Producer: M L Kumar Chowdary
Release date: 29/10/2010

The handsome Siddarth has been working hard to score success at the box office and this time, he teamed up with the veteran Rajendra Prasad to achieve it.

Story
Set on the backdrop of Venkatapuram in the Godavari district, Veera Babu (Siddarth) is the darling son of Sitaram Prasad (Rajendra Prasad). He is a complete brat and causes trouble in the village along with his group of friends (Prasad, Venu and others). He chances upon Varalakshmi (Pranitha), whose father (Ahuti Prasad) is a man of high status and talks to only such people. However, love blossoms between Veera Babu and Varalakshmi as they go a long way back. On the other hand, Sitaram Prasad has got a strong link with Varalakshmi’s family but stays away from them. What is that link? Does Veera Babu succeed in his love story? All this forms the rest of the story.

Performances
Siddarth does his best to infuse life into his character and as usual, he is lively and expressive wherever required. His attempt to speak in the coastal slang must be appreciated. However, he got quite dramatic and artificial in the climax.

Rajendra Prasad was mild. His character was not etched properly and in a way, he was not used to his fullest caliber. He excelled in a bit of mono action in the fields in first half.

Pranitha looks homely and at the same time has enough sex appeal. She has shown ease and confidence in front of the camera. That way, she has scored in glamour and performance departments. Her intro scene with ‘Ringa Ringa..’ song is entertaining.

Ahuti Prasad was regular, Tanikella was neat, Samrat was handsome and did a good job, Brahmi and Ali comedy track took off well but fizzled out, Raghu Babu was brief, Prasad, Venu and gang gave many smiles, Kasi Viswanath, Bharath and others were there to fill the screen. The actress who did the role of Siddarth’s mom was decent, Sindhu Tolani was a misfit.

Analysis
The film takes off at a very good level and the entire first half goes breezily with comedy and entertainment. However, things go completely down during the second half and with each passing scene, audience’s patience is tested.

The film suffers due to lack of depth during the emotional scenes and for some reason, the last twenty minutes went completely haywire and director lost track of what he wants to do. It was rather different to see audience clapping and whistling at some of the tragedy and emotional sequences which goes to show how the film got dragged and bored the viewer.

The storyline is quite routine and one has seen the routine twists before. On the bright side, the technical aspects are good. Cinematography was top notch. Background score was good, two songs were melodious, dialogues were well written, screenplay was okay. Editing was most needed during the second half to cut the drag scenes and melodrama. Locations were eye catching.

Overall, the openings for the film will be good due to the Siddarth factor and old loyal fans of Rajendra Prasad but then it is very hard for the film to get into the profit zone at the box office due to the squabbled second half.

Bottom-Line: Good first half- Very Bad second half

RAKTA CHARITRA-MOVIE REVIEW

Posted by LEGENDRY KRISH on , under MOVIE REVIEWS |

Average

Ram Gopal Varma’s much hyped and long awaited film Rakta Charitra has finally hit the screens today. The film raised the heat considerably, particularly in Rayalaseema. Let us see if the film has lived up to all the hype.

Story:

RGV begins the story with the backdrop to the mindless violence and how revenge killings became the norm. A local MLA (Kitty) in Anandapuram manages things with a trusted aide Rajendra Gupta.

Kitty’s relative Kota is unable to see Rajendra Gupta, a man from the lower caste being so blindly trusted and relied upon. So he manages to make Kitty distrust Rajendra and kill him’

Rajendra’s elder son Shankar Ravi (Sushant) is naturally livid and he goes on a killing spree. He operates from the forest. Shankar’s younger brother Pratap Ravi (Vivek Oberoi) who lives far away from the faction ridden place is enraged after he learns that his brother has been murdered.

Pratap comes to the place and wreaks havoc. He gets Kitty and Kota murdered. The rise of Pratap as a faction leader is naturally not to the liking of Bukka Reddy (Abhimanyu Singh) son of Kota.

