Tiger Telugu Movie Review

'Tiger' is an emotional story told in a cinematic way.  Sans melodrama and unnecessary action, the film entertains with its excellent story sequencing and screenplay.

It is 1999 when Tiger and Vishnu were friends in an orphanage home.  Tiger thinks only he can secure the best for Vishnu.  He advises Vishnu against a couple who come to adopt him.  Vishnu excercises his free will and chooses the wannabe parents.  Years later when they are grown up, Tiger (Sundeep Kishan) seeks to ratify Vishnu's (Rahul Ravindran) girlfriend (Seerat Kapur as Ganga) only to irk Vishnu.  The turning point comes when Tiger has to hear his friend speak the most unpalatable words.

Director VI Anand delivers a clean entertainer with a screenplay that keeps the audience glued throughout.  The right dose of sentiment, comedy and action make 'Tiger' an easy watch..

The theatre of action shifts to and fro between Kashi and Rajamundry.  Tiger is a gutsy youngster who values parental relationship, being an orphan, and can do anything for the sake of his childhood friend.  Vishnu is a soft-spoken guy who woos Ganga to be his girlfriend for a week in the upscale urban space.  The two stories converge when Tiger enters the scene but spoils the show with best intentions.

Dialogues are particularly engaging.  More than witty, they are measured.  Tagubothu Ramesh and Sathya fit the bill.

If the intention was to deliver a mainly action entertainer, it would have resulted in the mundane in the second half.  Instead, the proceedings are light-veined as Tiger attempts to outsmart the opposition with intelligence.  The second half is kept to the minimum (run-time wise), obviating any need for forced comedy and song-and-dance interludes.  An attempt to save himself and Vishnu while in hospital is itself a comedy scene involving Raghu Karumanchi, Narsing Yadav and Venu, among others.

In the name of bromance, a song involving Rahul and Sundeep were best avoided.  The intention is to keep the audince glued to the plot.

The social and the sentimental converge at a point.  The lunacy of honour killing is evoked without going overboard.  The restrained narration delivers the intended message without sounding preachy.

The technical aspects are surely to the film's advantage.  Chota K Naidu's lens capture the scenes with remarkable brightness.  The regular landscape looks rich owing to the department of photography.

Another highlight is the background music.  Thaman's RR works well.  The songs could have been conceptualized better.

There is a balanced dose of Sundeep and Rahul.  Sundeep gets to deliver some lines with massy flavour and Rahul is his chocolate boy self.  Seerat Kapur of 'Run Raja Run' fame doesn't promise in terms of performance.

Verdict: An entertainer that boasts of high technical values.  A story-oriented narration, it is a breezy watch.
