Disco Raja

It's really very good experimental movie with awesome moments n brilliant acting by Ravi Teja , this is far better n brilliant movie than the crappy ' Sarileru Neekevvaru '

Story Movie story starts of by showcasing a research team who bring a dead man alive. He is none other than Disco Raj who has a dreaded past featuring Sethu. Upon knowing his flashback, Disco Raja starts hunting for Sethu.. POSITIVES The film starts with a good couple of highly sketched scenes..the intro of all the characters without any lag was pretty Mass.Maharaj.Raja RAVI TEJA deserves a round of applauds for his stupendous performance in this film.. Interval band was okay...the second half was good.. Songs are well picturized with excellent background score by the music director SS THAMAN..the dialouges are well written especially the Hindi dialouges spoken by the hero.. The flashback episode is worth watching... Scientific films are much based on the concept rather than commercial elements. But this movie is based on the fan following of the hero in the youth..comedy is okay...the climax and pre climax are unavoidable and unforgettable and you are going to witness actor SUNIL in a different kind of a role for the first time... Both the heroines performed well in their roles. The scientific concept is just mesmerizing at the same time not well written by the director..the antagonist of the film BOBBY SIMHA had got a good score for performance and he has done well.. NEGATIVES the film focuses much on RAVI TEJA rather than the subject.. Commercialisation had ruined the film.. It could have been told in a different way.. The screenplay lacks timing..the flashback episodes seem dull and uninteresting by seeing the hair styles and dressing strikes of the performers.. they wasted NABHA NATESH talent and she could be seen only for10to20 minutes of time.. The film could have been made completely differently..add it is became predictable at the interval.. The antagonist of the film BURMA SETHU is just the extension or continuation of ASSAULT SETHU IN JIGARTHANDA..his face and everything looked same as jigarthanda..and poor make up for him at the flashback and present episodes.. RESULT ONCE WATCH.. MUST IF YOU ARE A FAN OF MASS MAHARAJA AND SCIFI FILMS... RATING 3/5

Positive points : Ravi teja , Production values , cinematography , music

Negative : confusing screenplay , bore 2nd half , un satisfying end

Thaman's retro music is a big pro for this film, BGM was a big booster for the overall film, though it was repetitive, it still wasn't boring. Without music & bgm, this film is nothing more than the usual telugu cinema crap.

Ravi teja's usual jovial performance does work out really well for the kinda characterisation of the protagonist.

The plot revolves around madras but very little Tamil reference was given with just a handful of roles throughout the film and that was a bummer the way Telugu over Tamil was being portrayed was thankfully broken in the climax twist and hence it becomes a likable film for audiences from both the regions/states.

The double action was required just for the twist, otherwise, the 2nd character didn't add any value or wasn't characterized well or wasn't used at all.

And as usual, the heroine's character was useless although the disabled heroine's character did add value to the film.

And Bobby Simha's character naming matching his classic role in the Tamil film Jigarthanda doesn't seem to be coincidental.

The story & screenplay was good enough with a decent mix of twists sprinkled but still, somehow it feels like the film is just like other Telugu films only and nothing much.

Overall, it is a one-time watchable one for commercial/masala film viewers.

Disco Raja Review: -----------------------------

An unexpected kind of movie from an unexpected actor with an unexpected twist.

This movie can't be categorized to one particular kind of genre. It's a mix of Sci-fi, action, Crime, Thriller and Comedy entertainer.

Movie begins on an interesting not but goes routine in sometime and becomes a regular pattern, but the kind of presentation is what holds the audience interest if something interesting gonna happen which never happens.

Mass MahaRaj as Disco Raja was good. As usual joshful and energetic action with no overacting.

Songs are good and goes in the flow of story, so don't feel like watching songs.

All heroines have limited screen presence but were good in their roles.. Payal got good role.

Comedy is fine.. (Vennala Kishore)

Bobby Simha as Usual at his best but his characterization is poorly designed. Looks powerful but no much impact.

Sunil was impressive.

Definitely this kind of movies are not going to be money spinners at box office irrespective of the talk.

There is nothing much to say on highlights nor negatives very specifically.

Pros: ------- * Visually good with high production values. * Content and Screenplay * FreakOut song and BGM

Cons: -------- * Narration goes at slow pace at placesplaces. .

Rating: 2.75/5

Final Verdict: One time watch (with no expectations)