The rivalry between Pratap and Bukka Reddy grabs the attention of a politician Shivaji Rao (Shatrughna Sinha). He starts patronizing Pratap with an intention of subduing Bukka Reddy.

Shivaji Rao sets up a party and rides to power and becomes the chief minister. Pratap is elected as the MLA from Anandapuram. Just when things seem to be settling down enters a new man – Surya.

To know what happens next – we have to wait for another month – November 19 to be exact. RGV will release part-2 of Rakta Charitra on that day.

Performance:

Vivek Oberoi proves that he is an apt choice to play the role of Paritala Ravi. Vivek is soft and suave and when the need rises he shows his steely and violent side as and when required.

The best performance in the film is by Abhimanys Singh. He is just the right man to play the role of the wicked, heartless and cruel Bukka Reddy. Abhimanyu brings in the required intensity to the scenes – be it rape or murder.

Kota as usual excels in his role as Nagamani Reddy. Shaturghan Sinha is apt to play the role of NT Rama Rao. He does remind us of NTR in some scenes and the way he waves his left hand makes one feel as if one is watching NTR.

Radhika Apte is apt in her role as the love interest of Vivek Oberoi. Tanikella Bharani, Sushanth, Ashish Vidyarthi and others do justice to their roles.

Analysis:

Ram Gopal Varma has succeeded in portraying to a large extent the way things were in Rsyalaseema some time ago. He brings in the required depth and intensity to the characters. The film generates enough heat and intensity as a film based on faction violence should.

The screenplay is racy and the cinematography with brown lighting captures the mood perfectly. RGV has put in a lot of violence to set the mood for the film and in a way justifies the killings and violence as they form the basis for revenge killings.

Verdict:

Rakta Charitra is a gripping film but RGV has used excessive bloodshed and gore to prove his pint. The film also has too many characters with some being insignificant. This only makes the film a bit more confusing.

Ram Gopal Varma has stuck more or less to real facts and made it seem like fiction. So those who have followed the faction feuds in Seema closely, they may not find anything new or shocking.

Rakta Charitra is a film full of blood and gore. The film offers nothing at all for ladies and family audiences. With its ‘A’ tag it is out of bounds for children anyway. The film has garnered a lot of publicity but its fate at the box office is uncertain.

Rakta Charitra Review – Another Gory Facet of the Politics !

Cast: Vivek Oberoi, Shatrughan Sinha, Sushant Singh, Ambhimanyu Skekhar Singh

Director: Ram Gopal Verma

Genre: Action, Drama

Rating: 3 / 5

Review: Ram Gopal Verma seldom makes films for the faint hearted people and Rakta Charitra proves to be so and this one superseded all his previous works where goriness is concerned. The film once again happens to be a subject that is close to Verma’s heart the underbelly and the darker side of the world of politics.

The story is of the politician named Paritala Ravi of Andhra Pradesh who without flinching turns to murdering people as he pass out from the college and becomes a politician. It is life of Ravi and in between that journey, there is mass murder, rape and abduction of women and the revenge saga goes on.

Like the signature ram Gopla Verma style there are faces and shots taken from some angles that adds eeriness and at times become awkward too. In spite of the free flowing of the blood the characters for some unknown reason keeps on using the word “rakta”.

Though the subject matter is quite a strong one and portrayal of the goriness of the political world could have been done with finesse, Verma lacks the subtlety and in the loud sound-track only takes away from making the film an emotional and psychological one.

There are some powerful performances by the lead cast but once again the characters are not very well etched out. One can just say that Verma’s fascination for the goriness has taken over the brutality he could have shown about the rural political world and made it a voyeuristic film that can be enjoyed by those who loves bloodshed in ample amount.

Overall, the movie gets a ratings of 3 stars out of 5 with great reviews from different reviewers and it’s sure worth a watch.

