Jack

Nice movie enjoyed it was Siddhus show he gave very good performance the action sequence and a different flavor. Vaishnavi was great too..wish it had more twists in the movie. The train seen was excellent. Siddhu's dance was super cool. Overall I liked it. More thriller with part 2 with twists for..Siddu..is extremely talented..he shud be given more flavor s in the movie...with double roles. It's a decent entertainer. However story line is great wish bb the director should have added more comedy seens and track b/w siddu and vaishnavi love track and Thriller. Everyone performance is great. Siddhu was the best Jack as usual and all the best to the team. Songs are decent, action was great the background music during action sequence was cool. Pablo neruda song is cool. Ok brahmaji..seens i thought there will be more comedy seens or some role connected from him. I guess we as audience think with more expectations but this movie was pretty straightforward not a thriller or any role that you will feel as twisted. Overall one time watch and good entertainment.

Jack (2025) is a Telugu film that may not have hit the mark at the box office, but for some viewers like me, it still offers an enjoyable ride - mainly because of its unique central character and a performance that stands out.

Siddhu Jonnalagadda shines in his role as Pablo Neruda alias "Jack", a passionate R&AW aspirant caught between ambition, identity, and chaos. His portrayal brings a certain charisma and unpredictability to the film that keeps you invested, even when the narrative dips.

The story itself is above average - not groundbreaking, but serviceable. It has enough intrigue and character moments to hold your attention, even if it doesn't always deliver on its potential. The pacing is uneven at times, and some subplots feel undercooked. However, it's Siddhu's energy and screen presence that glue the film together.

Unfortunately, Jack has suffered from a wave of negative reviews and didn't do well commercially, which is disappointing. While it's far from perfect, it's not entirely deserving of the harsh criticism either. The movie has flaws, yes - but also heart.

Verdict: Jack may not be for everyone, but if you appreciate strong performances and are open to a slightly offbeat, character-driven story, it's worth a watch.

Movie Review: "Jack" (Telugu) - A Misfire from Bommarillu Bhaskar

"Jack" is one of those films that leaves you wondering how a seasoned director like Bommarillu Bhaskar, known for emotionally rich and family-oriented films, could come up with something so disappointing. After watching the film, I found myself questioning not just the story, but every major decision behind the making of this movie. From casting to screenplay, from acting to editing - everything feels like a missed opportunity.

Let's begin with the most obvious problem: the hero's performance. The lead actor, whose name is relatively new in the industry, delivers one of the most forgettable performances I've seen in recent times. His expressions are forced, his dialogue delivery is flat, and his screen presence is utterly lacking. It's hard to connect with the protagonist or feel any empathy toward his journey because the actor himself doesn't seem to believe in what he's doing. A hero must carry the emotional weight of a film, but here, he simply drags it down.

Then comes Prakash Raj, a seasoned actor known for his powerful screen presence and emotional intensity. But in "Jack," he goes completely overboard. His acting feels theatrical and unnecessarily loud. Instead of enhancing the emotional quotient of the movie, he becomes a source of irritation. His role is written in a way that is supposed to be impactful, maybe even heart-touching, but the execution is poor, and his overacting ruins whatever little potential the role had.

The storyline is another letdown. The film doesn't seem to have a clear direction. It tries to be a love story, a family drama, a self-discovery journey, and a commercial entertainer - all at once - but fails to excel in any department. The narrative is painfully predictable and lacks emotional depth. Scenes that are meant to be dramatic feel artificial and manipulative. There's no emotional hook to keep the audience invested.

Dialogues are bland and repetitive. Instead of making us think or feel, they often make us cringe. Attempts at humor fall flat. Even supposedly serious scenes feel unintentionally funny. It's almost like the writers forgot what emotion they were trying to convey in each scene.

The direction by Bommarillu Bhaskar is shockingly weak. Known for giving us heartfelt films like "Bommarillu" and "Parugu," one expects a certain emotional intelligence and sensitivity in his work. But "Jack" lacks any of that charm or maturity. The characters are one-dimensional, the screenplay is messy, and the pacing is painfully slow. Bhaskar seems to have lost his touch in connecting with the audience. It's hard to believe the same director who gave us Siddu and Genelia's lovable chemistry in "Bommarillu" has now directed this chaotic, soulless film.

Music and background score are forgettable. None of the songs stay with you. They appear randomly and often interrupt the flow of the story, which is already struggling. The background music tries to add emotion where the scenes fail but ends up sounding like a desperate attempt to force feelings onto the audience.

Cinematography is decent in parts, but there's nothing particularly unique or visually striking. The locations are standard, the framing lacks creativity, and the visuals do little to elevate the storytelling.

Editing is another weak point. Scenes linger for too long, transitions feel abrupt, and overall pacing is inconsistent. Some scenes could have easily been cut without affecting the story, while others needed better buildup.

Even the supporting cast is underutilized. The heroine's role is underwritten, and there is zero chemistry between the lead pair. The romantic track feels forced and rushed. There is no natural development of their relationship, making it hard to root for them.

If I had to sum it up, "Jack" is a film that had potential but is marred by poor execution on all fronts. It's a perfect example of how even talented directors can go off track when the basics are ignored. A good film starts with a good script, but here, everything feels half-baked.

As a viewer, I felt no emotional connection, no excitement, and certainly no satisfaction after watching this film. It tested my patience and made me appreciate the value of storytelling done right. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone, unless they're curious about how a film can go so wrong in so many ways.

In conclusion, "Jack" is a disaster of a film, made worse by bad acting, a weak story, and confused direction. Bommarillu Bhaskar may have taken a big risk with this one, but unfortunately, it didn't pay off. If anything, it serves as a reminder that name and experience alone can't save a film without heart and soul.

They try to give rollercoaster of emotions but it failed. Story was good but some changes had to made and could present with much better screenplay some characters were unwanted and irritating like detective girl and she was getting into trouble again and again also raw portrayed in wrong way they should have used other name for agency and at every point it wasn't feeling comedy movie also unserious...

Nothing new about this movie. Supernaturally talented hero, pretty looking girl who has no role in the movie and bunch of so called RAW agents who are clueless yet become greatest shooters by the end of the movie. Few good double crossings but really not a 2025 movie. Might have been a hit 20 years ago. I wouldn't waste my time watching this movie. Songs aren't bad either. Movie stays far from reality where the difference between hero and villan is immense.

Not sure what the director had in mind but I wouldn't spend a time trying to promote this movie.

It sure is good if you want to fall asleep as you'll know what the ending is at the beginning of the movie.
