Rama Rao on Duty

The basic concept of movie is good . Story is good .

But the direction is big let down ,some actors / actress acting is very foolish , music and songs are rubbish .

Emotions are not convincing . Hero charecterization is not that good .

Script is Garbage, Direction is Senseless.

Raviteja is okay, female leads and all other actors are under utilised.

Venu is wasted.

Cinematography and Action Choreography is good.

Music and Editing are poor.

Not worth watching.

What works in this movie is entire story narration. Slowly picks up and natural performance of chracters. Praising ramarao character only one thing that bothered alot bcoz its toomuch. Best fights. Good songs. I like the villain portion episode operation mayam. John vijay character is good. I did not understand some portion when he explains how hero found missing men. But when i rewind and played it back, its nice. Interval scene is very good and venu character is nice. HIs voice seems to be dubbed by someone else and not good otherwise his body language is very entertaining. Big character after long time. If there is sequel, his character is nice. Pushpa connection in the end on milk tank is good idea but not sure how it going to be linked. Its a proper Tamil movie :) frankly. Good time pass with loads of content.

Leave the songs, though they look gd separately and not necessary for this kind of movie, The story narration is great. If you want to understand and enjoy the nmovie, watch it 2nd time.. The red sanders smuggling process explanation was eye opener and its so detailing unlike in other movies came with same backdrop. The best aspect of this movie screenplay is how it uses several investigations to reveal the mystery. Internal twist was unexpected but missing something, may be usual camera and editing opticals. Best fights in recent days and i like the train fight a lot and watched repeat. Hindi dubbing is not that well but i watched some portions in original. The item song is good. I didnot like portion when suddenly song comes in when serious scenes are going on. I think this director has no experience in placing songs. His unique style of narration of scenes and story is very good though.

The movie is no way your typical Raviteja movie. No comedy, no silly banter and no unnecessary hyping of the hero. The story is well-written. The way the plot builds, adding layer after layer of mystique will definitely keep you engaged. The actors' talent shines through, and I applaud the director for managing to make good use of each and every character. For a setting in 1995, the cinematography is excellent. I was appreciative of the fact that this wasn't done in your typical commercial movie style.

There were some elements in the story that do fail to make sense though. They are easy to spot so I won't mention them. And sometimes, Raviteja's expressions fail to match the plot of the scene as if he doesn't understand the context of the setting. Same with the dialogues: they don't make all that much sense at points.

But overall, a good movie for a Friday night if you have nothing at hand. And Raviteja does prove that he indeed is not a one-trick pony.
