Shourya Movie Review, Shourya Telugu Movie Review, Shourya Review, Shourya Review and Rating, Shourya Public Talk

Touted to be an edge of the-seat romantic thriller, Shourya has released today to positive pre-release buzz and decent expectations. Showcasing Manoj in a revamped avatar, lets see how the movie fared.

Story:

Shourya (Manchu Manoj) is a highly educated individual who is in deep love with Nethra (Regina Cassendra). Due to unknown reasons, the couple decide to elope but an unfortunate series of events lead to Nethra being murdered. Twist in the tale arises when Shourya gets framed for the murder.
Why were they couple eloping? Did Shourya really kill Nethra? What is the actual story ? To know answers to these questions, you need to watch the film on the big screen.

Performance:

Manoj's performance, specially during emotional scenes, is exceptional. He portrayed both positive and negative angles with aplomb. He is the biggest plus in the film. Regina acts naturally and looks beautiful. Prakash Raj does a very good job as the police officer. Nagineedu, Subbaraju and Sayaji Shinde do justice to their their roles. The comedy track of Prabhas Sreenu works out very well.

Plus Points:

Story
Climax
Manchu Manoj, Prakash Raj

Minus Points:

Slow paced first half
songs
Production values

Technical Aspects:

Production values are quite good. Editing is sub-par. The background score manages to elevate a few scenes. Songs are disappointing and will be forgotten. Dialogues are average. Cinematography is decent and a few scenes have been showcased well. The screenplay is also jerky.

Coming to director Dasaradh, although he is experienced in family dramas, he failed to showcase this thriller in an intriguing way. The way the proceedings have been shown, especially during the first half leave a lot to be desired. If he had taken care of the first half and made the movie tighter and pacy, it would have been much better.

Verdict:

On the whole, given the pre-release buzz and expectations, Shourya ends up as a slight let down. Although, the twists and turns in the second half make a compelling movie, the first half falls flat and leaves a lot to be desired. Overall, Shourya might be an okay option if you have nothing else to do this weekend.
