On the planned night, Ravindra Narain (Allu Arjun),a street smart guy, who believes in making quick money gets a lift in Bittu’s car on his way to a bar for IPL betting. Ravi who gets to know his plans teams up with Police Commissioner Raja Manikyam (Rao Ramesh) and helps the cops in catching Bittu and killing Lala. Bittu escapes the next day with revenge on Ravi and the latter moves to Hyderabad getting into witness protection program. While living with ACP Sitaram (Rajendra Prasad) family, he falls for Madhu(Ileana). What happens next forms the rest is to be watched on big-screens.
Performances:
Allu Arjun is high on energy and his costumes are cool and dances are as usually best. He has a strong screen presence and pleases his fans with his comic timing. Allu Arjun’s punch dialogues with Rajendra Prasad and other characters will bring the audiences repeatedly to the theaters.
Ileana is slim and beautiful. She provided ample glamour in the songs. And the romantic track in the first half with Allu Arjun is good.
Rajendra Prasad is another asset for the film. He once again proves that he is the king of comedy with his expressions and performance. Hope he does such roles in future.
Brahmanandam entertains to the core, MS Narayana is hilarious. Rao Ramesh and Tanikella Bharani bagged good roles; Brahmaji and Sonu Sood are perfect. Others were adequate.
Technical Analysis:
Devi Sri Prasad’s music have already topped the chartbusters and the chorography is good. Title song Julayi, Mee intiki mundho gate, and O Madhu are good on-screen. Allu Arjun as usual rocked the dances. Trivikram Srinivas dialogues added strength to the film. He packed with punch dialogues all the way. Dialogues such as “Logic Lu evaru nammaru andariki magic le kavali, anduke mana desam lo scientists kanna baba la ne ekkuva nammutaru.., “Jevitham Highway Gelupu One Way', “vadiki gonthu undi arusthadu..veediki family undi jadusthadu”, “ Mamulga mudurlu plan chesi pani chestharu, nalanti Deshamudurlu pani chesthu plan chestharu “ will please the audiences. Direction is good and screenplay is fresh and moves at good pace though few scenes remind you of Hollywood scenes. Editing is crisp in the first half and could be better in second half. Production values are good.
Analysis:
Trivikram Srinivas brings in freshness to the film with his rib-tickling dialogues while the actors entertain us with their experienced good comic timing. However, scenes like bank robbery were direct lift from The Dark Knight with very minor changes and the climax episode is similar to The Italian Job. Nevertheless, climax scenes impress you with a mix of action and emotional scenes. Dialogues are the main asset of the film apart from Allu Arjun, Rajendra Prasad and other characters performances. The first half of the Julayi is filled with humor elements with entertaining dialogues while the second half is a bit dull and weak comparatively to the other half. The pace drops in the second half here and there. Nevertheless, Julayi, all in all is a fun-filled entertainer.
Final Verdict:
Allu Arjun’s energy and Trivikram’s dialogues make Julayi a fun-filled entertainer…
