Agent is a spy thriller that commits the blasphemy of being boring. And Akhil’s ‘wild’ act might save the country but it’s not enough to save the film.

Agent Review – Not Wild, Disaster Ride

OUR RATING 1.75/5

CENSOR U/A, 2h 36m

When a former agent, nicknamed God, goes rogue and forms a syndicate, an unlikely recruit, Ricky ( Akhil ), comes from nowhere to save the day. How do Ricky and Mahadev (Mammootty) develop a relationship? What is Mission Rabit, and where does the love angle fit amidst all these forms the movie’s overall story.

Performances

After two soft movies back to back, Akhil returns to larger-than-life action fare with Agent. He sports a six-pack and has a different hairdo making him look stylish and cool on screen. We can all see the physical effort for sure.

When it comes to acting, Akhil gets a whacky, wild characterisation in Agent. It is a mixed bag, as only bits and pieces of it work. Some might like it more (depending on individual preference), but even then, it doesn’t work in its entirety.

The reason is Akhil fails to impress in the bigger mass moments. The challenges with the villain, the warning, the intensity in heavy scenes, and the loudness associated with commercial cinema, in general, are where Akhil is yet to arrive. Leaving those moments, the lighter scenes show a visible improvement, and the lively body language is a positive sign. Akhil also tries Telangana slang in parts, which is okay. Agent, therefore, shows the actor as a work in progress where one can see what is working and what isn’t.

Sakshi Vaidya lacks a big-screen presence for a commercial outing. Apart from looking glamorous and having few romantic scenes with the hero, she has nothing much to do. Even here, she is unremarkable. The fact that she goes missing in the second half and one doesn’t care says a lot about the act and the character in the movie.

Surender Reddy of Kick and Dhruva fame directs Agent. A spy thriller with lots of action is right down the alley of the director, known for stylish action fares.

The opening stretch, establishing the world of Agent, and the set-up simultaneously highlight its utterly routine premise. It is a spy genre movie, and the director picks all the recent past tropes associated with those flicks.

The only difference in Agent from countless other films of the genre is Akhil’s characterisation. It bears the mark of Surender Reddy . Unfortunately, it doesn’t work as well as he would have imagined.

The poor writing and scenes are to be blamed. The love track involving the lead pair bears the burnt. It fails to provide fun and entertainment. The forgettable songs and their picturisation only add to the woe.

It is only towards the interval that some sort of high is felt. The action block has parts showing us what could have been with Agent when things go right. Some bits and pieces are sure to impress fans and action movie lovers. But, they are a minor glimpse, only raising the hopes for the second half.

Sadly, post-intermission, things go downhill from the start. The action scenes are lengthy and tiring. As if they were not enough, the drama lacks depth and intensity. The miscasting shows as the villain’s over-the-top and illogical acts feel unconvincing.

So, you have a situation where the action doesn’t work for an action movie. It looks clumsy and tiring. The quirkiness to differentiate Agent from others fails. The writing disappoints, bringing the silliness to the fore instead of making it look crazy and wacky. And lastly, the drama lacks bite. In short, Agent fails on all counts.

The pre-climax and climax are too loud and over the top, which makes one look drained out by the time the movie ends.

Overall, Agent is a misfire from Surender Reddy—lacking conviction and glaring shortcomings in providing fun and action, shows. Agent is a wild ride indeed, but a tiring and exhausting one leaving one with all sorts of aches.

Agent has a few known faces playing key roles, but one can’t help but feel if they are miscast or unnecessary for the part. Mammootty immediately comes to mind when we think of the latter. It is a role that any prominent character actor could play. He doesn’t look convincing in the over-the-top action set-up. The same is the case with Dino Moreo playing the villain. The second half makes things obvious. Varalakshmi Sarathkumar is wasted in an insignificant role. Sampath and Sathya are alright.

Surender Reddy usually has good taste in music, and his combination with Hip Hop Tamizha previously resulted in a chartbuster album and memorable background score. Agent has none of those, as the album disappoints big time. The background score is alright in parts but mostly is loud and lacks uniqueness.

Rasool Ellore’s cinematography is satisfactory. Some parts could have been better and given a vibe of being shot long ago. Naveen Nooli’s editing is alright. The action needed better execution as it looked clumsy on screen, especially the fight scenes in the second half. The writing is poor.

Highlights? Interval Block

Large Scale Production

Drawbacks? Clumsily Edited Action

Second Half

Logicless Plot

Will You Recommend It? No

Agent Movie Review by M9News

Agent is a wild ride, as Surender Reddy promises, but not in the desired way. It lacks the fun (action, entertainment) and exhausts the patience. Akhil tries his best, but only bits and pieces work. The wait for the true launch continues as Surender Reddy fails to deliver.

First Half Report:

Agent has an utterly routine ‘Spy’ genre premise and setup and the first half. The difference maker is Akhil and his characterization. It elevates what otherwise would be a normal interval block. The second half is extremely critical now.

— Agent started with an introduction to the syndicate mafia that held control over the nation. In a brief action sequence, Ricky (Akhil) was introduced.

Stay tuned for Agent (2022, Telugu Movie) Review, USA Premiere report shortly.

Agent movie review: Akhil Akkineni actioner is hardly entertaining

Agent movie review: the film falls somewhere between a larger-than-life surender reddy presentation and an akhil akkineni movie, but fails to belong to either end of the spectrum..

