Dhada Review

Young Yuvasamrat Nagachaitanya is quick to come back this year for second time with his new flick “Dhada” after hitting the bull’s eye with 100% Love for summer. He pairs with lucky mascot Kajal.  New comer Ajay Bhuyan handles the direction and movie produced by Akkineni’s almost the home banner Kamakshi films.

Let’s check out if Chai really about to make the box-office shiver with his Dhada…

Plot: Viswa (Naga Chaitanya) just completes the graduation in USA. He lives with his brother who loves him the most. He falls for a rich but lonely girl Ria (Kajal) and in parallel messes up with a cruel don RD (Rahul Dev) who runs a huge sex racket and other illegal stuff in Las Vegas. How he wins his lady and puts an end to the villain is all “Dhada” about!!

Actors:  

 Nagachaitanya...(Let’s go with his pet name chai to make it simpler going forward)…so far was seen in pretty cool zone just romancing the girls either in colleges or going around trees tries to do action-oriented stuff this time. Well if you just look at chaitu leaving aside the things around…he improves a lot in dances…steps up to the next level in romance scenes…But there’s still a lot of space for improvisation in all other regular scenes. He could gel well with action sequences with good physique and lure his lady fans with cool looks and costumes that suit him the best.

Its relief for people who are bored watching Kajal in choodidhaars...as she sheds some inhibitions and increases the glamour quotient in songs there by heating up the surroundings for a while. But her sober character remains the same in this movie too and off-song, her hair-do just irritates us. Over all, just loved her in the songs than never before.

Rahul Dev puts up decent act. Kelli Dorge the helicopter boy does his favorite past time here too. Tamil actor Sriram though played pivotal role looked very dull throughout. Samiksha who is seen as his wife is adequate.

Brahmanandam, Ali are forcefully forced to enhance the torture…so it is just additional pain to what we see on screen. Mukesh rishi as Kajal’s father had meaningless role.

Simple plot screwed by jumping screenplay!!

Well the story is rather simple one, Boy meets girl for songs and he beats up bad guys in frequent intervals and he feels emotional for his family. And the movie is exactly made up of few scenes each for the Heroes romance, fights and family which come one after other every 10 min. And there is neither perfect sync nor fun element that ties these repetitive scenes.

“Dhada” is actually Ajay Bhuyan’s second, while his first film “Houseful” is still mugging in boxes for long time. He did not come up with any surprises and he is fine with scene by scene. But while summing up the things together, they are not in order. Nor there is effective camerawork or engaging background score that sets up interest for the audience.  


While First half flows ok which ends with a simple twist in hope for better second. Second looses track by the time we get to extended climax.

Songs are the savior….

In this bumpy ride, songs come to our rescue in regular intervals…All the songs composed well by Devi Sri Prasad are still colorful on screen. “Hello Hello Laila” which is chartbuster is superbly pictured (although the song creeps in for no reason). “Bhoome gundranga” and “Telugu Bengali” throw light on Chai’s effort in dances. Let’s cheer him for that. “Deewali Deepani” shows the sensuous side of Kajal.  So songs are the best part of the entire film and One scene where Chaitu asks Kajal for date using set of photographs adding up to say “What About A Date” seemed little innovative.

Finally…

Well if only for looking at chai as to how he could handle action genre, He has done his job well. But sad he is not amply supported by technical team. People looking only for Chai’s looks, Kajal’s glamour and colorful songs should just sit through the movie patiently and wait for that, 5 minutes when song plays.


More effort on screenplay and trimming the dragging parts would have made a crispier and better film.

Rating:

2.25/5. Dhada ...going up title might not shiver the box-office but should get good openings for Hero's good track record and for Dhada big direct Telugu release after a gap
