Don Seenu Review

Energetic star Raviteja has donned the role of aspiring Don in his latest outing DonSeenu…This is his second outing this year…And DonSeenu is second of many sorts like he acting for second time with Shriya after Bhagiratha…And Its his second with the Producers of ‘Kick’. Except the director “GopiChand Malineni” who made his debut with this flick.

Not the Story….just the theme: Don Seenu is about an AmitabBachan Fan and a Don Aspirer Seenu …who makes his surname as “Don”. How he plays and wins a fun game with existing two rival dons and their respective sisters is the entire movie about…

RaviTeja’s show….

If there is someone who made us sit for 2 hours in the theatre…It is no doubt Raviteja…He is now the master blaster of his genre…He imitating Amitab and remembering “Don” scenes is pretty nice. Though this movie is no different from his other movies...It does not disappoint the audience who expect the same from this “Mass Raja”…Scenes where he plays dumb remarks his ease …

His Co-stars…

Shriya had a great come back with this movie…She looks stunning in the movie. Thanks to the costume designer…for such a show.

There is other girl Anjana Sukani…She is just ok...fitted her role well

Srihari would not even need to rehearse for his role…because he played the same in countless movies…But he still spills laughs with Telangana dialect. Shiyaji shindey is also at ease and I think he is more comfortable in Telugu now.

Ali as sidekick of hero is good. Brahmanandam had brief but entertaining part. The response for his entrance is as usual over whelming.

Not a fresh treatment from a fresh Director…

GopiChand who worked as apprentice of Srinu Vaitla had borrowed his style to nice extent in second half. But he is good at screenplay with no confusion. His comedy timing is smart enough and could make the audience engaged throughout. He would have been more safer if at all he would not have stammered at the climax. So more innovate the director is…sooner he gets registered with audience, But GopiChand scores just pass marks.

Movie flow and other Departments…

First Half moves smoothly in picturesque locales of Germany. It is nice camerawork from Sameer Reddy to entice us with Shriya and scenic beauty at the same time. Second half moves in time tested “Read’Dhee” style. And a little twist that leads to again a very much boring climax like the 10 minute fight and a family photo at the end…Luckily no police this time .

Manisharma had not given a single soothing tune for our Don…but he is ok with background core…Title song sung by Baba Seghal is a better one…

So Drawbacks as said earlier are music and slower and time tested second half/climax.

Final Verdict…

Raviteja fans and Shriya admirers …would definitely love this movie…

Movie has good production values and some Paisa vasool stuff...

It is definitely “One-Time-Pass” movie for all looking for killing the time without getting caught.

Rating…

3.25/5