After the huge period movie Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy (2019), director Surender Reddy took up the task of giving Akhil Akkineni a mass makeover with Agent. Akhil’s last outing was Most Eligible Bachelor with director Bhaskar, which was just average. Surender Reddy continues his association with writer Vakkantham Vamshi for this project too; they have given hits like Oosaravelli, Race Gurram, Kick 2 together.

Just like any other action film, Agent too has a thin storyline. It is the story of a guy called Ramakrishna/ Rikki/ Wild Saala (Akhil Akkineni), whose only target in life is to become a RAW agent. He has been working his whole life with this sole ambition, but has been rejected by the agency time and again. He worships RAW chief Mahadev/ Devil ( Mammootty ) whom he hopes to impress and join the force. Mahadev is currently fighting a group called the Syndicate, headed by Dharma/God (Dino Morea), with home minister Jaya Shankar being a crucial part of the gang. They are on the verge of activating ‘super cells’ and Mahadev aims to stop them at any cost. What these super cells mean, how dangerous they are is not known.

Mahadev and Dharma have a past connection, as the latter was once his best agent. Dharma worked only for the appreciation of Mahadev and to be accepted by all as the best agent of all time. How did Dharma become the bad guy, why Rikki is being rejected by RAW, and what role he plays in the fight between Mahadev and Dharma forms the rest of the film.

Comparisons with the recent spy film Pathaan are bound to happen. Agent also tries to capture all the elements of an international spy adventure, but flounders in several respects. Director Surender Reddy is known for stylish and emotional action adventures. Here, the emotional connection is absent, and when it shows up, it is too weak and too late. The film, however, goes all guns blazing in the action department, which becomes mind-numbing after a while. Akhil’s natural charm is downplayed here as makers stick to the muscular, goon-bashing template required for an action hero. Even the romance angle gets a short shrift in favour of action. The romantic interest, played by Sakshi Vaidya hardly gets space enough to connect with the audience. The second half, which offers some explanation to the ‘Wild Saala’ identity of the hero, keeps the most necessary pointers till too late.

Akhil worked very hard in this action avatar, and it shows. Mammotty looks the part of RAW chief while Dino does justice to the role of the villain; we would like to see him in more South ffilms. Debutant Sakshi Vaidya has a glam part and little else.

Rasool Ellore’s camera is impressive. HipHop Tamizha’s songs are passable but the background score impresses in parts. Vakkantham Vamshi’s story follows a typical action film pattern and sticks to that. Somewhere between a huge Surender Reddy film and Akhil Akkineni film, Agent falters in truly belonging to either zone and ends up as an average action film.

Mammootty-Akhil Akkineni's 'Agent' review: A moderately engaging spy action thriller

Mammootty-Akhil Akkineni starrer Telugu film 'Agent', directed by Surender Reddy, is an engaging spy action thriller that occasionally tests your patience.

The performances are quite good. Akhil Akkineni is the right choice to play the unpredictable, wild character that was envisioned by the makers. Mammootty plays to perfection his usual restrained self as a high-ranked officer Mahadevan, who is part of the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).

However, the plotline is filled with over-the-top action forms, which is a huge setback for the film. Poor editing and unreal VFX effects also mar the watching experience.

Mammootty, Jyothika's 'Kaathal' rides on theme unconventional to 'the core' | Movie Review

One can't overlook the film's similarities with the Shah Rukh Khan-Deepika Padukone blockbuster 'Pathaan', though the latter's high-octane action scenes were enjoyable despite it questioned logic.

The plot of 'Agent' treads a familiar action-spy-thriller path - you have a villain who has an emotional backstory as to why he ends up being the most wanted criminal in the world and a rebel hero. The villain's bruised past and highly-egoistic nature make him a huge threat to the nation which locks him in the bad-boy hero and Mahadevan's radar.

Akhil Akkineni plays the ethical hacker who dreams to be a RAW agent. He uses dubious methods to convince RAW officer Mahadevan that he is capable of being part of their high-risk missions. Why he is desperate to join RAW is woven well into the story in the second half, but some of his actions in the preceding scenes defy logic.

Bollywood actor Dino Morea who made his Telugu debut playing the 'God' in the film was convincing. He manages to draw applause in one scene, when he makes a grand entry into the RAW office.

Meanwhile, the romance angle in the story is very weak which could have been avoided altogether. Even the songs don't go in sync with the proceedings. Despite all these, the film has its moments.

Agent Review

Agent (2023) Telugu Movie: What's Behind

King Nagarjuna's son Akhil scored a decent hit with Most Eligible Bachelor and is now on a mission to get a mass image with his spy thriller Agent. Akhil is aiming for the starts with Agent as the film directed by Surender Reddy is releasing in various languages. Akhil transformed his physique working hard for months while Surender Reddy braved the covid virus and producers overcame the spiralling budget to release the film in theatres. The action-packed teaser and trailer increased expectations on the film. Let us find out whether Akhil created a mass mania with Agent. The film's OTT rights have been bagged by Sony Liv and streaming will be after the theatrical run.

Agent Movie: Story Review

Agent Story is all about a youngster who aspires to become a RAW agent and how he resolves that fight between God and the Devil. Rikki aka Rama Krishna (Akhil), is an ethical hacker dreams of becoming a RAW agent since his childhood. But he fails in his attempts to clear the exam due to his weird ways.

But a sudden turn of events finds himself interacting with the RAW chief Colonel Mahadev (Mammootty) known as Devil for his ruthless patriotism and comes to know about the God (Dino Maria) and his Mission Rabbit. To find out more about Mission Rabbit, Syndicate and how it is linked to Minister Jai Kishen (Sampath Raj) and what role Vidya (Sakshi Vaidya) played, enjoy Agent in action on the big screen.

