'Eenadu' is directed by Chakri Toleti, and he has come up with a message oriented theme and he has failed to achieve it in both the narrative and the presentation department.
Story:
Police commissioner Eshwar Prasad (Venkatesh) gets a call that several bombs have been planted in various places in the twin cities like cinema halls, malls, police stations and even on a moving train. The caller does not identity himself. He is Kamal Haasan but we do not know his name or his identity or his religion. Kamal Haasan manages to convince the police commissioner that he is serious. The police commissioner then gets permission from the chief minister to negotiate with the caller and do as he wishes. Kamal wants four dreaded terrorists lodged in jails for planning bombs at Lumbini Park, Gokul chat, Jama Masjid to be released.
Eshwar Prasad agrees to release the four terrorist and at the same time he also tries to locate the whereabouts of Kamal in a bid to nab him. He is assisted ably in this task by two senior police officers, Ganesh Ramanathan and Bharat Reddy. The remaining part of the story is suspense. We have a twist in the climax and the film has a surprise ending.
Performance:
Kamal was regular but then his brilliance was missing, Venkatesh looked elegant but he had nothing much to offer given his character, Lakshmi was okay, Anuja was neat, Ganesh Venkatraman had a decent performance and made his presence felt, Poonam just disappeared. The others did their bit as required.
Music:
'Eenadu' is scored by Shruthi Haasan has also done a decent job as the music director.
Verdict: Average |  |
