TELUGU BUSINESS MAN
EDITOR'S PICK
Rating: ***
The magical combination of charismatic hero Mahesh Babu and director Puri
Jagannath has come back again after a gap of nearly five years. The duo`s last
film Pokkiri (2007) was a spectacular success and its remake
versions in Tamil, Hindi (Wanted) and Kannada too hit the jackpot in
the box office.
The film has lived up to the pre-release hype. Strong point of
Businessman is Mahesh Babu`s charismatic presence and the dialogues
written by Jagannath.
Mahesh Babu, whose Dookudu has re-written box office records in the
Telugu film industry, is not able to show the variety in his performance in the
film. This is so because Businessman has a single thread in the
story and the director has focussed on that only. But the actor dominates the
film from start to end.
Dialogues carry lot of punch and it is certainly difficult to resist clapping
for
some of the dialogues. The film is presented very well with superb production
values. Most of Jagannath`s films have sharp cuts and Businessman is
not an exception. The film has a racy narration.
Some of the flaws in the film are that it does not have any logic and story is
too far fetched. Lack of comedy is another factor that can limit the film`s
large scale acceptance.
In fact Jagannath`s previous films Pokkiri, Idiot,
Amma Nanna O Tamil Ammai and Bujjigadu had such a
fantastic comical narration that audience expect some funny situations and
dialogues. But the director seems to have decided to take
Businessman to a different direction.
In the film Surya comes to Mumbai to become a don. He meets Chitra, daughter of
a police commissioner, and tries to please her. Chitra falls in love with Surya
without knowing his intention. He gets closer to her fo keep an eye on the
movements of policemen.
Meanwhile Surya tires to be closer to an opposition leader and makes him win an
election, which does not go well with the ruling party leaders. This leads to
confrontation among the political leaders and also underworld.
Surya uses the situation to his advantage to become a don. What he does later
has to be seen in the film.
Mahesh Babu is fantastic. He is the prime attraction in the film and remains so
throughout the film. Kajal Agarwal has a small and cute role and she looks good
on screen. There is nothing to write about veteran artists who have done their
roles with ease.
Thaman once again impresses with his music. Camera work is top class. Overall,
Businessman is a film for Mahesh Babu fans. Watch the film for the
actor`s sheer screen presence and Jagannath`s punchy dialogues.
Well-known southern composer S.S Thaman on Monday said he will be making his Bollywood debut with Rohit Shetty's "Golmaal Again", the fourth part in the popular franchise.Read More