Brindaavanam Movie Review by IndiaGlitz.......Always best review

Posted by LEGENDRY KRISH on Friday, October 15 , under MOVIE REVIEWS | comments (0)

Dil Raju, who was once a golden hand, tasted a few flops and finally resurrected with the most-awaited film of NTR, ‘Brindavanam’. Director Vamsi Paidipally was able to bring the dream of SS Rajamouli to come true. In fact it is Rajamouli, who wanted to showcase NTR’s talent and make him a family hero and ‘Brindavanam’ fulfilled his aspirations. Vamsi should be commended for striving hard in penning a tight screenplay coupled with a nice narration. He perfectly mixed the family drama with action scenes, to suit NTR’s image.

Story

Krishna @ Krish (NTR) is the only son of a millionaire industrialist (Mukhesh Rushi). He loves his father and mother (Pragati) very much. He falls in love with Indu (Samanta). However, Indu has a friend called Bhumi (Kajal), who wanted to go for higher studies in the US. But Bhumi’s father Bhanuprasad (Prakash Raj) wanted to get her married to his nephew (Ajay), who is a womaniser and bad guy. So, Bhumi’s grandfather (Kota Srinivasa Rao) lies that Bhumi loved a boy and Bhanu Prasad tells Bhumi to bring him to the village. So, at the behest of Indu, Krish accepts to act as Bhumi’s boyfriend and goes to the village. He understands the situation in the house and set the things right and helps blossom love in the family. Learning that Bhanu and his brother (Srihari) have become bitter enemies because of Bhanu’s brother in law, Krish makes Bhanu to realise his folly and unites both the brothers. At this juncture, Indu reaches the village. Surprisingly, Indu is the cousin of Bhumi. Now, Krish is in a dilemma on how to convince Bhanu Prasad that he is only acting as the boyfriend of Bhumi? How he was able to convince Bhanu Prasad and his brother? Was Indu able to catch the hand of Krish? What is the fate of Bhumi? Answers to all these questions have to be seen on the screen.

Dialogues

Dialogues by Koratala Siva are very good. Especially, the comedy, the punch, sentiment and everything that is needed for a romantic entertainer were perfectly penned through his dialogues. Though the basic story is by the director Vamsi Paidipally, it is the dialogues that filled life in the story.

Music and songs

Thaman gave melodious tunes to all the songs and it has both the fast beat and rhythm besides melody. The lyricists kept good literary values in the songs too. The choreography of all the songs was good to watch, though not very great. As usual, NTR shook his legs with good ease and the heroines too shared the screen with equal ease.

Camera work

The camera work by Chota K Naidu is excellent. He perfectly captured the beauty of the villages and the environment to suit the taste of family audiences as well as youth. At the same time, the camera work in action scenes is also good to appease mass audiences.

Action

Action scenes directed by Ram-Lakshman are okay. Though the action are not so stylish, they could definitely enthral the mass audiences and front benchers and make them blow the whistles, whenever NTR bashes the goons.

Story, screenplay and direction

Vamsi scripted a perfect screenplay for the film and it was so tight that the audiences could not move out of their seats and make them stick even in song sequences. Each and every scene in the movie was narrated with precision and the director should be commended for running the movie with perfection. He was able to deliver an out and out commercial entertainer, which has all kinds of elements that has the love, sentiment, action and romance. The comedy in the film was quite situational. Venumadhav, Raghubabu, Ahuti Prasad and Brahmanandam gave their best in entertaining the audiences. Vamsi, who learnt from the past mistakes, did a wonderful job and gave a nice make over to NTR by transforming a mass hero to a family hero, yet maintaining the mass hero image with good action scenes. Though the story is not new and several such films have come on the screen earlier, the treatment the director gave to the subject made the film thoroughly enjoyable.

Performance

NTR stood apart in the film and he took the entire responsibility to run the movie with the same and equal tempo. Especially, he was able to perform with the same tempo in emotional scenes, sentiment and family scenes, romantic scenes and at the same time, maintained good comedy timing all through the film. Venumadhav and Brahmanandam helped him a lot while delivering the comedy. Kajal is quite pretty and most of the film revolves around her character soon after the story reaches to the village. Samanta looked stylish in urban and modern costumes. However, she had a very little role to play in the film. Prakash Raj and Srihari were at their usual best and Kota Srinivasa Rao lived up the mark. Other artistes including Ahuti Prasad, Rabhubabu, Mukhesh Rushi and others did justice to their roles. Tanikella Bharani was wasted, while Ajay’s role just came and went and played some role in the climax.

