Story:Tony(NTR) is a peculiar minded guy who does
settlements for money.He falls in love with Niharika(Thamanna) in some
strange circumstances in Kashmir.He comes to Hyderabad on mission to
destroy the group of AjjuBhai(PrakashRaj). Rest of the story reveals why
he killed goons and how is Thamanna related to main plot.
Performances:
NTR:Obsolutely brilliant performance from young
tiger.Though his character is an extension to raviteja's kick ,ntr
presented the role in a mature way, in every scene he justifies the
title Oosaraveli. Even in melody dominating album he excelled at dance
,especially in love ante caring and dhandiya beats.The way he carried
emotions and
dialogue delivery in
interval bang is topnotch.Though the movie suffers with improper second
half, he maintained the required energy levels.NTR made a special
mention about this experimentation before the release of the movie, It
is truely justified with his performance.He reminded the Adhurs Chary
again, in the innocent scenes.Once again he proved that he has the
calibre to produce any kind of entertainment and act as best hero
material for any director.Only Negative about NTR is his regaining
weight.He looks flabby in closeup shots.He has to work on that.
Thamanna: She is sweet and cute.As Director promised
Thamanna got a lion's share in the movie,entire story is build around
her role.She balances glamour and performance effectively.She scores
good marks with her performance in second half.It's her best performance
till date.She is value for money product for any Producer.The scene
where she prays for god to show a path for her , followed by pleading
NTR to help her , is worth noting here.For the first time she acted in
such performance oriented role and she did a good job.
PrakashRaj: He plays a typical villain again, with
mafia backdrop.Telugu audience are tired of seeing villain mafia
dons.His character adds more routine and dragged feel to the second
half.Actor with tremendous calibre,Prakash raj should try something
different , he has nothing new to offer these days.One might wonder how
his character in the movie is different from what he played in Pokiri.
Others:Raghubabu again proved his mettle as
comedian,his comedy struck chord with audience. Jayaprakash Reddy as
sarkar is excellent.NTR's friend Raghu is very good.MS Narayana brought
huge laughters in a scene where Raghubabu batch tricks him and threatens
him to make his Tanents(Heroine and her freind) vacate
the home.Payal Gosh as heroine's freind is adequate.Thanikela Bharani, 'Kick' Shyam have less sceeen presence.
Screenplay-Direction: Surendar Reddy did a good
job in the
first half of the movie.He succeeded in offering fresh comedy.As he
said in most of the interviews, he is very good at handling Comedy.Just
as Vinayak, Even though he doesnt have any strong story backup he ran
the show with comedy sequences.NTR's character in this movie is pure
extension of Kick and his other previous movies.While comedy and hero
character reminds us of Kick movie ,Action sequences are uptaken from
Athanokkade, Ashok and Athidhi.He should have done better
homework for second half.His story narration and screenplay became too routine and
at times
they look ameturish.On a whole , Surendar reddy is more than a bankable
director for comedy entertainers.Tollywood ,watchout we have another VV
vinayak in making.
Other Departments: DevisriPrasad's melodies are
perfectly complemented by Rasool Ellore's excellent
cinematography.However dancebeats are dissappointing.Background score is
adequate.Especially, the background for Jayaprakash and Raghubabu
brought few laughters.Oosaravelli background song is just ok.Coming to
other departments, Choregraphy is good in the melody songs.Stunts and
action sequences are good.Editing is crisp.
Titbits:
There are hardly any punch dialogues in the movie worth noting.All
dialogues have a ordinary language with extra ordinary emotions from
NTR.However we present few dialogues which are worth hearing to.

Highlights:
NTR's all round performance.
Comedy in first half.
Thamanna performance.
Interval Bang.
Introduction scene : showing a skeleton and describing each part,
while entire body is made. Extremely creative way of introducing a hero.
Negatives:
Story is routine.
Almost zero
entertainment in second half.
Too much of content in second half.
Predictable climax.
Final Verdict: First half is hilarious and
entertaining. Onscreen chemistry between lead pair worked well.NTR's
performance is versatile .He is extremely energetic throughout the
movie.Heroine's role is refreshing, after so many regular namesake
heroine characters.After the excellent first half and terrific interval
bang, nothing worked well in the movie.Second half is dragging and messy
with too much of content to digest.Surendar Reddy unviels nonstop
story, leaving audience uncomfortable and unsettling.Action fights
became too routine .Entire story is narrated in just 20-30 mins in
second half.Rest of the movie is just a routine show.Had he handled the
second half in a better way, Oosaravelli would have been a Excellent
movie.Surendar reddy extracted content from all his previous flicks like
saving heroine lifted from Athidi, Hero characterization from Kick,Story Narration from Athanokkade.
First half will work in all the centres.Second half does not appeal
to hardcore NTR fans, as the plot is very confusing and convoluted. On a
whole Its a decent entertainer with good comedy.
Last word: Watch it for comedy and NTR
