Cine Prapancham | Latest Film News - Tollywood, Bollywood an Kollywood Updates

With Ram Charan's Zanjeer turned out to be a damp squib at the Box Office, a spate of jokes are circulating in social media over the film. And the one that is raising many eyeballs is joke on a renowned Bollywood critic.

Though most of the reviews lashed out at the film and even Zero ratings (by Rajeev Masand), Subhash K Jha's take on Zanjeer is exceptional and outstanding. Why? Subhash has given four stars for the film and said "Let's not get carried away. Every time a remake comes along, we get gooey-eyed and nostalgic about the original. The Zanjeer remake gets it right. Dead right."

That's not all. Subhash went on to heap praise on Prakash Raj, Mahie Gill, Sanjay Dutt, director Apoorva Lakhia and who not? He said "Throughout the film, we sense the director's immense affection for the original Zanjeer, a reverence that never clouds his judgement. This is one remake that stands tall and lithe. It is manned by a manful supply of action and yet manages to keep the machismo understated. Breakneck-paced, adrenaline-pumping, pulse-pounding -- Lakhia's deconstructed version of the Prakash Mehra film is a full-on pacy paisa-vasool entertainer with brio and balls."

Even a common movie buff who has watched the film has been laughing uncontrollably over this review. One opines that Subhash has tried his best to drum-beat to Ram Charan Teja, who happens to be the son of Union Tourism Minister Chiranjeevi. No doubt, the review raised many eye-balls with jaw-dropping review of Subhash. And here's a sneak peek of cartoon by Satish Acharya.

Story

Priya (Priya Bannerjee) lives in San Francisco with her parents but due to the strict restrictions from her parents and forced marriage, she runs away from house to commit suicide. Sunny (Adivi Sesh) comes to her rescue and makes her learn life is beautiful. In the short period, the duo falls in love and meanwhile, Priya’s parents and fiancée are in search of the lady. The rest forms the story.

Performances

Adivi Sesh looks good in few scenes and he performs well. Priya Banerjee looks bubbly and she plays her part convincingly.

Bharat Reddy is wasted in insignificant role, Shafi is noticeable, others weren’t upto the mark.

Technical analysis

Cinematography is classy and San Fransisco locales are beautifully captured. Music is okay while the background score could have been apt to the situational proceedings. Editing is pathetic. Lots of unnecessary scenes in the second half could have been trimmed down, Adivi Sesh scores in acting but as director he couldn’t leave his mark. Screenplay is awful. Production values are standard.

Analysis

Kiss story is routine while the screenplay is awful with inconsistent flow and loads of predictable scenes in the second half. The story moves on a boring note right from the word go and added to this the performances of supporting cast gets on to our nerves. Neither the comedy works nor the romantic scenes between the leads work for the Kiss film instead it makes the audiences loose patience and look for climax. Kiss has little entertainment but it goes in vain due to the staleness and illogical sequences. Editor should have sharpened his scissors to trim down unnecessary stuff especially the dragging scenes in the second half. The narration is dragging while the presentation is unconvincing giving an amateur attempt.

Final Verdict

Amateur attempt by Adivi Sesh
