The Ghost

I always look for these kind of genres which are rare. Praveen tried to make a slick action thriller, he wants to do something like Hollywood movies like John wick, man on fire.

Background score is okay.

Nag is terrific and so doesn't other actors.

Only problem is that Praveen couldn't make a proper script. Action is good but Nag never had problem. He killed everyone with ease, never got connected to emotions. A good opportunity goes wasted. Praveen sattaru can definitely make a better movie, his approach towards story is not good but we can laud his idea of filmmakingz

We can appreciate the attempt but fall short A glossy costly flop but a part of me appreciates the attempt.

Just watched The Ghost on Netflix and I must tell that it is not-so-bad but decent action-packed entertainer for action movie lovers with power-packed action sequences and performances being the highlight of the film.

After a decent family outing 'Bangarraju' and fantasy film 'Brahmastra', Nagarjuna is back in his beast mode like the actor's previous movie 'Shiva' and Keanu Reeves's 'John Wick' and has brought out acting chops well. His fans would really like his intense mode in the film. Sonal Chauhan's role is not typical and is superb in action sequences. Watch her killing mode in the climax sword fight. Gul Palang did her best in her role as a businesswoman-cum-caring mother and 'Yennai Arindhaal' Anikha Surendran also did well in her role. Other actors like Ravi Varma, Srikanth Iyengar and Manish Chaudhari also did well in their roles.

The film's action sequences are the plus points of the film as they are well choreographed by Dilip Subbarayan and Kecha Khampadkee, and provides thrills. Music by Bharatt-Saurabh is forgettable snd unnecessary for a violent action film, but the background score by Mark. K. Robin is superb. Cinematography and editing helps the film and is good. Now Coming to director Praveen Sattaru, he has done a superb job by showcasing Nagarjuna in a stylish way and deserves mention for the action sequences. However, the antagonist characterization is weak and emotional weight is not effective. If the director would have taken care of these things, then it would have been converted into a franchise like John Wick.

Barring all these things, The Ghost can be enjoyed with its cast performances, action sequences and background score, but the antagonist characterization, emotional weight has spoilt it. Overall, this is a review from a normal-audience movie junk and watch this action packed-entertainer on Netflix with decent expectations for action film lovers.

Telugu mass cinema has never been one for logic and realism, but certain films insult the intelligence of audiences so much that they become unwatchable after a certain point. "Ghost" from Nagarjuna is one such barrage of endless cliches stuffed between some well-choreographed action sequences, that tests your patience while giving you a massive headache from the mayhem going on pointlessly on screen.

Superstar Nagarjuna stars as "Vikram" an ex-Interpol agent who is forced to come out of retirement after some business rivals threaten his sister (Gul Panag) and her family. Aided by his ex-flame "Priya" (Sonal Chauhan), how he turns the tables on the people out to harm them form the rest of this super-cliched, oft-repeated storyline.

Director Praveen Sattaru who had previously delivered the National Award-winning romance anthology "Chandamama Kathalu" in 2014, is clearly out of sorts in this film and was unable to leverage the talented cast he had at his disposal. Nagarjuna's trademark style and panache is utilized only in the action sequences, with the dialogue and confrontations with the antagonists lacking any real tension, suspense or mass elevation.

The stunt choreography from Dinesh Subbarayan and Kecha are the lone saving grace of the film, although why an ex-Interpol supercop has to resort to katana swords to tackle gun-wielding gangsters is beyond me. It also doesn't help matters that these stylish fight sequences are interspersed between large, boring sections of plot points and contrived twists that you can see coming from a mile away.

Nagarjuna, Sonal Chauhan and Anikha Surendran turn in the best possible performances given the laughably inept scripts they were given to work with, but cannot save this film from being anything but an eyesore and an earsore. "Ghost" will be a difficult watch for even the most hardcore of Nagarjuna fans and is definitely not recommended! Avoid at all costs!

Good byt could have been better. They tried but still falls short. Nagarjuna was good and most of the cast were given decent performance. Some of the scenes were real good but some felt cringe and overdone. Could have left the family drama out of the movie and we would have gotten a shorter runtime and basically a better picture. Sword fights which I looked forward to was a letdown other than at some instances. They were not using the proper stance which anyone in this day and age can know with the help of Internet. Small things like that could have elvated the movie more , overall its just a one time watch decent movie with some lag and the bgm gets old too soon as it is played most if the runtime.

The Only Good thing about this movie is Sonal Chauhan, someone after so many years realised that she can be a better action star. Rest everything is waste of money, time and stamina. I wonder how come this people are wasting so much money for cringy stuff like this. Nagarjuna should take a retirement now, his age was visible in every scene. Gul Panag was wasted like never before. Other actors are also almost wasted. The major disappointment of this one is the story. It starts with a bang and ends up with nothing. All Said And Done simply give it a pass unless you are a diehard fan of Sonal chauhan.