Verdict

You can watch the film with the whole family because of entertainment values. Definitely the film will give you a relief after a stressful day. Especially, after watching two duds like Puli and Mahesh Khaleja, NTR’s Brindavanam would definitely be liked by the audiences.

Released on: 14th Oct, 2010

BRINDAVANAM-MOVIE REVIEW

Posted by LEGENDRY KRISH on Thursday, October 14 , under MOVIE REVIEWS | comments (0)

STARRING : r. NTR, Kajal Agarwal, Samantha, Prakash Raj and others

MUSIC : Thaman
DIRECTOR : Vamsi Pydipally

RELEASE DATE : October 14th 2010Above Average

The much awaited Jr. NTR starrer film Brindavanam has finally hit the screens after being postponed a couple of times. The fans have waited with bated breasth to see how their hero looked in his new soft character.

Story:

Krishna@Krish (Jr. NTR) is the only son of a rich business magnate Mukesh Rushi. Krishs dad and mother love him very much and give him complete freedom to lead life as he wishes. Krish love Indu (Samantha) who is an engineering student.

Krish has this habit of helping people who are in trouble. This actually leads him into trouble when he agrees to help Indu without asking as to what he is required to do.

Indu wants Krish to act as the lover of Bhumi (Kajal Agarwal) and go to her home to meet her family members. Bhumis father Prakash Raj wants to give away his daughter in marriage to his wifes brothers son Ajay.

The problem is Ajay is a good for nothing fellow, who terrorizes everyone in the village and leads the life of a goon. Bhumi by introducing Krish as her lover wants to buy time so that she can somehow come out of her problem.

Krish lands up in Bhumis house. The house is called Brindavanam. Everyone in the house is terrified of Praksha Raj. Krisha now realizes that he has more work to do and set right many things in the house and not just act as Bhumis lover.

Prakash Raj has a running feud with Sri Hari of the neighboring village. The problem is Sri Hari is also the son of Prakash Rajs father Kota but their mothers are different.

Krish now begins to set things right and unites the two brothers. He thinks his job is finished but then Indu comes to the village. She is the niece of Sri Hari. Meanwhile Prakash Raj decided to get his daughter married to Bhumi.

Ajay who is angry at being denied the hand of Bhumi plots to eliminate Jr. NTR but does not succeed. He then kidnaps Krishs parents and brings them to the village.

Here Jr. NTR has already set up Brahmanadam as his father. Now it is like musical chairs and Indu and Bhumi are now in a big dilemma as the drama that they have started has now landed them in trouble.

Bhumi is now deeply in love with Krish. Prakash Raj and Sri Hari are stumped as they dont now as to whom Krish should now marry� Bhumi or Indu. To know the ending, watch the film on the screen.

Performance:

Jr. NTR looks different in his new soft role. He does a good job but somehow his trademark mannerism and style are missing in the film. He still gets a chance to bash up a few goons and as usual he also dances very well.

Kajal Agarwal carries her role of a demure girl with conviction. She also sizzles in a couple of songs and does justice to her role.

Samatha has a meaty role and she also comes up with a fairly convincing performance. With this film Samatha sheds her homely girl image tag from Ye Maaya Chesavo quite easily.

Prakash Raj plays a routine role and Sri Hari gets to play another trademark character for which he is now famous. Venu does his routine comedy and so does Brahmanandam.
Tanikella Bharani, Raghu Babu, Ajay, Mukesh Rushi and others do their act as per the requirements of the script.

Analysis:

Jr. NTR must be commended for his courage to accept a soft character that is totally in contrast to his mass hero image. The film begins on a slow note but the interval bang is good as Kajals father agrees to let her marry NTR just as Samatha enters the scene.

