A massy and racy version of the original
Evaluation: Every time there’s a remake introduced and Pawan Kalyan headlines it, you understand the unique won’t simply be remade however shall be tailored to make sure his followers stay blissful. So if the unique is a drama about two males’s bid to indicate up one another with class and caste disparity making for an imbalanced energy dynamic, the remake can have ample battle scenes, massy moments and a contact of the actor’s political ideology thrown in. Whereas generally such movies work and different instances they don’t, Saagar Ok Chandra’s adaptation of Ayyappanum Koshiyum, with screenplay and dialogues by Trivikram Srinivas, positively works for essentially the most half.
Sarhad Bheemla Nayak (Pawan Kalyan) is a sub-inspector at Srisailam tehsil in Andhra Pradesh. He belongs to the tribal hamlet and has a haunting previous. Daniel Sekhar (Rana Daggubati) is an egoistic son of an ex MP (Samuthirakani) who will get caught with bringing in liquor bottles illegally from Telangana to Andhra Pradesh. The previous is a stickler for guidelines; he’ll fulfil his responsibility at any price. So when Sekhar will get bodily with one of many constables, Bheemla drags him to the police station. Humour quickly kicks in and racy dialogues make it entertaining. Bheemla’s spouse Suguna (Nithya Menen) is a firebrand too who provides salt to the wound. Saagar does an excellent job of tweaking her character to swimsuit this adaptation.
Quickly there’s a chilly struggle raging between Sekhar and Bheemla, with the previous deciding to humiliate the latter. The transformation of the latter from a strict police officer to a whole mass position is the spotlight of this adaptation. It’s certainly a deal with for Pawan’s followers, who haven’t seen their favorite hero in such a task for some time now. However Trivikram’s politically charged dialogues appear pointless, even when followers appear to take pleasure in them.
As soon as Bheemla unleashes the wild animal in him, issues get dangerous for Sekhar and shortly Suguna can also be concerned within the face-off. A lodge scene battle is well-choreographed and it’s not only a whistle worthy second for followers, however for everybody. The movie nonetheless quickly loses tempo; an pointless flashback appears to be there simply to indicate off one other well-choreographed battle scene – when there are already too lots of them to start with. The tribal hamlets from the interiors of Nallamalla are well-depicted however one questions the political intentions behind them, given who’s headlining this present. The climax additionally might’ve been handled higher as a result of after a movie filled with mass scenes, the pale ending appears unjustified. The emotional scenes within the movie are positively lazily written.
Bheemla Nayak is an instance of what makes Pawan Kalyan such an enormous star – his trademark antics are on full show within the movie and his easy dance steps are endearing. Rana Daggubati is prime notch and this movie is proof of how effectively he can act. Nithya Menen is respectable in her position but it surely’s Samyuktha Menon who delivers a mature efficiency that’ll bag her quite a few roles sooner or later. Thaman additionally deserves a shout out for holding his promise and delivering a rating that’ll stick with you. The people songs he composed for Bheemla assist drive emotion and he makes full use of singers like kinnera artist Darshanam Mogilaiah and Kummari Durgavva.
With all stated and achieved, it feels unfair to match Bheemla Nayak to Ayyappanum Koshiyum. The makers preserve solely the naked skeleton intact, fleshing out the remainder of the movie to swimsuit the star energy. If the unique is a movie pushed by its story, this Telugu adaptation is pushed solely by the celebrities. And which means, the makers do their finest to sugar coat the financial and caste disparity that existed between the lead characters within the authentic. Any point out of communism can also be achieved away with and something remotely political appears solely pushed by agenda.
Followers of Ayyappanum Koshiyum can’t go into Bheemla Nayak anticipating a remake that stays true to the unique in ways in which matter. However on the finish of all of it, that is positively a movie that may entertain, regardless of whether or not you’re Pawan and Rana’s fan or not.
