Story:
Rambabu (Pawan Kalyan) is a mechanic and a responsible citizen, who fights against the odds in society by reacting to the news reports. He gets noticed by Ganga (Tamanna), working in regional news channel and persuades him in joining her team as journo. Rambabu accepts it and joins the TV Channel. He comes across opposition leader Jawahar Naidu(Kota Srinivasa Rao), who gives hard time to CM (Nasser) for making his son Rana Babu (Prakash Raj) taking the CM position. With few situations, the fight between the Rambabu and Rana Babu sets in and the rest is to be watched on-screens.
Performances:
It’s Pawan Kalyan’s show all the way. His powerful dialogue delivery, comic timing, dances and fights are a treat to watch. Power Star’s dances in Melikal Thiruguthunte and expressions in Extraordinary are superb. Puri Jagan’s powerful dialogues worked out well especially the Telugu Talli episodes.
Tamanna is glamorous but her character is a bit loud and looks like she is overreacting in some scenes. However, the chemistry between Pawan Kalyan and Tamanna worked and the scenes were shaped up well.
Prakash Raj has done his usual best, Kota Srinivasa Rao is perfect, Gabriela irritates as TV Channel boss, Brahmanandam, Ali brings comic relief, Nasser, Tanikella Bharani are decent. Scarlet Wilson is good in the item song and added the needed glamour.
Technical Analysis:
Cinematography by Shyam K Naidu is good and the grading, picture quality is good and colorful. Musical scores by Mani Sharma are good while the background score is an asset elevating the powerful scenes. Puri Jagannadh’s direction is okay while the dialogues had the needed essence. Screenplay could have better and racy in the first half. Editing is fine yet few scenes can be trimmed to make it much crispier.
Analysis:
With Puri Jagannadh and Pawan Kalyan teaming up after long gap of 11 years, the expectations are naturally high and, CGTR releasing post the mega success of Gabbar Singh has even hiked the expectations. The idea behind the story with political backdrop and social responsibility credit has to be given to Pawan Kalyan. Pawan Kalyan characterization has been well-etched and his terrific on-screen presence can be felt through out the movie. Power Star’s powerful, emotional dialogues in the second half are an asset. While the first half lacks the racy screenplay unlike other Puri Jagan films, despite entertaining scenes and powerful dialogues, it is the second half of the film that raises the tempo and has turned crucial. Scenes like Brahmanandam, Pawan Kalyan delivering the news, Ali and Bramhi scenes, Pawan Kalyan dialogues about women are quite entertaining.
Mani Sharma has cleverly interwoven the background score that has elevated many powerful scenes. However, Prakash Raj’s character lacks intensity, Puri could have taken care in the role and the climax looked unconvincing with the added graphics. The pre-climax episodes, Rambabu-Ranababu confrontation scenes, Prakash Raj arrest scenes are few of the standout scenes of CGTR.
Final Verdict:
A sincere attempt by Puri Jagannadh. Watch Pawan Kalyan’s terrific on-screen presence in Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu…