Most of the action is in the second half. While there are some fights, duets and comedy, the film drags on. Music is okay and a couple os songs rock.

The director seems to have been confused a bit as he puts in too many things in the film thereby making it a long drawn out family drama.

Verdict:

Brindavana as the director has promised is a soft family drama. The film is quite heavy on sentiment it may be a bit had for the fans of Jr. to relish it. The climax is predictable and there is hardly any surprise element.

The film entertains but only partly. The fate of the film now rests on word of mouth publicity and the patronage of ladies and family audiences.

Khaleja my own review

Posted by LEGENDRY KRISH on Sunday, October 10 , under MOVIE REVIEWS | comments (0)

This is the first hand report leaked in film nagar as per the discussions among the people those watched the movie at a private screening in Rama Naidu Studio.

They say that there is huge action and wonderful comedy in the movie that makes the audiences stick on to seats without a gap to take breathe.

“Trivikram Srinivas rocks again with Mahesh Babu after ‘Athadu’. The interval bang gives a feel of relief for all the audiences for watching a good movie of Mahesh Babu after a long time”, says a viewer.

“Although Mahesh arrived late, his ‘Khaleja’ sounds latest and will not disappoint at all. Mahesh Babu performed in hilarious way and Trivikram’s trade mark dialogues are gripping, subtle and above expectations. The dialogue delivery of Mahesh Babu also sounds different this time. That’s really interesting. His ‘oota padam’ in this movie is ‘BHAYYA’…which will certainly become a popular usage among youth with this movie. The song ‘Om Namo Rudraya..’ stands as highlight in the movie” ,says another.

“Anushka is showcased beautifully. She is literally ‘very hot’. Brahmanandam, Ali, Raghubabu and Sunil did great job in their comedy department. Cinematography is mind blowing. Fights are excellent. Mani Sharma’s RR also worked well” is the SMS that started circulating.

“Villagers make Mahesh Babu a demigod. That part is very weak in the film”, is a grey area in the film as per the talk.

Talking about the story a viewer says…:

Seeta Rama Raju (Mahesh Babu) is a taxi driver.

GK (Prakash Raj) and Tanikella Bharani are business partners selling Iridium that costs many times to gold, which is used in rocket building.

Tanikella’s daughter is Anushka. He wishes to get her married to Prakash Raj’s son (Amit) so that they can associate to do more businesses in illegal way. They also run medical colleges. They send a researcher to a border village in AP to discover that traces of Iridium. He discovers a Lord Krishna idol and finds that is made of Iridium. Later he learns that entire village has Iridium treasure under ground. Only 534 people live in the village. The conspiracy of Prakash Raj and Bharani is to evacuate those people and capture complete Iridium treasure. Dilavar Singh, a local, helps Prakash Raj in this matter.

After getting the things done, Prakash Raj kills Dilavar Singh and the Researcher for not letting the secret out. He also plans to kill Mahesh Babu in a planned way. He asks him to go to Rajasthan to handover the insurance money of Dilavar Singh. Mahesh Babu goes there. Shafi and Rao Ramesh are village heads there.

How dangers surround Mahesh and how he encounters them? That is the twist from then.

Note: This is the first hand report. This may or may not be in tune with actual outcome. Get glued to this place to find full original review shortly.

Mahesh Khaleja - Movie Review movie rating 3.25/5

Posted by LEGENDRY KRISH on Friday, October 8 , under MOVIE REVIEWS | comments (0)

Above Average

Star Cast: Mahesh Babu, Anushka, Prakash Raj, Sunil, Shafi and others

Director: Trivikram Srinivas

Music: Mani Sharma

Release Date: 07 October, 2010

Prince Mahesh Babu arrives after a long gap of three years. His last film was Athidhi. Mahesh Babu’s fans have very high expectation from Khaleja. Has Mahesh and the director managed to fulfill the expectations of the fans? Let us take a look.

