I love this movie a lot. Hyper is a film that tries to balance comedy, action, romance, and sentiment, but fails to do justice to any of them. The film is predictable, cliched, and over-the-top, with a weak plot and a lackluster screenplay. The film borrows elements from several other films, such as Janatha Garage, Julayi, and Race Gurram, but does not offer anything new or original. The film relies heavily on the performance of Rao Ramesh, who plays the villain with flair and charisma. He is the only saving grace of the film, as he delivers some witty dialogues and expressions. The rest of the cast, including Ram and Raashi Khanna, are mediocre and have nothing much to do. Ram tries to impress with his energetic dance moves and stunts, but his character is poorly written and lacks depth. Raashi Khanna is reduced to a glamor doll, who has no role in the story except to look pretty and sing songs with Ram. The film also wastes the talents of veteran actors like Sathyaraj and Murali Sharma, who have very little screen time and impact.
The film's music, composed by Ghibran, is average and forgettable, except for the catchy song Baby Doll. The film's cinematography, by Sameer Reddy, is decent and captures the colorful locales of Vizag and Hyderabad. The film's editing, by Gowtham Raju, is choppy and inconsistent, as the film drags on for more than two hours.
