Temper

I used to hate NTR for only one reason, why a talented hero like him acts always in dumb and stereotype movies like Brundavanam, Dhammu, Baadhshah, Rabhasa etc., which doesn't require a talented hero like NTR. I wanted to see him in movies with some different concepts or at least thrillers.

Temper is the one which satisfied me with the role NTR played. Puri pulled the best out of NTR. Even people who doesn't like NTR will start liking him after watching Temper.

Dialogs and comedy are perfectly placed. Songs are addictive after repeated listening. BGM could be done better. Not the Puri's best but definitely one of the best movies in recent times.

I have seen it 3 times and enjoyed equally every time.

Temper: Sooraj Pattazhy's Review

Since Nenokkadine, only one telugu movie made me stick to ma seat during its climax. That is Temper. Yes, trendsetter Puri Jagannath is back with the 'actor' in Jr.NTR.

|Plot Sub Inspector Daya is a corrupt, brutal and cunning police officer,who is ready to go to any extent for making money. But he is stuck in a gruesome tragedy which opens a new beginning. The plot may seem usual one, but what Puri has is the store is a stunner.

|Making Trendsetter is what industry calls Puri Jagannath and Temper justifies it. He not only sets the trend in showing a Telugu hero in a never seen image, but also by offering a sentimental foundation for the script.

Vakkatnam Vamsi's story of a corrupt cop transforming is well scripted by the director. The way the movie travels and the unexpected surprises it opens to, really impresses the viewer.

The movie is free from unwanted action, bouncing of Hench men and mainly form crap comedies. Still, Temper has the traditional elements of a Telugu entertainer, which pulls it from being a classic.

Those small yet unwanted comedies of Ali, Saptagiri and idiotic behaviour of Kajal and Kovai Sarala could've been avoided or taken care of. The songs which come in between creates a great disturbance in the continuity ,even though they are beautifully made.

The stunning factor of the movie is its climax. Those penultimate moments of the movie was a scream. Those dialogues and performance of NTR stunned me. I didn't expect such surprises in the movie. Kudos to Puri for making Temper more of a sentimental-socially relevant drama than a time pass entertainer. Had he took care in the first half, Temper would have been a classic.

Dialogues were of top class,especially the ones between Posani and NTR about corruption. The ones in court scene too sparks thrill.

The movie also raises questions regarding the loops in our law which offers freedom for any criminal to commit crime. The movie also draws light on the corrupt system and problems faced by women. Kudos to Puri Jagannath for including this factor.

| Performances Jr NTR proves that the actor in him is still alive. One of the best performances in the recent times and the best form him. Hope he does non-stereo characters of these kind, rather than those in the masala entertainers. His dance moves were amazing as usual.

The next notable performance is from Posani. Never expected this form him. Prakash Raj rocks as usual while Tanikella Bharani touches our heart with his short role. Madhurima too exposed good acting skills,whereas Kajal revealed more skin. Kajal was just meant for that and for dancing in songs which come in equal intervals. The roles of Ali and Saptagari were purely unnecessary. There is even no trace of them after a few scenes.

| Technical Side Made in a ₹40cr+ budget,the movie was rich and had great visuals. Cinematography by Satyam K Naidu had novel frames, especially at those action sequences. The director's expertise in presenting mass scenes with greater elevation was visible on screen.

Songs by Anoop Rubens were good and foot tapping, especially Temper and item songs. BGM by Mani Sharma was good at parts. Had a great mass appeal at certain sequences, while the ones at certain moments seemed familiar.

Editing was good. Especially, those non-abusive cuts of torture. Action sequences were clean without more-than-a-human touch. That last fight scene was superb.

If we ignore those cliché elements in the first half, Temper is a stunning entertainer,which tops high due to brilliant performance by NTR and Puri's unconventional approach.

My Rating: 7.5/10 This Temperature won't be temporary...!

Sandhya 35MM at RTC X Roads had a fully packed house with heavy returns for the morning show on 14/2/2015. Thank You,

This film is better than the awful Simmba. Ranvir Bhavnani is an overhyped actor who cannot match NTR.

When ever a film from NTR comes out, there will be a lot of expectations on that film as he is considered as one of the finest actors in contemporary Indian cinema. His last two films are not up to the mark but with this film, he is back with a bang.

The film starts off with good note but starts to drop down the graph during mid first half. However, film quickly gains momentum moving into the main plot and engages the audience till the end. Second half of the film is superb with the phenomenal performance of lead actor NTR and well supported side role by Posani. Play between these two characters are written so well that these 2 characters form total crux in the main plot. Confrontation scenes between these two characters are superbly handled. Film reaches its emotional peak at the climax which is superbly elevated by a totally unexpected twist.

This film is must watch for all sensible movie lovers and Indian cinema fans for the stellar performance of NTR, superb writing and Jagan's direction.

PS: No need to mention about his dances. He excelled in dances in this film.

GOOD:- First of all, NTR-JR is seen in a new avatar. That is something refreshing in the movie. Movie is good throughout and entertains the people well. Biggest advantage being the director's trademark dialogs which are even electrifying when delivered by the protagonist. First half is okay with healthy comedy and second half is the show stopper with excellent climax scene which makes you re-believe in the potential of the Kingpin and the protagonist. Major asset in the movie is the BGM by Manisharma and the transcendent dance moves by NTR-JR.

BAD:- As my title suggests, it is a feast for fans. It might not be very pleasing for family audience as the confabulations were bit vulgar and has lots of vagueness. Romance didn't work out that well between the protagonists and that was a poor plot. Couldn't use the full potential of the comedians Ali and Ramesh, maybe the plot didn't support their appearance further. Could have used JP well and given justification for his role in the movie. One might wonder after some time, about the protagonist's new avatar as all the dialogs seems to be yelling rather than being delivered. One might think that the movie has some plots relating to Rakhi and Lakshminarasimha. (Latter might not be very descry)

Verdict:- Good movie with a new avatar. I personally enjoyed the movie and is definitely a one-time watch, period.