Story:

Sitarama Raju (Mahesh Babu) is a cab driver. Circumstances lead him to a remote village in Rajashtan. There Mahesh Babu is sucked into a problem that is not of his making.

Raju is there on a mission. It is to locate the whereabouts of a family of Dilwar Singh who was killed while traveling in his cab. Raju meets TV journalist Sunil in Girdalpur village and seeks his help. Raju comes in contact with Subhashini (Anushka). However she proves to be an iron leg as far as Raju is concerned.

Rao Ramesh is a baba who is looking for almighty intervention to save the village. He waits for a man to come to the village and save it from destruction. The village water resources are polluted due to industrial waste from the plastic factory of Prakash Raj. Rao Ramesh sends his disciple Shafi to search for this man.

When Raju lands there Rao Ramesh is convinced that he is none other than the man God has destined and sent to save the village.

We have a villain in the from of Prakash Raj. Subhasihini’s father Tanikella who has a huge business dfealing with Prakash Raj wants to give his daughter in marriage to Prakash Raj’s son.

The film then takes several twists and turns with Raju being sucked into this fully. How he saves the villagers and comes out successfully is the basis for the remaining part of the story.

Performance:

Mahesh Babu is a treate to watch. He looks young and fabulous. His new looks and style make him that much more attractive to everyone. Mahesh Babu also coems up with a good performance and his dialogue delivery is neat and his comic timing is good. In fact the title Mahesh Khaleja is apt as it is a Mahesh show all the way from start to finish.

Anushka looks good but she is not as impressive as she was in other films. She also does not rock that well with Mahesh and their combination has not exactly set the screen on fire.

Rao Ramesh, Tanikella Bharani, Shafi and others do a good job. Prakash Raj is impressive in his brief role. Sunil’ comedy is okay. Brahmanandam makes a guest appearance. The others do their job as required.

Mani Sharma’s music is okay but the backgeound score is not that effective. Only a couple of songs are impressive – ‘Sada Shive… ‘being the number one followed by ‘Makathika Maya Maschindra…’

Analysis:

Mahesh Khaleja reminds us of his earlier films like Athidhi, Athadu and even Pokiri. The film begins on a sloe note. The introduction of the hero is weak and screenplay is confusing.

Director Trvikram Srinivas has not done full justice to the story and comes up with an average film when the fans were expecting a blockbuster movie like Pokiri and Athadu.

There is too much violence in the film and the climax is very long and it drags a lot.

The film comes with a message. That is that every one of us must do something good to the society.

Verdict:

Mahesh Khaleja may please all Prince fans immensely as he looks very dashing and debonair. Overall the film may fall short of the expectations of the fans as well as the audience.

The fans who waited for three years surely expect more than what Trivkram has rolled out. Still the film is a good entertainer and makes for a decent watch on a leisurely weekend.

Robot (Hindi) Has Poor First Weekend

Posted by LEGENDRY KRISH on Monday, October 4 , under MOVIE REVIEWS, UPDATES | comments (0)

Robot (Hindi) could not make much impact at the box office as it grossed around 7 crore nett in its opening weekend.

The film did better on Saturday and Sunday but the big jump in collections was not there. The collections were mainly from Mumbai circuit (3.25 crore nett) and CPCI (1 crore nett). The North remained very dull.

The shows of Endhiran (Tamil) were much better be it Mumbai, Delhi or Gurgaon but it was a very limited release.

Overall Robot (Hindi) has not done well especially if we look at the release which was pretty wide. It will have to depend on the weekdays and second weekend if it is to put up a decent final total.

Robo’- Report Says Another ‘Komaram Puli’

Posted by LEGENDRY KRISH on Thursday, September 30 , under MOVIE REVIEWS | comments (1)

The report of much awaited film ‘Robo’ leaked. The prints were already dispatched to respective locations and the exhibitors have watched in private screenings in Australia and Canada.

The report is shocking. It is being called ‘another komaram puli’…Except a single scene where graphics worked wonderfully in an action scene nothing is appealing in the making. Aish is the only asset for the movie and the romance track is very weak. On a whole it’s a dumb story line, say reports.

