Golimaar Review

Puri Jagannath who is struggling so hard to prove his mettle since the block buster “Pokiri” is failing miserably at box office. And this summer, he has yet again tried his luck with a cop flick “Golimar” which is roughly based on Encounter specialist Dayanayak. Let us check out if this Gopichand’s Golimaar could bring any cheers to him.

Story: GangaRam (Gopichand) aspires to become police right from childhood. He realizes his dream and also he is soon appointed as Encounter Specialist. He is given a tough task of wiping out two rival gangs one operated locally and other from Malaysia. But he realizes lately that fate has something else for him which turns his life upside down!!

What are the incidents that trembled his life? How did he achieve his goal at the end? Forms the gist of the movie.

Analysis

Movie begins in lines of Ek Niranjan (where a kid aspires to become police).Movie Runs in pace during the first half thanks to the expertise of Jagan. Interval bang is nice.

Twist in second half appeals to the audience. But the sudden transformation of the hero’s character is something that turn’s suicidal and movie becomes predictable and turns out to be same old masala which is made earlier by the same director.

Actors:

Gopichand is sincere. He is natural in dialog and fights. He is solely the relief in the movie.

Priyamani is just ok. Make up is the spoiler. But dubbing which is by herself is fresh. She has few hilarious scenes where she could bring some smiles.

Roja who did the role of Priyamani’s mother becomes preachy in most of the scenes. But she leaves her mark towards the end.

Nazar has become routine. Kelli Dorjee impresses as Malaysia don.

Jeeva, MS Narayana are ok. Ali has brief cameo.

Po”kirikiri”

"Evadu kodithey dimma tirigi mind block avuddo vaadey pandugaadu" says Mahesh in his pokiri.I think that movie really blocked puri's mind

Two Rival gangs, Police-Gangster fights, Continuous shoot outs, Heroine going behind the hero and crying for him, Climax scene where the hero heads towards the Gangster added with “samaramey” background music for many scenes strictly and definitely reminds you of Pokiri. Off course the director used the direct screenplay this time and has chosen Malaysia as villain’s refuge.

Puri's Sparks:

Nevertheless few scenes and dialogues which had Puri’s mark are seen here and there.

Interval scene listing out all notorious things done by mafia is bit informative.

Very few dialogue punches this time.

"police laa behave cheyi, hero laa kaadu - naaku matram police ante hero ne sir".” ninnu nuvve mosam chesukunte...sanka naaki pothav”

Forgot to say Songs leave no impact.

Final Verdict:

To Sum up, the time tested theme, the Pokiri resemblances and predictable last half diluted the racy first half thus making the movie stand somewhere between average and below average fare.

But people who still admire Puri can definitely have a look.

Also for those who watch most of movies...Golimar can be considered for time pass .

As a lover of Puri's earlier films,I sincerely wish Puri to start fresh .

Rating:

2.5/5 Not so great..same time not so bad either..
