PANJAA marks the
reincarnation of Pawan Kalyan. In the movie, he's a man with brain and brawn,
and yet with an understated presence. A person who relies on his thinking and
reasoning rather than getting carried by the stream. Hence the reactions and
emotions are controlled and sophisticated. Sarah Jane Dias looks uber cool as urban
lass but loses the sheen when she wears half sarees to ooze some villagish
aura.
Everyone in the technical
department is a winner. The director's stylish treatment reminds me of the
Hollywood gangster flicks. Our hero dressed in suits and sporting a
close-cropped beard, his use of countdown timer in every assignment – he's
shown it all. But, the actions sequences need to be choreographed to
perfection. A fatal flaw - Gangsters always take cover while shootouts, but
here to exhibit their heroics everybody turns suicidal.
Yuvan's music is memorable
and the background score is phenomenal especially in the action sequences. It
created the right mood and pace for the film. Every song is complemented with picture-perfect visuals. 'Paparayudu' number is a show
stealer. I'd have loved a few more romantic numbers, though!!
Despite the predictability
of the script, the narrative is intriguing and engaging. Traditional school of
thought says that a movie's success lies in its ability to sell itself to
galleries and front-benchers alike. Some people started cribbing it as
old-wine-in-a-new-bottle approach, run-on-the-mill stuff and other blah lines.
I would rather say that most of the tales in recent times are a rehash of the
older ones but the way one adorns it makes the difference.
Don't miss this one… It's
worth watching… :) :)