Agent Movie: Artists Review

Akhil underwent a remarkable transformation for the role of Agent. He shed his loverboy image and showed variations in his expressions, dialogue delivery, and mannerisms. To the top of it, he enacted deadly, breathtaking, and risky stunts and action sequences. He also entertained delivering dialogues in a Telangana accent. He did everything that was required of him by the director and tried to carry the film on his shoulders. If he improves to showcase more intensity, he will reach the next level. He looked stylish and cool on the screen.

Mammootty made his presence felt with his sedate performance. Though his screen presence is good, his role did not get much elevation. Dino Maria who played the antagonist role just passed through the motions. His role looked routine. Sakshi Vaidya looked hot and gorgeous on the screen. She got limited scope to showcase her acting talent. Sampath Raj and Varalakshmi Sarathkumar got limited roles. Others like Murali Sharma, Posani Krishna Murali, and Vikramjit played blink-and-miss roles. Urvashi Rautela did a special song and she looked raunchy as usual.

Agent Movie: Technicians Review

Agent story is penned by Vakkantam Vamsi and Surender Reddy planned to showcase Akhil in a completely different avatar and present him the action hero image. Vakkantam Vamsi's story lacked originality and everything seems to be inspired by the previous spy thrillers. Vamsi failed to even live up to those inspirations from the previous films. The story turned substandard and from then on it is a downside for the Agent team.

The film never took off right from the start. Surender Reddy started the narration in a typical manner establishing the conflict and then he tried to show variation in Akhil's characterization showing him as a weird person who operates in his own way. To some extent it attracts but he did it too much and this ended up irritating the movie lovers.

With no real twists and turns in the spy thriller and a lack of emotional connection, Agent failed big time. With the story going on a predictable note and the weak characterization of the lead roles played by Akhil, Mammootty, and Dino Maria, it tested the patience of all. Many after a sedate start and routine high octane interval block that is routine, expected the story to take off to another level. However, it turned from bad to worse. Silly scenes loaded with the senseless screenplay, directionless direction, and stale script spoiled not only the second half but the entire film.

Hip Hop Tamizha's songs did not make any impact. Songs are forgettable though they are shot in a lavish manner. His background music is below average and followed the same template. Most of the time it is loud. Rasool Ellore's cinematography is good at times but most of the time it left a lot to be desired. The editing of Naveen Nooli left a lot to be desired. There are many repetitive scenes and routine flavors. Dialogues are pretty ordinary and below average. Production values of AK Entertainments, Surender 2 Cinema are lavish.

Agent Movie: Advantages

• Akhil Hard work and Sincerity

Agent Movie: Disadvantages

• Story, Screenplay, Direction
• Characterizations
• Illogical Scenes

Agent Movie: Rating Analysis

Altogether, Agent turns out to be a disaster. Akhil dedicated his entire energy and put in his heart and soul into the project. He worked strenuously for his role and even showed it on screen changing his mannerisms, and expressions completely doing away with the lover boy image. But Vakkantam Vamsi came with an atrocious and senseless story and people wonder how Akhil gave the green signal. Surender Reddy who is known for his stylish entertainers and action flicks, failed in big time with his spineless script, screenplay, and direction. He failed to elevate Akhil's heroism in his character and in turn turned it into a laughing stock. With no real twists and turns and hero elevations, entertainment and emotions. Agent's mission failed even before it began. Considering all these elements, Cinejosh goes with a 2 Rating for Agent .

‘Agent’ Movie Review

Agent Movie Review

Telugu360 Rating : 1.75/5

RAW chief Mahadev alias Devil ( Mammootty) is on a special assignment to tackle the International syndicate led by God ( Dino Morea). Ramakrishna alias Rikky alias Wild (Akhil Akkineni) is an ethical hacker whose ambition is to work for RAW. Ramakrishna uses all his tricks to get attention from Mr. Mahadev but fails largely. At some point Mahadev hires RK on special task to nab the international don. Rest of the story is why in first place the GOD turned badass? how he was confronted by ‘Wild’.

Core point of AGENT has slight resemblance to recent hindi filmPathaan. In both films Ex-RAW agents turn international mafia kingpin to unleash mayhem against India.Root cause for their change is also same in both films.In addition, in both films the heroes are the current RAW agents deployed on a foreign mission. Coming to the content, it is very amateurish right from the word go. When an international spy film is attempted, it takes a lot of budget. In this film the production values are pretty good but the story and direction are not up to the mark . Though cinematic liberty, many of the scenes make you cringe. The songs placement is unarguably worst in the recent years

Akhil has tried his best in the dual shaded Rikky role. The amateurish characterization played spoilsport to his efforts. Sakshi Vaidya as Akhil’s love interest has negligible role in the film. Mammootty as RAW chief is good. Ex- Model Dino Morea is a misfit as mafia don.

• Akhil’s getup and toned physique
• Couple of high budget action episodes
• Production Values
• Poor Script and Irresponsible Direction
• Songs and their placement

Verdict: AGENT film has a weak script double down with a bad direction and topped with worst music. Everything went wrong with this farcical action film. Akhil’s characterization backfires, Dino Morea as the villain is a miscast. It is difficult to sit through this silly film.

