'Bluff Master' is a heist thriller and we know for one thing that its hero (played by Sathyadev of 'Jyothi Lakshmi' fame) is in for earning filthy big.  A crook, he doesn't know the difference between making enough money and looting for dominance.  'We need money for everything', he declares, without adding that he has power in his mind.   

A hero-oriented thriller, how the film plays out the muddled morals of the hero can be interesting to watch.  For aggressive characterizations to work, you need an actor with a forceful screen presence.  Is Sathyadev one?  We will know it soon.  

Nandita Swetha of 'Ekkadiki Pothavu Chinnavada' fame gets to play a romantic role.  Aditya Menon, Prudhvi, Brahmaji, Sijju (as a cop), Chaitanya Krishna, Dhanraj, Srirama Reddy, Venu Gopala Rao, Fish Venkat, Bunny Chandu and others are part of the cast.    

The story is by H Vinoth, the Kollywood director of 'Khakee' fame (the film is a remake).   

Directed by Gopiganesh Pattabhi (who also pens the dialogues), its music is by Sunil Kashyap.  Cinematography is by Dasarathi Sivendra.  Editing is by Naveen Nooli and art direction is by Brahma Kadali.  

'Bluff Master' releases on December 28.
