Story:
A Lord Ganesh antique idol of value 10 crores from Padmanabhaswamy temple, Kerala gets stolen and transported to AP. Through Surya (Nikhil), a pick pocketer along with his couple of other friends the idol gets to Jeeva, a smuggling don. Meanwhile, Surya robs Journalist Swathi (Colors Swathi) new Vespa scooty and when she tries to identify it, he bluffs her and tries to impress. a goon Durga Prasad (Ravi Babu), from a Nigerian batch also tries to get hold of Ganesh idol by hook or crook and unknowingly, Swathi gets into the trap and Surya to get hold of the same idol sorts out things and this forms the crux.
Performances:
Nikhil is energetic and performed well. Unlike his earlier films he gives a restrained performance which strikes chord and he improvised in the dialogue delivery.
Swathi looked cute and she delivers a neat performance. The lead pairs chemistry is a good watch.
Pooja Ramachandran is impressive. Ravi Babu, Jeeva suited their roles, Jogi Brothers shines in the initial scenes. Bhanu Avirineni cameo is quite good.
Technical Analysis:
Musical scores by Sunny are ear-pleasing and refreshing while the background score is too good. Music composer Sunny proves that he is here to stay. Richard Prasad’s camera work is on top-class. Screenplay is gripping and stylish. Sudheer Varma direction is decent considering it’s his debut film. SR Sekhar's editing could have been crispier while the dialogues are neat. Production values are standard.
Analysis:
The plot is interesting and debutant Sudheer Varma strikes with his taking, but due to the thin storyline, the film looking dragging at most parts with 125 minutes of runtime. He could have packaged it with few more aspects.
The first half runs with gripping screenplay and interesting narration despite few predictable scenes. With a decent first half with refreshing scenes and impressive visuals, the audience would expect more from the second half. However, the pace drops drastically in the latter half and drags a lot while the climax fizzles out. Despite being a medium budget film, Swamy Ra Ra is technically sound with much stylishness and music by Sunny is one of the assets of the film. The filmmakers have put in good efforts but Swamy Ra Ra could have been more appealing with a good pace.
Final Verdict:
Swamy Ra Ra is decent crime-thriller with riveting first hour and a slow-paced second half. Commendable debut by Sudheer Varma.