Release date: 28 April 2023 Director : Surender Reddy Music director: Hiphop Tamizha Bheems Ceciroleo Cinematography: Rasool Ellore George C. Williams Producers : Rambrahmam Sunkara Ajay Sunkara Pathi Deepa Reddy

Ricky is an ethical hacker who aspires to join the RAW at any cost. He dreams of impressing the chief of the RAW, Mahadev, aka The Devil. Ricky hacks into Mahadev’s system to impress him. During the interrogation, Ricky explains why he hacked into the system and convinces Mahadev to recruit him. Mahadev sends him on a mission to capture The God, an ex-RAW agent who has gone rogue. The rest of the movie focuses on how Ricky attempts to capture ‘The God’ and how this suicide mission changes his life and perspectives.

Star Performance

Mammootty as ‘The Devil’ brings about the viciousness and stone-cold attitude his character demands. He rolls past his role smoothly, like always. Akhil Akkineni has put in a lot of effort for the character. Dino Morea also does a decent job with his part.

What could have been something new and fresh became the same as always, and maybe even worse. The movie Agent summed up in a sentence will look like this. Everything about the movie is chaotic, right from the names of the characters to the whole plot. Ricky is wild, but the audience knows this only when others refer to him as wild and never really gets a chance to witness it. His unpredictability and craziness are never shown on the screen, making the movie as predictable as any spy movie could be. Even the romantic track runs dry and feels like a time-pass just to uphold the action. There is not enough screentime or space for Sakshi Vaidya to prove she is more than simply a cute heroine. The songs and their placements are unbearable and feel useless. The background music also fails to add effect to the screenplay. The camera work is good, but the VFX is painful to watch. With the budget they had, Surender Reddy could have done more justice to the VFX. Akhil Akkineni surely has put in effort for the role, but the script fails him. Mammootty breezes past his role as usual, and Dino Morea have tried to bring an identity to his character, Dharma.

What’s There?

• Action sequences.
• Familiar elements that a spy movie has.

What’s Not There?

• Absence of a good script.
• Screen space for characters is not there.
• Explanations for some scenes are not there.
• A good VFX.

The absence of a good script and novelty leads to the downfall of this movie. Most departments fail to do their job, bringing out the worst. The film lacks originality and relies solely on the action element, and the song placements seem unnecessary. The audience cannot emotionally connect with the characters, making the film a one-time watch at the most.

Agent review: It’s mission unaccomplished!

Despite Akhil Akkineni's efforts, slow narration, boring treatment, and poor visual effects don't add value to Surender Reddy's latest directorial.

Published:Aug 10, 2023

This agent misses the mark!

Agent (Telugu)

• Cast: Akhil Akkineni, Mammootty, Dino Morea, Sampath Raj, and Denzil Smith
• Director: Surender Reddy
• Producers: AK Entertainments and Surender 2 Cinema
• Music: Hiphop Tamizha and Bheems Ceciroleo
• Runtime: 2 hours 36 minutes
• Cast: Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Emraan Hashmi, and Revathy
• Director: Maneesh Sharma
• Producer: Aditya Chopra
• Music: Pritam Chakraborty
• Runtime: 2 hours 35 minutes

Director Surender Reddy’s much-awaited spy thriller Agent , starring Akhil Akkineni in the lead role, is finally out in the theatres today, 28 April.

The film, which went through many hurdles due to the Covid-19 lockdowns, has managed to pique the interest of audiences. Let’s see how far it succeeds in keeping them engaged and entertained.

Ramakrishna aka Ricky (Akhil Akkineni) aims to be a RAW Agent. When his repeated attempts to enter RAW fail, Ricky finally hacks RAW chief Mahadev aka Devil’s computer (Mammootty) to fall in his eyes.

Impressed by Ricky’s abilities, Devil assigns Ricky the task of taking on God, a dreaded crime lord (Dino Morea). God is against India and planning a mission to destroy India.

How Ricky takes on God and how he succeeds in destroying God’s mission against India is the story of Agent .

Surender Reddy’s mark missing

Agent has a wafer-thin storyline. Only impressive treatment and narration can keep the audience engaged with such a simple story. Unfortunately, the movie fails even in this aspect.

Added to this, routine treatment and a slow pace turn Agent into a passable fare. One wonders if is this a Surender Reddy directorial.

The director is known for coming up with interesting storylines and elevating them with racy narration and stylish presentation. All those are apparently missing in Agent !

Akhil’s efforts go in vain

Akhil Akkineni tried his best and worked hard for Agent . The way he transformed his physique and performed in action sequences and dances shows his efforts for this high-budget action thriller.

But that’s it! Every other aspect of the film is simply forgettable.

Even Akhil appears to be miscast for the role. The quirky and wild characterisation of Agent fails to impress the audience.

Mammootty is adequate as a RAW official.

Dino Morea appears on the screen after a long time in a negative role.

Apart from these three roles, no other actor has any significant role to play. Female lead Sakshi Vaidya appears in songs and a couple of romantic scenes which are in no way related to the main plot.

Technical crew lag behind

Being a high-octane spy action thriller, Agent needs the best efforts from the technical crew.

Rasool Ellore’s cinematography is fine. But visual effects fail to impress.

A couple of action episodes are fine.

There are no great songs and misplacing of songs spoils the narration.

The background score by Hip-hop Tamizha is in tune with the overall feel of the movie.

Editor Navin Nooli should have cut the movie short by at least 20-30 minutes as audiences feel bored and unrelated in many scenes.

Sadly, the much-awaited Agent fails to accomplish his only mission: impress the audience.

