Ravi Teja’s Krack hit the theatres finally. This mass masala cleared the financial issues and started playing from the first show in the theatres. Mass Maharaja and Shruti Haasan played the leading roles in this Gopichand Malineni directorial. Let’s check whether it has the mettle to emerge as a winner in the Sankranthi competition or not.
Plot
Veera Shankar is an honest cop who crosses all the borders to catch criminals and beat the heck out of them. His family consists of his wife Kalyani(Shruti Haasan) and a kid. He embarks on an investigation to solve the murder mystery of one of his colleagues. While doing so, he finds the involvement of a gangster Kathari Krishna(Samuthirakani), and his lover Jayamma(Varalaxmi Sarathkumar). The rest of the plot constitutes the confrontation of Shankar and Krishna and the eventual victory of the former.
Analysis
Krack is nothing but the one-man show of Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja. There is nothing new when it comes to the story but the magic lies in Gopichand’s attractive presentation clearly targeted at the masses. Don’t expect any kind of logic whatsoever and you will definitely enjoy Ravi Teja’s loudmouthed dialogues and Gopi’s tight screenplay.
Shruthi Haasan got nothing to do substantial and Kathi Mahesh’s comedy scenes went well with the proceedings. Apart from Ravi Teja, Samuthirakani stole the show with his excellent acting capabilities. Varalaxmi Sarathkumar’s Jayamma character is good and she seems to have a nice future in the TFI. Ali played a guest appearance. The action sequence in the Ongole bus stand and the climax beach fight is good. Sudhakar Komakula and Vamsi Chaganti have done justice to their roles.
Highlights
The cinematography by G.K Vishnu is top-notch while Thaman’s music is good too. Star writer Burra Sai Madhav’s dialogues are up to the mark. Ram Laxman’s action choreography ushers a new breath into this run of the mill potboiler. Samuthirakani proved his mettle as the antagonist and definitely has a long way to go in Tollywood.
