Yevadu

Here's what you need to know for committing nearly three hours to this action flick: 1 - There are two sequential interlocking stories starring the same hero against different sets of crime lords in different cities via a fairly unique bridge. That's why the first a-hole is dealt with when your watch tells you half of the running time is still ahead.

2 - Ram Charan is a worthy successor to guys like Ajay Devgn and John Abraham who cranked out plenty of similar action flicks before him. Got the looks; got the moves; projects the integrity to stand alone against oppressors and their hordes of minions, inspiring the oppressed.

3 - If you're also a pushover for those man vs. Mob fight sequences with slo-mo and stop-motion highlighting, this one delivers in fine style, with a generous display of blood and gore.

4 - More eye candy in the production numbers than usual - especially thanks to relatively revealing costumes in the first half. Lovely women gracing a pair of romantic subplots. Supporting cast includes many who add considerable heart and/or occasional chuckles to the proceedings.

5 - A few of the villains chew too much scenery, but not badly enough to ruin the package.

6 - Overall, more story and action than many films of comparable length. Not a classic, but you've probably sat through worse. I certainly have.

Well as speculated and rumored previously that this film is a copy of 1999 Hollywood blockbuster 'Face/Off' have been proved as partial truths as the movie is not a copy but rather an inspiration from that flick. When it comes to the plot , the film has two different stories , one for first half and the other for the rest and connected through an incident. It's like watching two movies for a single ticket. One story is the same old revenge flick while the other one is society and evil based. Ram Charan as usual , rocked with his dance moves. Kajal , Amy and Shruti did okay with whatever they had to. Jaya Sudha gaaru just made the mother's character even more powerful with her performance. Sai Kumar gaaru were just an added attraction. Without Allu Arjun this movie isn't possible , hence a special mention. Screenplay was routine and cinematography was just good. DSP rocked it all the way. Director sticked to the basic mass masala formula that is running in TFI presently and didn't at all try any new things , precisely routine direction.

The director, Vamsi, is only a few movies old, but the manner in which he introduces the characters and puts forth the story is commendable. Yevadu is an out and out entertainer and doesn't let the mass enthusiasts down.

Just like any revenge drama, the movie involves the protagonist's loved one being killed and how the hero in turn gets his revenge. But the part in between the entire drama is what makes Yevadu special. The story is very fresh but the mass elements give it a jaded approach. The story has twists but quiet a few of them are easily predictable.

Acting wise Ram Charan was good, his body language and emotions were spot on. And yes his dance moves were good but not very extraordinary. And one draw back of Ram Charan is his hair style, its been the same since Racha and he has to try out new styles. Kajal came and went doing what was needed of her. Amy Jackson's role was not chalked out well and her part might have not been required, she seems to have an overdose of make up. But in her song with Ram Charan, she gives the viewers a generous display of her voluptuousness and looked ravishing in that song. Shruti Haasan's role was not powerful enough but made her presence felt in the form of songs.

Veteran Jayasudha gets a brilliant character loaded with powerful dialogues. The others did their part as required.

Though Yevadu might have subtle similarities with Rajamouli's movies, it still has all the elements that a movie needs to become a hit. But there have been loads of such movies, but its the story that deserves a mention.

Yevadu _ My Review

Yes, Yevadu has got a very interesting story line,but falls short to some extent due to the easily predictable poor narration and inevitable logic less flaws.

Coming to the story, Sathya's lover Deepthi is killed in front of him and being incapable of fighting them, he is also brutally attacked and the bus in which they were,is burnt. But surprisingly,Satya escapes death by a half burnt face and 70%burns on the body. When the doctors too leave him, a lady doc takes the risk of saving him and, by a surgery, she gives him a "new face". Then, with the new face, Satya seeks revenge on the villains. The plot of the film ends in the first half ends, with an exciting bang in the interval, growing excitement among the viewers.

The first half of the movie was dangerously fast, with some unwanted and failed comedies of Brahmanandam. Only that TV show sequence evoked few wits. But the second half seemed to reiterate the usual story. The second half, even, drew similarities with that of Nayak. A better second half could have made out Yevadu a remarkable film.

Vamsi Paidipally is successful to some extent to make Yevadu a mass film with different plot. He copied, sorry..... Inspired the basic theme of #Face Off, and planted it into the most heard, usual revenge drama. But he isn't successful here. In the film, we can see a Ramcharan coming out after, Allu Arjun undergoes surgery. The biggest flaw is regarding the Voices. A viewer may doubt, how a person's voice and physique changes after a plastic surgery... There are many such sequences, for eg. The police offices, chasing the target "alone", by driving the jeep.....just a qn of logic. The most ironical scene is that, "when Ram Charan hits an enormous gate with his hand, it just explodes into pieces" Hmmmm.....even superman may get jealous of him.... Let it be, these are common in Telugu films, but the makers must remember one thing that, All the Viewers aren't fools.

#Ram Charan carries the film on his shoulders with his heavy action and foot tapping steps. But he always had only one expression on his face....wanna improve a lot in that section...

There were too many villains and unwanted heroines in the movie. Amy Jackson offered a beach song....bikniwala song. Shruthi had 2 songs and Kajal got 1. It is better not to mention abt the actress.

The Villains, i don't remember the number, were each of them inspired from each super hit films. The tollywood villain pack was complete with, a politician, a gunda, a land mafia wala, his goons, Hench boys, a mafia don, bro of mafia don and an inevitable police officer.

Brahmanandam was wasted in the movie.

Even though, Ram Charan tops high, #Allu Arjun's cameo appearance in 2 scenes seemed more impact able. That hand drawn picture of Allu Arjun just, roared the theater.

#DSP offered average tunes, with the song, "Cheliya Cheliya" offering a good feel.

Action sequences were of top notch with good cinematography. But certain sequences seemed very much familiar.

The tollywood tradition of slapping and extragerration is continued here.

A better narration, correct use of available characters and, some corrections in script could've done better.

Overall, Yevadu is a mass film with different theme, which slowly draws itself into the class of usual revenge dramas.

My Rating: 2.5/5

Thank You for Reading My Review.... Yours Truly Sooraj

Once again it has proved Ram Charan's stamina at box office. He is excellent in Dance, fights, performance. AlluArjun, even though he has played a role of minutes, his expressions are at peaks. And coming to the turning points in the movie, they will definitely surprise the audience. Audience went crazy when they saw their favorite actors like Chiranjeevi, Pawan Kalyan on the screen. And with a good script, Vamshi has done his job well. DSP once again proved himself especially the BGM. Dil Raju will be the happy man as it is going to rule the theaters this week

Finally, its a bumper bonanza for audience on this festive eve.
