Janatha Garage

Unlike other movies, JG is not Hero Centric film. In this movie "Janatha Garage" itself plays a main role where justice is served to the people in need. Mohanlal essayed the role of a people's man in good way while Jr NTR again shown new variation as a Nature Lover & environmental sciences student, NTR excelled his role very neatly with fresh Screen Presence, the Simple Attire of NTR like a normal guy to next door, new voice modulation all worked out well for Anand (JNTR) Character.

Mohanlal & Jr NTR excelled once again where their performance is concerned. Samantha, Nithya Menon got limited roles but got some scope to act, Rajiv Kanakala got very Gud character while other artists like Suresh, Devyani, Unni Mukundan, Saikumar..all had done their job gud. The camera work done by Thiru is top-notch and Art work done by AS Prakash were very huge. Music by Devi Sri Prasad is Nice but not upto Janatha Garage mark as it has huge canvas he didn't matched that level but BGM in some scenes is very Good, all songs are situational based and lyrics by Ramajogayya Sastry are Superb for Rockon Bro, Pranamam songs. Story - screenplay - direction by Koratala Siva, he got very nice subject and he almost succeeded in making it. Editing is Not Great, some unnecessary lengthy scenes can be edited but they kept full scene as it is, but Editing those scenes would have make the movie more crispier. Coming to Dance, we all know that NTR is one of the Best Dancers in India. Pakkalocal b/w Kajal, NTR came out very well where it gave good boosting for mass audience.

Jr NTR is to be appreciated as his greatness lies in letting Mohanlal also dominate the film. No other Telugu star hero would have allowed such a dominant and powerful role of Mohanlal to co-exist in a story. This film is a must watch with family where it got all ingredients like Family Drama, Emotions, Comedy, Action, Social Awareness.

Janatha Garage is not your regular popcorn entertainer which Tollywood churns out every week. It is a character-driven film where the onus is on serious emotions. Though NTR performs brilliantly, Mohan Lal gets a prominent role and this might not go well with NTR's fans. Music by Devi Sri Prasad is a huge plus as all the songs have been composed quite well. Devi's background score in the second half elevates the proceedings to a decent level. Production values of the film are pretty good. Camera work is superb as Hyderabad and Mumbai have been showcased in a wonderful light. Dialogues written by Koratala Shiva are meaningful. Editing is below average as the film needs to be trimmed by at least 15 minutes. Coming to the director Koratala Shiva, he has done just an okay job with the film. Though his thought is good, he takes too much time to establish the story as the film catches steam only after the first half. He makes things predictable and ends the film on a simple note.The film will appeal to the general audience more than the fans. Finally, if you ignore the predictable story line, you may give this film a shot.

Janatha Garage is a movie which boldly lacks key entertainment elements that are comedy and good dialogues.However, the movie still pleases somewhat with a realistic emotion. The movie cannot even be tolerated for the second time but if you watch the movie not expecting comedy and good dialogues, you are likely to appreciate the direction of Koratala Siva and acting prowess of Mohanlal and NTR.

The movie bears the story of helping the society which seems to be a common theme in the movies of Koratala Shiva. The story seems very familiar and cliché but few elements in the storyline seem new and realistic only due to the realistic direction and acting.

Negatives:

No attention on details ( for example on showing Bomb blasts, Rajeev Kanakala's reason for denial), ridiculously boring dialogues, lack of sense of humor for any character.

Positives:

Humility NTR has depicted in contrast to his previous movies, complete acting team,direction.
