V Movie Review
STORY:
Aditya(Sudheer Babu) is a dynamic police officer who gets many awards and fame for solving criminal cases. On the other hand, a killer(Nani) jumps into the scene by killing a police officer and challenges Aditya to catch him before he kills his next targets. Who is this killer and why he is committing crimes by challenging DCP Aditya forms the rest of the story.
PERFORMANCES:
Nani has nailed it, his performance as a killer was top notch. Be it dialogue delivery or expressions he stole the show. Sudheer Babu is impressive as an energetic police officer. His acting skills have improved a lot and this is his career’s best performance.
Nivetha Thomas has done a great job in her role and looks glamorous. Aditi Rao Hydari is neat in her role and has performed well. Vennela Kishore was good in his role however it’s not a comedy role for him. All other characters were short and justified their roles.
TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT:
Director Mohankrishna Indraganti has done an excellent job in the first half. Though the story seems routine revenge drama he presented it very well with a gripping screenplay in the first half. However, he failed to match the curiosity in the second half as it goes downhill and the climax is just disappointing.
Action sequences were composed well in the film. Production values are good and each frame looks rich. Songs composed by Amit Trivedi are good and the BGM by Thaman is apt for the scenes, although it gives you Rakshasudu vibes. Cinematography is decent and Editing is done properly.
PLUS POINTS:
- Acting
- Action sequences
- BGM
MINUS POINTS:
- Lagging second half
- Crime motive is not as convincing
VERDICT:
V is a decent action thriller that has some very good action sequences and gripping moments in the first half. However, the narration goes awry in the second half and the climax is devoid of any excitement. With thrillers, the screenplay should keep you on the edge but that’s not the case here which is a bit disappointing. With audience starved for new content, it is a decent watch.