Despite good efforts from Akhil Akkineni, one keeps wondering if this action thriller is directed by Surender Reddy.

Agent Review: Saala Totally Boring

Movie: Agent Rating: 2/5 Banner: AK Entertainments, Surrender2Cinema Cast: Akhil Akkineni, Sakshi Vaidya, Mammotty, Dino Morea, Sampath Raj, Urvashi Rautela and others Story: Vakkantham Vamsi Music: Hiphop Tamizha DOP: Rasool Ellore Editor: Naveen Nooli Action: Vijay Master, Stun Siva Producer: Rambrahmam Sunkara Directed by: Surender Reddy Release Date: April 28, 2023

"Agent" has created a lot of hype as it is one of the most expensive action thrillers in Tollywood. Akhil too underwent a physical transformation and worked on this film for nearly two years. 

Let's find out whether director Surender Reddy and Akhil's confidence in this subject paid off.

Story: Ricky (Akhil) has aspired to be a RAW agent since childhood. He tries and fails numerous times to join RAW. He worships RAW Chief Mahadev, also known as Devil (Mammootty).

Mahadev believes Ricky would be an appropriate agent to finish off God (Dino Morea), who has been running a syndicate to take control of all businesses in India. Devil is a rogue former agent. 

Will Mahadev's plans come to fruition?

Artistes’ Performances: Akhil Akkineni not only underwent a complete physical transformation for the role of a spy, but he also played it with great ease. He gives everything as a 'wild' agent. His dedication to this film is evident, despite the fact that his character is poorly written.

Sakshi Vaidya, a newcomer, has good looks, but she only appears in two songs and two scenes. That's all.

Mammootty, a legendary Malayalam superstar, is fantastic as a RAW agent. He adds gravitas to the otherwise dull proceedings.

Bollywood star Dino Morea is well-cast as the antagonist God, but the role lacks any strength.

Technical Excellence: The film is billed as the most expensive film for a mid-level hero, with high production values and plenty of action stunts. A lot of money appears to have been spent on action thrills. Rasool's cinematography is adequate.

Hiphop Thamizha's music, on the other hand, doesn't add much to the film. It's easily forgotten.

The writing is inadequate. Another flaw is the editing. Visual effects look cheap despite spending a lot of money.

Highlights: Akhil Akkineni’s efforts Mamootty Pre-interval episode

Drawback: Clumsy second half Laughable climax Formulaic writing Lousy Songs

Analysis "Agent" is a spy thriller that follows the standard Hollywood action thriller template. There is no story per se, though Vakkantham Vamsi is credited with writing one. This film appears to have been hashed, taking scenes and elements from a slew of Hollywood spy thrillers. This is precisely the issue with "Agent" - a lack of a coherent story to tell.

Dino Morea, a Bollywood actor, plays a villain in the film. The real villain in this film, however, is writer Vakkantham Vamsi, with director Surender Reddy serving as a sidekick. Both have blown it spectacularly.

The film begins on a high note with RAW operations, and Mammootty's stylish and intriguing acting keeps us glued to it for a while in the initial setup despite some yawn-inducing sequences involving Akhil and the heroine Sakshi Vaidya, as well as other scenes in the first half.

To be fair, the first half of the film is a typical masala Telugu film. The second half, on the other hand, is completely clumsy. Not only is it ridiculous, but it also gives you a headache by the end.

Hero Akhil has worked hard and appears to have blindly followed whatever the director demanded. However, his efforts have been completely in vain, as the director and writer have failed to produce interesting proceedings. The only scene in the film that piques one's interest is the one between Akhil and Sampath Raj before the interval.

In the later sections, the female lead Sakshi is nowhere to be found. She appears only in a "Govinda Govinda" song. Is the song a metaphor for the film's direction (Govinda Govinda)?

Guns blaze, bullets fly through the air, Akhil bares his sculpted body, a lot of money is spent on visual effects... but, nothing enhances the film's impact.

“Agent” is another example that “action” elements do not add much value without a solid script.

All in all, “Agent,” in an attempt to present it as a wild and wacky spy thriller, turns out to be messy. The departments of writing, direction, songs, and editing have competed with each other in dishing out boring output.

Bottom line: Govinda Govinda Ji

Rathnam movie review: విశాల్‌ కథానాయకుడిగా హరి దర్శకత్వంలో వచ్చిన యాక్షన్‌ ఫిల్మ్‌ తెలుగు ప్రేక్షకులను మెప్పించిందా?

Rathnam movie review: చిత్రం: రత్నం; నటీనటులు: విశాల్‌, ప్రియా భవానీ శంకర్‌, సముద్రఖని, రామచంద్రరాజు, గౌతమ్‌ వాసుదేవ్‌ మేనన్‌, యోగిబాబు, మురళీ శర్మ, హరీశ్‌ పేరడి తదితరులు; సంగీతం: దేవిశ్రీ ప్రసాద్‌; ఎడిటింగ్‌: టి.ఎస్‌. జై; సినిమాటోగ్రఫీ: ఎం.సుకుమార్‌; నిర్మాత: కార్తికేయన్‌ సంతానం, అలంకార్‌ పాండియన్‌; రచన, దర్శకత్వం: హరి; విడుదల: 26-04-2024

హ‌రి సినిమా అన‌గానే యాక్ష‌న్ ప్రియులు ఉత్సాహంగా ఎదురు చూస్తుంటారు. ‘సింగం’ సినిమాల‌తో ఆయ‌న చూపించిన ప్ర‌భావం అలాంటిది. విశాల్‌తో ఆయ‌న చేసిన  ‘భ‌ర‌ణి’, ‘పూజ’ సినిమాలు కూడా మంచి విజ‌యాల్ని సొంతం చేసుకున్నాయి. కొంత విరామం త‌ర్వ‌త ఈ క‌ల‌యిక‌లో రూపుదిద్దుకున్న చిత్ర‌మే.. ‘ర‌త్నం’.  ప్రేక్ష‌కుల్లో మంచి అంచ‌నాల్ని సృష్టించి... ప్ర‌చార చిత్రాల‌తో ఆస‌క్తిని రేకెత్తించిన ఈ సినిమా ఎలా ఉంది?(Rathnam movie review) తెలుగు ప్రేక్షకులను అలరిస్తుందా?

