TELUGU NIPPU
EDITOR'S PICK
Rating: **
Telugu film industry star Ravi Teja`s films are neither pretentious nor have any
semblance of a convincing story line to reveal. They are just mass entertainers.
And he is the sole strength of all his films as he can excel in dialogue
delivery, dance and fight scenes.
But lately his formula has not been appealing to the audiences. Nippu
is one more addition to the list of mediocre films from Ravi Teja. The only
redeeming feature is the brilliant comic timing between Ravi Teja and
Brahmanandam.
Much was expected from Nippu as two prominent directors of the
Telugu film industry, Gunashekhar and Y.V.S. Chowdhary who were once the actor`s
roommates in his struggling days, had worked as a director and producer of the
film.
But Nippu` fails to appeal as it does not have a good script.
It is surprising that Gunashekhar, who did some brilliant film like Okkudu,
could write a meaningless, weak script like Nippu.
The narration in the first half is too boring, the film generates interest in
the second half only to nose-dive in the climax. In a way Nippu is a
clear letdown.
In the film, Sruya has a good friend in Sriram who migrated to Saudi Arabia.
Surya comes to know that his friend has been awarded death sentence for a crime
he has not committed. His lover Vaishnavi accidentally falls from rooftop, but
Sriram is falsely implicated in the case.
Surya does not believe it and goes to Saudi Arabia to save his friend. How he
saves his friend forms the rest of the story.
As usual Ravi Teja is best in comedy and action sequences, but fails to lift the
weak story.
Deeksha has nothing much to do.
Pradeep Rawat and Mukul Dev`s performance are on expected lines, however,
Brahmanandam excels in a few comedy sequences.
Talented artists like Rajendra Prasad and Sriram have little opportunities in
the film.
Thaman`s music is also ordinary, but camera work is good.
Ravi Teja`s Nippu is a disappointing film.
