Average Movie
After the highly suggestive 'Jintata..', it is now the turn of 'Appadam Aipoddi'. 'Khatharnack' came and went, and now 'Dubai Seenu' is the movie Ravi Teja is banking on. Co-starring Nayanatara, 'Dubai Seenu' is Trademark Ravi Teja again. Read on.
Plot:
Seenu's ambition is to go to Dubai, but is duped and ends up selling Pav Bhaji on the road in Mumbai instead. Here he meets Madhu (Nayanatara) and falls for her. Back in Hyderabad, Madhu works as a radio jockey, harassed by her corrupt police inspector uncle Babji (Sayaji Shinde) who wants to marry her. Meanwhile, Jinnah (Sushant Singh) is a wanted terrorist currently in Hyderabad, and Seenu kills his brother. The flashback unravels, and a revenge drama comes into play.
Story, Screenplay and Direction:
Firstly, the movie has traces of the recent blockbuster, 'Pokiri'. Ashish Vidhyarthi's character and Sayaji in this movie are similar. The climax also has elements of the former hit. The first half is entertaining. Compared to the director's earlier movie this season, 'Dhee', there is something forced about the comedy in the first half of 'Dubai Seenu'. Nonetheless, it entertains.
The second half has a loosely interwoven flashback that has the required 'sentiment' in it. J.D.Chakravarthy and Neha Bamb ('Dil' fame) do a cameo in this film. The main villain, Jinnah's many disguises are uncalled for, as he roams around quite often without them and is not caught. The comedy tracks that are cleverly a part of the original track is typical Sreenu Vaitla-laughter guaranteed, however grudgingly. Ravi Teja-Nayanatara chemistry never takes off. Venumadhav, Brahmanandam, Suneel and Krishna Bhagwan have good roles they take on with plan. Sushant Singh as Jinnah with his many disguises is actually a good performer, but with a clich�d role. Bhanuchander and Surekha, Sayaji Shinde and Raghubabu justify their roles.
Song and Dance:
The music and picturization is on level with the movie as a whole.
Last Word:
Typical Ravi Teja potbroiler, with a little bit of everything. Some comedy, silly sentiment, illogical terrorist drama all fused together-Dubai Seenu never moves out of the Indian shores. |  |
