Zebra

Just watched the Satyadev Zebra movie. I thought it was okay. Lucky Bhaskar, Money Hist is well seen with comparisons in the Movies Series.

When it comes to the story, Satyadev is a bank employee. His girlfriend Swati is also a bank employee. One day, due to Swati typing wrongly in the customer details system in her bank, the money that went to one goes to others. Then Pandu (Satyadev) solves the problem because he is a bank employee. He finds the existing loop holes and solves the problem by making the money return. How he dealt with those problems should be seen on the screen.

But the screenplay is a bit confusing so it is not connected to the common people. Because the old story has to be told in a new way. The money heist scene in the movie is good, but the drama in the middle is not so good. The duration is a bit long, so the audience has to be patient. The rest is good.

Satya Deva has acted very well. It is a different character for him. He is also a hero who looks like a villain of Dali Dhanunjay. He has also done well. Priya Bavani Shankar has done well as far as he is ok. In this movie he has done a good relief in the character of Satya. All the other characters are good in their range Acted. Overall Movie good watch theaters.

Blockbuster action movie.storyline is good,screenplay is superb.he is furious in the film &is expected from the director. Satyadev performance top notch.lots of twists. Bomma super hit. Extraordinary screen play extraordinary screen presence by Satyadev Dhananjay, over all it's blockbuster. Editor and Music Director did the great job. Satyaraj screen presence is so good, Satya Akala comedy is good, priyabhavani Shankar is done her job.

Zebra unravels a gripping tale of love and sacrifice, as characters tread the fine line between right and wrong in their quest for survival. Dhananjay very level performance.

Zebra is 2024 Indian Telugu language action thriller film, co written and directed by Eashvar Karthic produced by Bala Sundaram, S. N. Reddy, and Dinesh Sundaram under, Old Town Pictures and Padmaja Films Pvt Ltd., respectively. The film stars Satyadev, Dhananjaya, Sathyaraj, Priya Bhavani Shankar and Amrutha Iyengar. The music was composed by Ravi Basrur and the film was released on 22 November 2024.

The unique approach to the banking scams genre and the atmospheric tension are highlight and strengths of the film.

Satyadev as the determined bank employee , brings a measured intensity to the role, effectively portraying both the character's sharp analytical mind and inner turmoil. His restrained yet powerful acting style helps ground the film's more complex narrative elements.

Apart of satyadev all the other actors have done a terrific job. Eshwar Karthik the director has done a fantastic job by seamlessly blending commercial elements with content-driven storytelling, showing particular attention to technical aspects like cinematography and background score.

He has shown an ability to extract natural performances from his actors, preferring realistic portrayals over melodramatic ones. The way he builds tension gradually, using visual storytelling alongside dialogue is terrific.

Overall It's a must watch theatrical experience 💯

The core story that the film wants to convey and barely managed to is really good! It's interesting, has a lot of potential for a 2hrs 40mins runtime and sounds exciting on paper but in execution, it fails almost until the climax.

The screenplay is confusing and the pacing doesn't quite sit right. The dialogues are also a mixed bag, some good but mostly poor cheap dialogues.

The songs were so unnecessary and just killed all the interest but with the pacing they felt more like a break for the mind (although they were so bad I would want a break for the songs).

In terms of the editing, there are some cool elements with the character cards and the stages of the heist which kept it engaging and entertaining. Some of the comedy was alright - mainly Satya's comedy was enjoyable. But, some boring cheesy comedy that brought the film down. Again, unnecessary.

What annoyed me the most was the imitation in trying to be KGF - with the music (scored by Ravi so makes sense), screenplay(fast pacing) and the cinematography. Blatantly copied KGF. Could've been more original.

Nothing remarkable in terms of performances, I've seen better Satyadev action and movies.

Overall, it's a 5/10 for me, not great but not unbearably horrible either.
