Dhruva Movie Review ( Telugu)

Dhruva Telugu Movie Review

Average Ratings:3.5/5

One disappointment would be the dialogues that are weak and redundant, much like those of English movies dubbed in Telugu. And if you are the one to nitpick, then you will find the end of a powerful character like Siddharth Abhimanyu rather weak. You’d expect something on the lines of Neelambari’s death from Narasimha, but this one misses that impact – mostly because of the words it was put in than because of the actor or the script itself. However, Dhruva promises to be an edge-of-the-seat entertainer and it delivers impeccably. You won’t find yourself looking away from the screen through the two-hour-forty-minute runtime. Go watch it.

A strong hero needs a strong villain. Get that balance right and you have a hit on your hand. Dhruva, starring Ram Charan Teja as a cop and Arvind Swami as his nemesis, understands this dictum and that is where its brilliance lies.Having sketched its main characters well, Dhruva gives as much importance to its script. In fact, if the film has a third star, it is the script. The film is a tight-rope walk where the action thriller gives you just the right amount of romance and comedy without overtly leaning on either.

I haven’t seen Thani Oruvan and I haven’t bothered to know about story as well. Hence whatever I have written here is from a fresh perspective. Dhruva is an unique and intelligent tale where hero and villain don’t want to kill each other. They just want to kill the spirit in each other. Plus points of the film are story, screenplay, performances and technical values. On the flipside the runtime is lengthy and there are a few scenes that appear dragged. Dhruva is one such a kind of film that kills the familiarity and routine . Making an unfamiliar film and keeping it engaging throughout is a rare feat and Surender Reddy deserves an applause for it (though it’s a remake). Solid story, engaging screenplay and riveting performances make Dhruva an intelligent thriller which is at par with any of Hollywood or Korean films (thanks to Mohan Raja). Go and watch it!

Apart from few minor issues, the movie is right on track. Director Surender Reddy’s slick direction, Aravind Swamy’s terrific acting and Ram Charan’s makeover added with good cinematography make the film worth a watch. Overall, “Dhruva” is above average fare with story being its strength.
