Alluri starring Sree Vishnu in the lead role has hit the screens today. Let’s see how it is.
Story: Alluri prominently revolves around the life story of a police officer named Alluri Seetharama Raju. What kind of professional and personal challenges will Alluri face for being a sincere cop? To know that, you have to watch the film in the nearest theaters.
Performances: For the first time in his career, Sree Vishnu played cop role. This body transformation for the role is good and tried to portray the lead role in a convincing manner. His look as a police officer is okay and the decent performance elevates crucial episodes.
Actor Suman gets a purposeful role as a higher grade officer. Heroine Kayadu Lohar is fine in her role as a typical housewife. The family emotions between the lead pair are established on a decent manner.
Noted actors such as Raja Ravindra, Tanikella Bharani, comedian Prudhvi, Madhusudan Rao among others are apt in their respective roles.
Technicalities: The photography by Raj Thota registers well. The way he showcased the entire film on a raw format brings authentic flavour to the proceedings.
Editing by Dharmendra Kakarala is fine but he would have chopped off close to ten minutes in the second half for a crisp runtime. Music by Harshavardhan Rameshwar shines well. Keeping aside songs, the background score elevates the mood of all action sequences nicely.
Production design is decent and so is the case with the production values.
Analysis: Written and directed by Pradeep Varma, Alluri is a serious cop drama that showcases the sincerity of a police officer. Pradeep’s intension of making a cop film is good and he even wrote a few sequence in an impressive manner. While the hero character establishment scenes in the first half are executed on a decent manner, the action part in the second half is definitely an advantage for the movie.
To summerize, Alluri is the story of a sincere cop who goes to any extent to perform his duties. While Sree Vishnu did a good job, the family emotions added with action elements in the second half makes the film a satisfactory watch.
Verdict: Honest attempt!
Rating: 2.5/5
