Oosaravelli Story:

• Tony (Jr NTR) is a street-side goon in Mumbai who does anything for money & he is currently in Hyderabad. He comes across Niharika (Tamannah) & falls in love with her. After an initial yes and no, Niharika also falls in love with Tony.
• In the meantime, Tony joins the gang of Sarkar (Jayaprakash Reddy) & through a sequence of events he reaches the mafia don Azzu Bhai’s (Prakash Raj) brother.
• But he starts killing one by one & this leads to clash between him and Niharika. However, Tony’s killing mission is all for a cause and it has a long flashback. What is that flashback? How is Niharika involved in that? What are the different character of Tony? All this forms the rest of the movie.

Performances:

• NTR comes across with reasonable performance. He underplayed when compared to his natural instincts of dramatics. NTR was good in dance & delivering few punch dialogues.
• Tamanna has come up with a performance driven role. Overall, she did a honest job. The much wanted glamour delight has not worked this time. But still tamanna glowed well in songs.
• Prakashraj has done this a number of times. For a change, he arrives only during the 2^nd half but as long as Prakashraj is there, he makes his presence felt.
• Payal Ghosh got a meaty role and she made fine use of it. Jayaprakash Reddy brought few smiles with his dialogue delivery. Raghu Babu was funny as chain Shiva.
• Shaam came & went, same with Sayaji Shinde. Rahman was smart. MS Narayana was appropriate. Murali Sharma was not used to his potential. Other artists just did their bit as required & fulfilled the screen.

  Oosaravelli Highlights:

• First half
• Etching of Junior NTR’s character
• Twists during the storyline

Oosaravelli Drawbacks:

• Second half
• Dragged sequences
• Climax
• Lack of conviction in important scenes

Oosaravelli Analysis:

• Surender Reddy proved his determination as an action and entertaining director with ‘Kick’ so the expectations were high on this movie Oosaravelli.
• With the positive pre-release publicity that was making rounds, everything looked set. After watching the first half makes you feel that you can expect another SuperHit. The interval bang raises the expectations.
• But things begin to twisting down during the second half. As such, the thought process of the director is understood but he was not capable to conceive it with the accurate punch on the screen. He lost freshness in narrating. Had the scissors worked well on 2^nd  half, it would become a better film.
• There are those fluctuations which are simply seen & everyone can feel the drag. The excellent side of the film is the different management to the script and giving an elevation to the heroine’s character. But due to the lack of strength in certain scenes, few situations pass off lightly.
• For Junior NTR fans, this will be a different movie. Except one or two high octane dialogues, most of his character is about guessing & unpredictability.
• If the makers had focused on rising the comedy track in second half along with giving a convincing climax fight sequences, the film would have been better. At the Box office, the film will land in secure zone but expecting it to be a historical grosser is a hard task.

Oosaravelli end result: Can be watched once
