Nara Rohit has created a unique name for himself by doing films with different subjects. His latest offering is Rowdy Fellow which is directed by lyricist turned director Krishna Chaitanya. This film has hit the screens today. Let’s see how it is.
Story
Rowdy fellow is a movie between a rich spoilt brat and a dreaded
politician.Rana Pratap (Nara Rohit) is a rich spoilt brat who goes to
explicit lengths to satisfy his ego. One fine day, he gets into a brawl
with an cop (Ahuti Prasad) and joins the police department just to teach
him a lesson. He gets himself posted to a place called Kolleru in Eluru
district.
Once he lands there, he comes to know that the entire
area is ruled by a dreaded politician called Durga Prasad (Rao Ramesh).
As time passes by, Rana also realizes that the entire village is in neck
deep problems posed by him. Rest of the story is as to how Rana goes
against the mighty Durga Prasad and destroys his empire.
Performance
Plus Points
Rowdy Fellow is a complete Nara Rohit film right from the word go. It is
his dynamic screen presence which steals the show. Be it his dialogue
delivery or his power packed performance, Rohit has nailed it
completely. He looks apt in the role of an arrogant police officer and
his performance during the climax is outstanding.
One more actor
who is worth a special mention is Rao Ramesh. He has given a seasoned
performance and is a perfect fit in his negative role. Confrontation
scenes between him and Nara Rohit during the climax have been designed
supremely well. Posani Krishna Murali and Praveen are pretty good in
their respective roles. The way the film has been narrated with a single
point agenda is also good. First half of the film moves quite swiftly.
Minus Points
Even though the screenplay is quite good, pace of the film is a bit
slow. The movie runs mostly on a serious note and does not have the so
called commercial aspects. Visakha Singh’s track has no importance and
could have been completely eliminated. Story in the second half drifts a
bit and a song breaks out which only spoils the mood of the film.
Rohit’s
background and the way he goes about using his power have not been
justified. As said earlier, the story has single point agenda which also
makes the film quite predictable.
Technical
Rowdy Fellow is technically a brilliant film. Camerawork is outstanding
and lifts the film to another level. The way the rural set up has been
showcased is quite good. As in every Nara Rohit film, dialogues are top
notch. They have been written with a lot of depth and especially the
ones in the climax are captivating. Music of the film is pretty good,
but it is the background score which is a huge plus for the film.
Rowdy
Fellow is a screenplay based film and runs completely on the directors
vision. Debutante Krishna Chaitanya has managed to do a decent job with
his debut film. His writing skills are excellent, but even he goes the
commercial way and tries to force in many unwanted aspects which spoil
the flow of the film.
Analysis
Final Word
On the whole, Rowdy Fellow showcases Nara Rohit’s tremendous growth as an actor. Even this film is different as his previous flicks and has something unique about it. The rustic set up, Nara Rohit and Rao Ramesh’s tremendous performance are basic plus points. On the flip side, a slightly offtrack second half and slow pace makes this film just an ok watch.