క‌థేంటంటే: త‌మిళ‌నాడు, ఆంధ్ర స‌రిహ‌ద్దుల్లో సాగే క‌థ ఇది. ల‌క్ష్యం కోసం హ‌త్య‌లు చేయ‌డానికైనా వెన‌కాడ‌ని యువ‌కుడు ర‌త్నం (విశాల్‌). తాను మావ‌య్య అని పిలుచుకునే ఎమ్మెల్యే ప‌న్నీర్‌స్వామి(స‌ముద్ర‌ఖ‌ని) అండ‌తో అప్పుడ‌ప్పుడూ చ‌ట్టాన్ని త‌న చేతుల్లోకి తీసుకుంటూ ప‌నులు చ‌క్కబెడుతుంటాడు. పోలీసుల‌కి స‌గం స‌మ‌స్య‌ల్ని త‌గ్గిస్తుంటాడు. ఎమ్మెల్యేకి కుడి భుజంలాంటి ర‌త్నం జీవితంలో ఎన్నో క‌ల్లోలాలు. చిన్నప్పుడే త‌ల్లి రంగనాయ‌కి పోలీస్‌స్టేష‌న్‌లో ఉరి వేసుకుని ఆత్మ‌హ‌త్య చేసుకుంటుంది. అత‌ని బాల్యం కొంత‌కాలం జైల్లో గ‌డుస్తుంది. అలాంటి ర‌త్నం జీవితంలోకి మ‌ల్లిక (ప్రియ‌భ‌వానీ శంక‌ర్‌) వ‌చ్చాక కొత్త ప‌రిణామాలు చోటు చేసుకుంటాయి. త‌మిళ‌నాడులోని తిరుత్త‌ణిని అడ్డాగా చేసుకుని ఎన్నెన్నో అరాచ‌కాలకు పాల్ప‌డుతుంటారు లింగం బ్ర‌ద‌ర్స్ (ముర‌ళీశ‌ర్మ‌, హ‌రీష్ పేర‌డి). వాళ్లే మ‌ల్లిక‌పై హ‌త్యాయ‌త్నం చేయ‌గా, ర‌త్నం కాపాడ‌తాడు. (Rathnam movie review) ఇంత‌కీ మ‌ల్లిక ఎవ‌రు?ఆమెని లింగం బ్ర‌ద‌ర్స్ చంపాల‌నుకోవ‌డానికి కార‌ణం ఏమిటి?మ‌ల్లికని కాపాడేందుకు ర‌త్నం ఏం చేశాడు? అస‌లు ర‌త్నం త‌ల్లి రంగ‌నాయ‌కి పోలీస్‌స్టేష‌న్‌లో ఎందుకు ఆత్మ‌హ‌త్య చేసుకుంది? త‌దిత‌ర విష‌యాలు తెలియాలంటే సినిమా చూడాల్సిందే!

ఎలా ఉందంటే: హ‌రి సినిమా అంటేనే ఫ‌క్తు మాస్ క‌థ‌, వీరోచిత‌మైన పోరాటాలు, ప‌రుగులు పెట్టే స‌న్నివేశాలే గుర్తొస్తాయి. ఇక విశాల్‌తో ఆయ‌న జ‌ట్టు క‌ట్టారంటే ఆ క‌థ‌, క‌థ‌నాలు ఎలా ఉంటాయో ప్రేక్ష‌కులు ముందే ఓ అంచ‌నాకొస్తారు. ఆ ఇద్ద‌రి క‌ల‌యిక‌లో ఇదివ‌ర‌కు వ‌చ్చిన సినిమాలు అలాంటివి. అదే టెంప్లేట్‌తో సాగే క‌థ‌తోనే... మాస్‌, యాక్ష‌న్, సెంటిమెంట్ అంశాల్ని ఇంకాస్త అప్‌గ్రేడ్ చేస్తూ ఈ సినిమాని మ‌లిచారు ద‌ర్శ‌కుడు హ‌రి. 90వ‌ ద‌శ‌కంతో క‌థ‌ని మొద‌లుపెడుతూ, ఆరంభ స‌న్నివేశాలతో పాత్ర‌ల్ని ప‌రిచ‌యం చేశారు. ఆ ప‌ని పూర్త‌య్యాక అస‌లు సిస‌లు హ‌రి మార్క్ స‌న్నివేశాలు షురూ అవుతాయి. (Rathnam movie review) ఛేజింగ్‌లు, యాక్ష‌న్ ఘ‌ట్టాల‌తో స‌న్నివేశాలు ప‌రుగులు పెడ‌తాయి. మ‌ల్లిక పాత్ర ప‌రిచ‌యం, ఆమెపై హ‌త్యాయ‌త్నంతో క‌థ‌లో మ‌లుపులు చోటు చేసుకుంటాయి. లింగం బ్ర‌ద‌ర్స్ అరాచ‌కాలు, మెడిక‌ల్ కాలేజీ వ్య‌వ‌హార‌మంతా సాదాసీదాగా పాత సినిమాల్నే గుర్తు చేసినా, విరామం త‌ర్వాత  క‌థ‌లో చోటు చేసుకునే మ‌లుపులు సినిమాని ప్ర‌త్యేకంగా మార్చాయి. అయితే అవేవీ వాస్త‌వానికి ద‌గ్గ‌ర‌గా అనిపించ‌వు.

