Chirutha Review

Though the sons of heroes and producers making their entry into the films is not new to the Telugu film industry, the debut appearance of Ram Charan is something different. While Balakrishna, Harikrishna, NT Rama Rao (junior) and for that matter Maheshbabu made their debut appearances as child artistes first and then became heroes. There is another category like Nagarjuna and Venkatesh who became heroes straight. But for any of these heroes there was no such hype in the film industry.

However, the entry of Ram Charan, son of the the King of Telugu Cinema, Padma Bhushan, Mega Star, Dr Chiranjeevi, made a lot of difference among all. Right from the launch of the film, there was lot of hype and expectations on Ram Charan's film.

Moreover, his entry is being made through the hands of stalwarts like versatile director Puri Jagannath and Mega Producer Chalasani Aswinidutt on a prestigious banner like Vyjayanti Movies. With his last film 'Pokiri', which rewrote the Box Office records of the 75-year-old Telugu film industry's history, Puri Jagannath owned a great responsibility to continue the stature in his next film. At the same time, Vyjayanti Movies banner had no notable hit to its credit in the recent past and is craving for a big hit.

Keeping all these factors in mind and keeping the image of Mega Brothers in Telugu film industry, each and every craft of the film industry worked with dedication and gave their best, which ultimately resulted in a tremendous platform for the Little Mega Power Star and the film received fantastic applause right from the front benchers to the balcony class.

Charan (Ram Charan) is the son of an auto driver, who gets killed by Mattanna (Asish Vidyarthi). Charan's mother also gets stabbed him. To save his mother's life, Charan goes to jail as a proxy in a murder case. On his return from jail, Charan learns that his mother is dead. Accidentally, Charan meets Sanjana (Neha Sharma), the daughter of a millionaire Kartikeya (Prakashraj). Later, Charan gets a job in Bangkok as a travel guide and meets Sanjana there again. In Bangkok, Charan teaches Bittu a lesson when the latter tries to tease Sanjana. Again Bittu attacks them when they were alone. In a bid to escape, Sanjana and Charan gets caught in an island and love blossoms between them. Charan reveals that he came to Bangkok not exclusively for a job but in search of Mattanna to take revenge. On information that Sanjana was missing, Kartikeya reaches Bangkok and finds her with Charan. As Sanjana leaves Kartikeya because her love towards Charan, Kartikeya tells him that he would get back his mother if he is ready to leave Sanjana. Charan who loves his mother most agrees to the proposal. Did Charan meet his mother? How Charan took revenge against Mattanna? What happened to the love between Charan and Sanjana? Answers to all these questions form part of the climax.

Performance:

Charan (Ram Charan): This debutant hero knows pretty well that he has the legacy of his father and there were heavy expectations on his film both in the audiences and in the industry. He did a lot of homework and worked very hard. His body language, histrionics made the audiences to feel awe. Especially none would believe that he is a debutant and facing the camera for the first time. He showed perfect ease in dances, action scenes and also in sentiment scenes. He competed with his father and brother-in-law (Allu Arjun) in dances. Even in action scenes, his toned body was fantastically captured by the camera and presented on the screen in a fitting way.

Sanjana (Neha Sharma): The heroine is basically a model from Mumbai. She filled the glamour slot well and also put up good performance as a rich girl, who always thinks that she could get anything with mon
