Director: Ravi C Kumar

Music: Chakri

VICTORY of Nitin comes with a bang on the present land mafia prevailing in Hyderabad as well as other parts of the country. Nitin is depicted as an action hero and with his well toned muscular body, he aptly suits the character. The director has carved the story very well, but the dragging second half of the film will make the audience a bit annoyed.

Story

Vijji (Nitin) is an educated guy with a middle class family tag in his background. He is young and much talented. He immensely loves his younger sister and his mom. Tanikella Bharani plays the father’s character of Vijji (Nitin) in this film. Tanikella has a desire to build a small house with all basic luxuries. He has a dream to cultivate a garden in his house and has the plans to play with his grandchildren in it. In order to fulfill his dream Tanikella purchase a small plot in a housing board society.

Sindhu tolani incidentally meets with Vijii and befriends him. She works as a reporter in the news channel TV5 and fights against injustice.

Meanwhile Tanikella wishes to see his son as a married man and so in search of a suitable bride surfs the matrimonial websites. A girl named Jannu (Mamta Mohan Das) matches all the likings of Vijji and his family. Soon the boy and girl start to like each other and as a result fall in love with each other. Sashank, Duvvasi, Mohan, srinu are the friends of Vijji and share a well bonded friendship with each other.
However the entry of the villain takes place in the film. Devraj (Ashutosh Rana) is a land grabber in the disguise of a MLA. He makes his riches by land grabbing and selling the occupied lands to NRI’s. He eyes on the lands of the housing board society in which Vijji’s father Tanikella owns a small plot. Devraj creates some fake documents in the eyes of law and becomes the owner of the total property. But in the meantime the original owner emerges as the grandfather of Mamta Mohan Das. His name is Kondal Rao. When he challenges the villainous MLA in court, Devraj hatches a plan and kills him.

Then the hero enters into the filed and starts his heroic activities. Vijji exposes Devraj and his activities and brings to an end all his evil deeds in the society. He then wins the total property and also his beloved Jannu (Mamta).

Performance

Nitin as usual looks well suited for the action sequences with his toned body. He flexes his muscles and his so called eight pack body and ends the Villains’ activities. His dialogue delivery and the expressions have to be polished more. His dancing and acting capabilities are above average.

Mamta Mohan Das looks cool in this film with not much skin show, only a little bit she acts well. Her role is minced and only restricts to some scenes and songs.

Sindhu Tolani looks gorgeous as a reported. She is turning into a hot bomb day by day. Her Chennai contacts are surely giving some results. She also manages to pull up the focus on to her through her dialogues as a TV reporter.

Ashutosh Rana of bollywood steals the show with his impeccable acting skills. His eyes speak a lot and his villain character is well elaborated in some scenes as a land grabber and also as a criminal in the disguise of a MLA.

Tanikella, Sana, Ranganath, Nutan Prasad (After a long time) Kondalk Rao have done their jobs very well.

The comedy bunch is made up of Duvassi, Brahmanandham, Ali, MS Narayana and Krishna Bhagvan. Their try to churn some laughs from the audience. Abhinaya sri plays the role of a wife to Brahmanandham. She plays the role of an unsatisfied wife with an aged husband. Finally she elopes with Ali. The scenes which involve Brahmanandham, Abhinaya sri, and Ali are double meaning weaved but are interesting with some elder content.

The songs and the fights are picturised well, but the sentiment element gets the audience a feeling that “Endhuku Vachammu Ra Ee Cinemaki”.

There is nothing much to be said about the film and on the whole this film of Nitin may live for 30 days the most. Or else if Nitin’s father Sudhakar reddy aims, then it can limp towards a 50 day mark.

Story:

A light hearted movie, the story is about Chandrashekar who is more dearly known as Chandu (Ram) who is a clever guy with the right looks and has enough courage in him to take up any challenge. Chandu also has a kind heart and is the first one to come up with solutions for the problems of his friends and dear ones. In this process, he helps his cousin Lakshmi (Tamannah) elope with her NRI lover (Navdeep) right on her wedding day. This causes Chandu to face the wrath of his family which comprises of the head Raghupathi (Nasser), father Raghava (Tanikella), uncle Rajaram (Chandramohan) along with their wives and kids. He comes out of the house and his various attempts to get back goes in vain. Meanwhile, in an effort to help his friend's love matter, Chandu goes along with his group of friends (Srinivas Reddy, Suman Shetty and others) and kidnaps Pooja (Genelia) right from the wedding venue. The group put their tongues in cheek when they realize that they went to the wrong venue and got the wrong bride. However, Pooja from her end is really happy since she is not interested in the wedding. Chandu falls for Pooja at the first sight and decides to win her heart at any cost. He takes her to wherever she wants to go and in this process chases happen, scenes happen and slowly romance also blossoms between the two but they don't express it to each other. In this escape situation, Chandu hatches a plan and makes Pooja land at his home and eventually he also gets inside with some story. The romance gets stronger between both and this is realized even by the family members. Just when everything looks smooth, Pooja's uncle Peddi Naidu (Kota) locates her and takes her along with him. Meanwhile, his rival brother Chitti Naidu (Jayaprakash Reddy) is also looking for Pooja since both brothers want to get her married to their sons respectively. Chandu arrives in the scene using his intelligence again and through the channel of McDonald Murthy (Brahmanandam) who happens to be the auditor for both brothers he gains entry. With a cleverly staged plot, he manages to reunite both brothers and now he has to ensure he gets married to Pooja. How does he do that? Will the Naidu brothers discover his real identity? All this forms the rest of the story.

Presentation:

The director has come out with a clean message and has given no confusion in putting his message across to the audience. The script was tight and he has come up with an equally good screenplay, the music was just above average and two numbers can be taken home, editing could have been better. The real soul of the movie is some stunning camerawork and some really witty dialogues which have kept the momentum on. Action sequences were not many but those that were there were neat and clean. Ram has come with a decent performance and though he does not come across a dynamic go getter, he sure displays enough intelligence to reach his goals. He needs to work more on his expressions and dialogue delivery which will help him in the future. Genelia looks pretty as ever and though her role was limited, she has performed her role with ease. Nasser did his role with the required grace while Kota sure portrayed the cold and icy look wherever required. Jayaprakash Reddy was theatrical but then his energy and distinct dialogue delivery always wins some real good points for his performance. Sunil did his bit with a novel approach while Dharmavarapu creates humor with his dialogue delivery more than the dialogues. Brahmanandam yet again came up with a stunner and has a lengthy role to play. The others like Sudha, MS, Chandramohan, Tanikella have added their bit and Srinivas Reddy is one actor to watch out for...

Conclusion:

The film has been deftly handled and the subject was put in a very entertaining manner. The first half gets off to a good start and has enough elements of romance, action, comedy with some songs. It is the second half which got a bit dull at few points but then the witty script and the clever handling of the script makes up for these setbacks. The film is more like a bigger and much enhanced version of the maker's previous hit 'Dhee' and will appeal to the family audience a great deal since there is no bloodshed, no vulgarity or double meaning dialogues. Barring few hitches such as the forced inclusion of songs, dragging scenes in the second half, the film overall has come out as a hearty entertainer with the essential commercial values and it will find its way to success smoothly.
