plan it? What happened to Nethra forms the rest of Shourya story
Performances
After Nenu Meeku Telusa and
Vedam, Manchu Manoj opts for another
experimental and subdued role, and he is convincing in his characterization. He
is brilliant in the pre-interval bang.
Regina Cassandra looks beautiful in traditional role, and she plays
her limited part quite well.
Prakash Raj is perfect in the role of investigation officer.
Prabhas Srinu succeeds in comic role.
Sayaji Shinde, Nagineedu and Subbaraju
are justifying in their roles. Others are adequate.
Technicians Role
Vedha’s musical scores are decent
but hinder the flow. Cinematography is appealing. BGM is good and goes with the
flow.
Dasarath’s direction is mediocre
and so is the Gopu Kishore’s screenplay, which could have been taut and
gripping.
Editing is below par and
dialogues are nothing to boast of.
Production values are standard.
Analysis
Dasarath who is known for family
entertainers, has tried out a distinct genre crime-thriller plot interlaced
with love story with Shourya. The plotline is different and the twists and
turns are interesting, but the execution is bad.
The first half of the movie
proceeds at a snail pace, even dragging than a TV serial. The execution falls
flat and except for a couple of scenes, the first half is boring. It’s only
before interval, the happenings gets interesting and the second half has good
number of twists and turns that are dealt well. But then the climax yet again
is regular and the screenplay has some loopholes.
The run time is crisp, but had
the director focused on taut screenplay and engaging execution, Shourya could
have been an appealing thriller. But Shourya falls short of expectations due to
half-baked attempt by makers.
Finally
Shourya- Thrilling storyline
executed not-so thrillingly!
RATING: 2.75/5