If this were the case, then the fate of this highest budget film is in question mark .

SRK's suits in Ra.One worth a 100 crore

Posted by LEGENDRY KRISH on , under MOVIE REVIEWS | comments (0)

We guess he’s called King Khan for a reason. Everything about superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s next film Ra.One, which is touted to be one of the most expensive Hindi films ever, is being described as ‘king size’, be it action, music or budget.

And just when the media was digesting news

Shah Rukh goes size zero?
Ra.One will be path-breaking: Arjun Rampal
that his superhero rubber suit in the movie will cost Rs 1 crore, SRK clarifies the real cost of the suit is much, much more. Says Khan, “I keep reading in the papers that my costume is a million rupee costume. But it’s actually a million dollar costume — that’s four-and-a-half crore rupees per costume. And there’s not one costume, there are 20 such!”

That puts the cost of just the costumes of the movie at Rs 100 crore, which reads like an unlikely figure. Khan carelessly adds that he was just talking about his character, G One’s costumes. “There are costumes for Ra.One’s character too!”

Khan also goes on to liken his costumes to that of Spiderman, “Like the Spiderman suit, my costumes are specialised. They are not for style – you can’t wear them to parties. But yeah, you could probably wear G.One’s designer T-shirts."

But when asked about the budget of the movie, Khan plays it down by shifting focus instead on to the ‘simple’ story of the movie, “Ra.One is a very real film, although it is in the genre of superhero-meets-genie in a bottle. I have tried not to keep it over-the-top or too ‘dialoguey’. It has real situations and authentic dialogue.”

Although he remains tight-lipped about the exact storyline of the movie, Khan gives us a sneak peak, “I play a very genuine South Indian character in the movie. I’ve been thinking about the poster of the movie and I think the film can be put in one line as ‘Every father wants to be a hero to his son’.

“So even though the film is about a superhero, it is also a family film,” he insists. “Kareena (Kapoor) is my wife in the movie, we have a kid and we are a regular family – there is a lot of comedy, happiness and bonding, until all hell breaks loose. And then, there is action, which you hopefully have never seen before, at least in an Indian movie.” We will soon find out.

Synopsis :
KnockOut is a fast paced thriller that happens in real time. In just two hours 11am to 1pm an enigmatic vigilante pulls off an incredible, mind blowing coup and a new chapter of Indian history is written.
Sanjay Dutt plays a new age lone ranger who has the latest weapons and gadgets at his fingertips, and is a man who trusts and depends on no one. Working alone, he effortlessly uses his wit, his skills at hand to hand combat, and his love for stealth technology, to manipulate and trap his elusive target.
The target, played by Irrfan, is a street smart investment banker who has made his way to the upper echelons of power. A man who unwittingly holds the keyto India’s destiny, Irrfan is a man consumed by his own obsessions, an extremely clever and unstoppable foe. Through a brilliant play of truth and pretense, Sanjay strips Irrfan of his arrogance and attitude, opens his heart and confounds his brain, locking him in a tangle beyond redemption… a tangle which can only be unraveled one way… leading to the biggest ‘counter heist’ in the history of this nation.
Hot on the trail of these two men is a hardnosed television journalist, played by Kangna Ranaut. She will stop at nothing… or so she believes, till she is faced with the ultimate call of conscience. Choosing between another man’s life or herself… Choosing between the country or herself. And each time she rises to the occasion, showing that the new India has its heart in the right place, its soul intact.
As the film reaches its action packed climax, every citizen of this country becomes a witness to the live action that unfolds before television cameras. For a nation that has endured political thieves for six decades, this counter heist of a massive scale wakes them up in a way nothing has ever done before.
The film ends in a huge wave of euphoria. The mysterious vigilante fights and wins an impossible battle, a battle that raged not just in the streets of Mumbai but also in the minds of the whole nation. True to style, he manages to walk off into the celebrating multitudes, his identity forever hidden… maybe to strike another day… and India awakens to a new beginning.
