Skanda marks the first collaboration of Energetic Star Ram Pothineni and mass director Boyapati Sreenu. The movie generated significant buzz before it finally opened in cinemas today. Check out our review to know how the movie is.
Story:
Telangana CM Ranjith Reddy’s
(Sharath Lohitashwa) son elopes with Andhra Pradesh CM Rayudu’s (Ajay Purkar)
daughter. Enraged, Rayudu wants to seek revenge, but the entry of Bhaskar Raju
(Ram Pothineni) changes the entire scenario. Who is Bhaskar Raju? What is his
motto? Why did he target both the CMs? How is Rudraganti Ramakrishna Raju
(Srikanth) related to Raju? The movie has all the answers.
Plus Points:
Ram Pothineni’s impressive
transformation for this film is noteworthy. His beast mode, especially when he
takes down the enemies in action sequences, is extraordinary. Besides his mass
appearance, his wonderful dialogue delivery adds more weight to the scenes.
Sreeleela is less impressive
as a heroine, but she showcases her capabilities, engaging audiences with her
stellar beauty and dance moves.
Srikanth gets a fine role,
and though his screen presence is less, the entire show revolves around him.
Daggubati Raju also plays a fine role.
Thaman deserves appreciation
for his outstanding score, which enhances many scenes.
Minus Points:
‘Forget
the logic to enjoy the magic,’ is the quote that perfectly applies to Boyapati
Sreenu’s recent movies, especially the fight scenes in this movie. Skanda is
not an exception in this aspect. Although the fights are enjoyable and provide
an adrenaline rush to the audience, there may be moments when they question,
‘how is this even possible?’
The story mostly offers
nothing new, which is an aspect Boyapati Sreenu should concentrate on more. The
movie starts off engagingly but soon loses its momentum, maintaining a slow
pace in the second half.
Apart from crafting mass
dialogues that give goosebumps to audiences and directing mass fights that make
fans whistle, he needs to focus more on the plot, which should be engaging.
The songs and their placement
are not quite right. Except for a couple of songs, the rest are forgettable.
The film introduces too many
characters, such as Indraja, Gautami, and others, who don’t have much to
contribute to the plot. The director should have given them more scope, at
least to deliver some dialogues.
The emotional part in the
second half is decent but not outstanding. It could have been improved. Some of
the dialogues target political parties, but these might resonate more with mass
audiences, especially in B and C centers.
Technical
Aspects:
Boyapati Sreenu returns with
a mass entertainer that leans more towards action than emotion. M Ratnam’s
dialogues are acceptable and deliver goosebumps at times.
Thaman’s background score,
especially in the first half, is energetic and enhances many scenes. Santosh
Detake’s cinematography is top-notch, especially in the fight sequences.
Editing is fine, but many
unnecessary scenes in the second half could have been trimmed for better
pacing. The production values are commendable.
Verdict:
On the whole, Skanda is a
mass action entertainer that offers a solid performance by Ram Pothineni,
energetic action scenes and dances worth watching. While fans and the masses
will enjoy this high-voltage entertainer, the film’s simple story, illogical action
sequences, and a sluggish second half might not appeal to others. If you are
fine with these aspects, you may give this movie a watch this weekend.
