Young Tiger NTR is now back with Puri Jagan’s Temper which has hit the screens today. Let’s see how it is. NTR is a typical Puri-fied hero with a mega ego.

Story

Temper is a story of a corrupted police officer. Daya (NTR) is a fully corrupted police officer who gets transferred to Vizag. There he joins hands with Walter Vasu(Prakash Raj) and heads towards the corruption route.

Daya’s girlfriend(Kajal) kidnapping incident is the twist of the Temper which makes Daya very angry go against Vasu and his empire. Daya later finds out that
there is a bigger motive behind this kidnapping which forms the rest of the story.

Performance

NTR is the major highlight of the film. Credit should completely go to Puri Jagan for showcasing NTR in a never before seen avatar. Right from his look to the powerful character he has portrayed, NTR looks a million bucks. The way he has balanced his character especially during the climax is out standing. NTR’s body language and dialogue modulation are at peaks during this part. You will see a new NTR in this film.

Prakash Raj once again proves his mettle and gives a decent performance. He looks perfect and all his confrontational scenes with NTR have come out extremely well. Kajal looks gorgeous and provides the necessary eye candy. Madhurima is quite good in her role and brings in the necessary impact.

Plus Points

It is a one-man show by NTR.  He comes out of the image trap and accepts a role that demands of him to call himself a scumbag; well, at one point he even shouts to Posani, "Enti ra?  Nannu ala cheap ga choostunnav."  That is Daya, the SI sans 'daya' for you.  There is a reason for his unscrupulousness.  It is, no prizes for guessing, his orphanhood.

Posani is superb as NTR’s sidekick and evokes awesome emotions throughout the film.

Second half is the heart and soul of the film and runs on a emotional mode. The Police station Episode and court episode during the climax evokes thumping applause from the audience and has been handled quite effectively. Chemistry between Kajal and NTR looks outstanding.

The songs pass muster and don't have in them to become runaway hits.  But for NTR's dance moves, Anup Rubens' music is no saving grace.  Mani Sharma's BG score is just OK.

Sam K Naidu's cinematography is good.

Minus Points

First half of the film is just average. If Puri could have added some basic entertainment values during this part, the output could have been even more effective. Kajal has absolutely nothing to do in the second half.

Story of the film is quite routine and gets predictable during the second half. Subjects like these have been dealt many a times in the past. Sonia Aggarwal is wasted in her role.

Technical

Production values are superb as the makers have not compromised on the visuals. Camera work is top notch and showcases Vizaq beautifully. The way NTR has been presented in a all new attitude is pretty good. Anup Ruben’s music is decent as all the songs are peppy and have been shot stylishly. Lyrics are quirky and gel with situations quite well.

It is not action or even the songs (as much as you like NTR's terrific dance moves) that are the saving grace.  It's the emotional quotient that is not over-board (except when Daya says to Vasu, "Evadu ra anadha.  Naku nanna unnadu, amma undhi, chelli undhi.." in a contrived pre-climax scene).  After Rakhi, this one has NTR do some heavy stuff with astonishing ease.

Dialogues need a special mention as they have been written with a lot of impact. Screenplay of the film is below average in the first half and only picks up during the second half. Puri Jagan is at his supreme best when he deals with stories based on cops. The way he has extracted performance from NTR is excellent. Puri also manages to showcase the problems in the society in a interesting manner and narrates the film quite crisply.

Analysis

Temper has everything which NTR fans can eagerly look forward to. NTR’s stylish look and super strong characterization are major assets of the film. Temper is ought to become a perfect comeback hit for Young Tiger.You will be in for an emotional ride.

Final Word

NTR-Puri Jagannadh's combination with Temper is a Bumper at the box office. NTR in a never before seen avatar will satisfy his fans immensely. Overall, Temper is an emotion plus action which makes everyone leave the theatres with blows off Temper in them.
