Ek Niranjan Review | Ek Niranjan Movie Review

The biggest challenge for a director to make a movie is a budget and to find a big hero. Puri Jagan never makes a film that appears cheap or suffers from lack of funds, he had crossed that hurdle years back and is always giving something that stands up technically well. Hero? Almost every actor's dream is to work with him, and hero's capacity to deliver? Prabhas is not the kind of actor to whom you got teach the ABCs of acting. He has developed his own unique style like Raviteja, has his own brand of comedy so what does the director need to do? All he needs is a pressure or conflict to drive his story forward in a way that will keep the viewer wondering what will happen next.

We don't learn from other people's experience, so we still bring to our screen a heroine who might be genius in her own language but looks just like a porcelain doll. There might be actors who don't know Telugu but still can emote but here Kangana fails miserably, her looks are no where remotely south Indian and she scares you right in the opening scene itself when she comes playing with the guitar. There is the director's favourite place Bangkok wherein he's been shooting for more than 40 days to see what he shot in those 40 days, we waited and waited to see Bangkok and it came post interval..it looked more or less like Mumbai.

The story? Now divide the film into two halves, use the first half for introducing the hero and his contacts and the second half fill it with violence, blood shed and once in a while bring in Ali or Brahmanandam with weird get-ups may be like eunuch or a priest/ascetic for comic relief.
Now the rest of the characters, Posani Krishna Murali barks like usual and he might have in all probability written the dialogues for his own character. Sonu Sood's recession dialogue makes you think actually if husbands have begun sleeping with their wives just because it's recession time. If he stole the show in Super, Arundathi this is one more film that brought out his flair for light-hearted acting. He kept the audience wondering if he still was a hero or a villain. May be Puri will be able to answer it right!

What can Prabhas do? Some stories sound interesting when narrated. There is a scene in which Kangana declares her love and he sinks on the floor red-eyed, sobs like a baby, Prabhas is wowie. His work has been improving with every film but sadly the stories/directors are letting him down.

Now the story is all about why he is not Ek Chotu but Ek Niranjan. He plays the role of a kid who's abducted, grows up yearning for a family and relationships and catches criminals for a living. He keeps catching them till he discovers that one of the criminal is his brother and his love Sameera (Kangana) is another criminal's sister. There is more to it. Lot of bone crunching stunts, a heroine who looks pale in the first half and almost dead in the second half inspires him to finish off the drama. But the story goes on without him finding his family..so it has to be Ek Niranjan, this is strictly for Prabhas's fans.