సినిమాలో ఓ చోట క‌థానాయ‌కుడితో స‌ముద్ర‌ఖ‌ని ‘క‌ల‌లో కూడా ఊహించ‌లేనివి నీ జీవితంలో జ‌రిగాయి’ అంటాడు. ఆ మాట‌కి త‌గ్గ‌ట్టుగానే ఈ కథ ఎక్క‌డా స‌హ‌జంగా అనిపించ‌దు. ఏ పాత్ర‌తోనూ స‌గ‌టు ప్రేక్ష‌కుడు క‌నెక్ట్ కాలేని ప‌రిస్థితి. క‌థ‌లో మ‌లుపుల పేరిట బ‌ల‌వంతంగా  స‌న్నివేశాలు రాసిన‌ట్టు అనిపిస్తుందే త‌ప్ప, వాస్త‌వానికి ద‌గ్గ‌ర‌గా ఉన్న‌ట్టు అనిపించ‌దు. క‌థ ముగుస్తుంద‌నుకున్న ప్ర‌తిసారీ మ‌రో అంకం మొద‌ల‌వుతుంది. (Rathnam movie review) ఇదంతా సాగ‌దీత వ్య‌వ‌హార‌మే. హీరో, హీరోయిన్ మ‌ధ్య బంధాన్ని ఆవిష్క‌రించిన తీరు కొత్త‌గానే ఉన్నా అవి ప్రేక్ష‌కుడికి ఆమోద‌యోగ్యం అనిపించ‌దు. ద్వితీయార్ధంలో  హీరో త‌ల్లి నేప‌థ్యంలో వ‌చ్చే ఎపిసోడ్, ఓ బ్రాహ్మ‌ణ కుటుంబంతో ముడిపెట్టిన విధానం సెంటిమెంట్ ప‌రంగా ఆక‌ట్టుకుంటుంది. ప‌తాక స‌న్నివేశాలు ప‌ర్వాలేద‌నిపిస్తాయి. కాలం చెల్లిన క‌థ‌కి, బ‌ల‌వంతంగా కొన్ని మ‌లుపుల్ని జోడించి తీసిన సినిమా ఇది. అస‌లు  క‌థ కంటే యాక్ష‌న్ హంగామానే ఎక్కువ‌. 

ఎవ‌రెలా చేశారంటే: విశాల్‌కి అల‌వాటైన పాత్రే. ర‌త్నంగా తెర‌పై ఒదిగిపోయారు. త‌న మార్క్ పోరాట ఘ‌ట్టాల్ని చాలా బాగా చేశారు. భావోద్వేగాల్నీ పండించారు. క‌థానాయిక ప్రియ భ‌వానీ శంక‌ర్‌కి క‌థ‌లో హీరోకి స‌మాన‌మైన పాత్ర దొరికింది. పాత్ర ప‌రిచ‌య‌మైన‌ప్ప‌టి నుంచి హీరోతోపాటే క‌నిపిస్తూ ఉంటుంది.  వైద్యురాలు కావాల‌నుకునే ఓ యువ‌తిగా  చాలా బాగా న‌టించింది. ఎమ్మెల్యేగా క‌నిపించే స‌ముద్ర‌ఖ‌ని పాత్ర ఆక‌ట్టుకుంటుంది. (Rathnam movie review) లింగం బ్ర‌ద‌ర్స్‌గా క‌నిపించే ముర‌ళీశ‌ర్మ‌, హ‌రీష్ పేర‌డీ పాత్ర‌లూ బాగున్నాయి. రాజేంద్ర‌న్‌, యోగిబాబు పెద్ద‌గా న‌వ్వించ‌లేక‌పోయారు.

సాంకేతికంగా యాక్ష‌న్ ఘ‌ట్టాలు అల‌రిస్తాయి. సంగీతం చిత్రానికి ప్ర‌ధాన‌బ‌లం. పాట‌లు, నేప‌థ్య సంగీతంలో దేవిశ్రీప్ర‌సాద్ మార్క్ క‌నిపిస్తుంది. ద‌ర్శ‌కుడు హ‌రి సినిమాల‌కి ప్ర‌త్యేక‌మైన ఫ్యాన్ బేస్ ఉంది. అయితే క‌థ‌, క‌థ‌నాల ప‌రంగానే ఆయ‌న వైవిధ్యం చూపించాల్సిన అవ‌స‌రం ఉంది. పోరాటాలు, వేగవంత‌మైన స‌న్నివేశాల‌పైనే ఆధార‌ప‌డుతున్నారు త‌ప్ప, మారుతున్న ప్రేక్ష‌కుల అభిరుచుల‌కి త‌గ్గ‌ట్టుగా క‌థ‌ని చెప్ప‌డంలో విఫ‌ల‌మ‌వుతున్నారు.

