Title - ARJUNA, Producers - Mansoor and Muthuraju, Direction - PC Shekhar, Music - Arjun Janya, Cinematography - Kumaran, Cast - Devaraj, Prajwal Devaraj, Bhama, Kaddi Pudi Chandru, Girish, Ramesh Bhat, Rajashekhar Naidu, Vijaykumar and others.
In the days of high level investigative works in small screen this `Arjuna' falls flat with no novel thinking. The cop utilizing the gadgets to know the proceedings of criminals is outdated. In addition to such deplorable issue, the criminal Arjuna is set free a by cop looks not in good taste of judiciary.
PC Shekhar home work for investigation subject is far low in standards. As for as the concept is concerned there is nothing new! It is a routine revenge saga for that family members support. From the eyes of audience Arjuna is also criminal.
Arjuna pregnant wife (Bhama) is killed by a powerful DC, corrupt politician and a senior cop. Arjuna has informed the Lok Ayuktha in bringing to book the trio. Before targeting Arjuna, the trio kills his wife. That is enough for revenge. Arjuna kills a DC and a senior cop. When he is about to kill corrupt politician the investigative cop (who spends most of his time sitting inside a car near Arjuna house) reaches the spot. The cop kills corrupt politician and Arjuna is set free. That is injustice of law abiding officer.
What happened to Arjuna earlier two crimes? The message at the end is `Kill criminals without leaving clue of your killing'.
Devaraj has a routine role. Prajwal has something different in his 24th film. He is cool and composed. Bhama is attractive in her short presence.
Cinematography and music are just below average. Shekhar and his team need to give different thinking and make their eyes wide open on what is made so far on crime thrillers. CID in Sony TV serial is much better compared to this `Arjuna'.
Score 5/10
