Tuntari Movie Review
Story:
Raju (Nara Rohit) hails from Vishakapatnam and is an Awara. One day, five IT Techies approach him with a deal. According to that, he has to get trained in boxing and participate in a competition. They offer him One Lakh Rupees for that. Raju readily agrees for that. But he uses them to fullfill all his works including helping him in his love with Siri (Latha Hegde).
Later when the competition day arrives, the ruthless professional boxer, Killer Raju (Kabir Dulhan Singh) is the one to fight and a competition with him means only death. What happens further in Raju’s life and the story, forms the rest.
Performances:
Nara Rohit is always weak in comedy. But in this film, he registered some improvement. His comedy timing got better a bit if not significant. The new girl, Latha Hegde gets a very average marks. On glamour front, she is just okay while it is forgettable outing on performance front. Kabir Dulhan Singh suited the role of Professional boxer but his screen time is limited. Vennela Kishore, Sudhardhan, Poojitha Batch did some good comedy. Adhurs Raghu and Shakalaka Shankar are wasted little characters.
Technical Performances:
Kumar Nagendra once again impressed with his story selection and framing. However the faltered in getting the emotions right. A story like this needs engaging narration in which he badly failed. The story moves forward with out any excitement. Further there no real emotion and connect in the love story as well. The original is two and half hours long while the remake is put to two hours, but still the film is not racy.
Further there are traces of Amma Nanna O Tamil Ammayi feel in the film and the climax is predictable. Sai Kartheek is once again disappointing with his music. However the back ground score is slightly better. Palani Kumar’s camera work is good and Madhu’s editing is decent. Dialogues are again okay while Production Values are impressive.
Plus Points:
1. Story line
2. Interval
3. Comedy here and there
Minus Points:
1. Missing Feel
2. Predictable Climax.
Final Say:
A perfect lead pair, a sensational music director prompted success to Maan Karate. But all that worked for Maan Karate are missing in Tuntari. At best the film can be a very tough one time watch. Another disappointment by Nara Rohit!
