Run Movie Review
Story:
Sanjay aka Sanju (Sundeep Kishan) is a middle class guy who suddenly loses his job due to the recession. For his sister’s wedding, Sanju borrows money from Vaddi Raja (Bobby Simha), a tough head who goes to any extent to recover his loans. As expected, Sanju could not repay his loan. When Vaddi Raja sets him a deadline, he some how arranges the money but gets robbed before he repays. On another track, Sanju has a childhood lover, Ammu (Anisha) and plans to elope with her. Things get in to a mess from all corners for Sanju. What happens next in the story forms the rest.
Performances:
Sundeep Kishan is good as always but some how could not get in to the shoes of the character. Anisha Ambrose has very limited character and do not get the scope to showcase her acting abilities. It is also the same with Mahath Raghavendra. Only Brahmaji and Bobby Simha gets sizeable characters and they make an impression. Kasi Vishwanath over acts as a middle class father. Posani, Praveen and Madhunanadhan are wasted.
Technical Performances:
Ani Kanneganti struggled for a chance after two back to back flops. Finally when he got one, he failed to make use of the chance. A film like Run which happens in a day and is a thriller, a gripping narration is needed to drive the things. But Ani failed to make an impression despite having every thing at his disposal. It is a good example how insipid direction can let off a film even though it has a solid script and cast.
Except one song, rest of the album composed by Sai Kartheek is bad. The back ground score is okay even though it is loud at places. Camera work by B.Rajashekar is below par. Editing should have been better. Dialogues are totally ineffective. Production Values are okay.
Plus Points:
1. Short duration
2. Screenplay
3. Brahmaji and Bobby Simha
Minus Points:
1. Lack of gripping narration.
2. No Thrills and emotions
Final Say:
Run is almost a copy paste of the original but is devoid of a gripping narration and good performances. The movie can not get any closer to the original in engaging the audience. Those who did not see that, may find this film just okay. Those who watched Neram, better watch it once again.
