s musical scores are impressive and the BGM by Chinna is elevating.

Shyam K Naidu’s camera work is notable as the locations in the songs are eye-catchy.

Art Work is neat, while dialogues are penned keeping Bala Krishna and his mass fan base in mind.

The punch dialogues go well with masses. Editing is okay.

Sriwaas scores as director though he played safe with formulaic entertainer.

Production values are rich.

Analysis

Dictator has simplest storyline and a routine formulaic format screenplay, packed with commercial elements to woo the masses and routine film lovers. The casting is perfect and Bala Krishna carries off the role with ease and perfection. His mass dialogues, fights and dances are a treat for all his fans.

However, Dictator is very routine and quite predictable skipping out the possible logics. The team has planned to play safe packing it with massy stuff in a routine format. But the film deserves better characterizations, powerful antagonist and a taut screenplay.

The first half is okay with Bala Krishna in retrained role, raising curiosity on the flashback episodes and his true identity, but the second half goes on predictable dragging mode and Bala Krishna is the only saving grace. The songs too could’ve been paced well. 

All in all, Dictator will please mass and routine commercial movie lovers, and for those who are looking for freshness in scripts, skip it.