Land of Bad review – Russell Crowe marches on in explosive action thriller

Crowe plays an irascible army veteran opposite Liam Hemsworth’s rippling rookie field agent – but stunts overshadow suspense

W e’re in the “try anything once” phase of Russell Crowe’s career, and he’s wearing it well. There’s a looseness to his latterday choice of role, with none of the stage-managed strategy of a hungry star with Oscars in their immediate eyeline; he’s done all that. He is in his improvisational free jazz phase, and it has given us Big Russ as a deranged road-rage maniac ( Unhinged ), the pope’s personal exorcist ( The Pope’s Exorcist ), and an appearance at WrestleMania 39 in character as said pope’s exorcist – to say nothing of the gigs and music videos . Actor Liam Hemsworth seems to be enjoying Crowe’s current energy too – having worked with him on Poker Face in 2022, he’s now re-teamed with him for Land of Bad, a thriller in which they play a dynamic US army duo: one a heroically rippling rookie field operative, the other an irascible old-timer with a range of colourful traits and ticks to help him stand out from the rest of the cast. You may be able to figure out which way around the casting goes; splendidly, Crowe’s character is named Eddie “Reaper” Grimm.

Despite quality performances from both leading lads, Land of Bad won’t exactly knock anyone’s socks off. The action sequences are frequently excellent, and the plot is the kind of thing we’ve seen in decent films of this nature before: one soldier stuck in hostile territory on a mission that’s gone wrong, another guy helping remotely while being hampered by institutional failings. There’s something about it that doesn’t fully cohere as the key sense of momentum or suspense is missing – where you ought to be chewing your fingernails off during the final odds-defying race against time, you’re more lightly curious to see whether or not they’ll make it, and it would be just as interesting to see them not make it too.

This is a film that has trained us to enjoy its explosions and set-pieces, but makes the outcomes seem less important, perhaps due to an attempt to turn the film into a parable about the flagging commitment of most modern soldiers to the principles of being a good soldier. This may not be a topic close to most people’s hearts, but skilled storytelling can make you care about anything: look at The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp from 1943 that can make anyone connect with the pathos of a veteran commander grappling with a less principled army than the one he grew up with. Land of Bad beats Blimp on stuntwork though, so that’s a plus.

South OTT Releases May 2024: Manjummel Boys, Aavesham & More

By Aditi Rathi

South movies have taken the box office by storm. With back-to-back hits, Malayalam cinema has surprised the audience. On the other hand, Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil cinema have movies ranging from romance dramas to action and comedy. In May, several such films are set to make their digital debuts. From Manjummel Boys to Aavesham, they will be available to stream on OTT platforms.

Here’s a list of South movies arriving on OTT platforms in May:

Manjummel Boys

The latest Malayalam survival thriller, Manjummel Boys, created history at the box office. Based on a true story, the movie is an ode to friendship. Helmed by Chidambaram, the movie was released in theaters on February 22, 2024. After its massive success, the film was dubbed in Telugu for a new target audience. Following its exclusive theatrical release, the movie allegedly earned $28 million at its worldwide box office.

It follows the story of a group of friends from Kerala, who visit the infamous Guna Caves. During their expedition, one of the friends falls deep into the caves. Despite several attempts to save their friend, the entire group’s efforts go in vain. Will they be able to rescue their pal?

Manjummel Boys will make its digital debut on Disney+ Hotstar in five languages: Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, and Kannada. It will be available to stream on May 5, 2024. It is one of the most prominent South movies premiering on OTT this month.

Aadujeevitham

Starring Prithviraj Sukumaran in the lead role, Aadujeevitham, aka The Goat Life, is another Malayalam flick based on a true story. The movie follows the tale of an Indian laborer, Najeeb, who goes to an Arab country in search of work. However, he is wronged by his agent and is forced to herd goats in the middle of a never-ending desert. As a result, he makes several attempts to escape the horrible conditions but fails. How he survives in the desert and whether he escapes the conditions shapes the plot of the movie.

So far, the movie has reportedly earned over $18.9 million at the box office worldwide. From May 10, 2024, it is all set to entertain the audience on Disney+ Hotstar.

Aavesham is another hit Malayalam movie helmed by Jithu Madhavan. With Fahadh Faasil’s unique role, the movie has thoroughly entertained the audience. Several celebrities, including Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Nayanthara, and others, have praised the film. Reportedly , the movie has grossed a whopping $15.4 million at the box office worldwide.

After about five weeks of its release, the movie will be available to stream on Amazon Prime Video from May 17, 2024. Aavesham is the story of three young men who move to Bengaluru to pursue higher studies. When they get involved in a fight with one of their seniors, they seek help from a local Malayali gangster.

Vishal returned to the silver screens with another action drama, Rathnam, on April 26, 2024. The movie opened to mixed reviews but has remained stable at the box office. Since it has been only a few days since the movie’s theatrical release, its digital release date has yet to be revealed. However, as per the four-week rule that most South movies follow, the latest film might arrive on an OTT platform by the end of May. Reportedly , Amazon Prime Video has bagged the movie’s streaming rights.

In conclusion, the month of May has several movies making its digital debut. However, a few newly released South films are yet to disclose their OTT release dates. Meanwhile, the above-mentioned list has a lot of thrill, comedy, action, and drama for viewers to enjoy.

Always lookin' for what's cookin', Aditi is a fan of American sitcoms and Indian cinema. The combination is as quirky as she is. Apart from writing all day, you can catch her playing with her street dogs, painting, or cooking.
