Trailer Review: 'Jai Simha'
- IndiaGlitz, [Sunday,December 24 2017]
One recurring theme of the trailer is that Balakrishna is on a roaring mode. What a mass star! His energy has just been Simha-fied and there is no looking back.
Lest we forget it or miss its import, the punchline from the teaser makes a reappearance: 'Simham mounanni sanyasam anukovaddu.. Silent ga undani gelikithe thala korikesthadi'. Additionally, we have this: 'Aa kallallo power enti?!' an astounded villain wonders.
'Nuvvante Kumbhakonaniki bhayam; Nenante rendu rashtralaki pranam', the hero informs the villain. 'Simhanni champalante training theesukovali; Narasimhanni kottalante timing thelisundali', we are told at the end.
Yes, like in the teaser, Balayya is on a rampage, issuing warnings and roaring as the title would have demanded.
It seems KS Ravikumar is hardly content with just action and telling the saviour's story. Nayanthara and the hero have a full-fledged, proper love story complete with pulling each other's legs, dancing on the road (why not?) and that betrayal moment when she says, "I will never see you again". There she said it.
With Prakash Raj and Ashutosh Rana, the hero surely has an agenda.
Produced by CK Entertainments, it has Brahmanandam, Murali Mohan, Jayaprakash Reddy, 'Kalakeya' Prabhakar, Shiva Parvathi and others in its cast. The cinematography is by Ramprasad. The story and dialogues are by M Ratnam. Art Direction is by Narayana Reddy. Action choreography is by Anbariv, Ram Laxman, Venkat.
The film releases on Jan 12, the same date on which Suriya's 'Gang' will release.
