[url="http://www.cinegoer.com/telugu-cinema/gallery/movies/panja2/"]Panjaa[/url] is a film of anti-heroes, all the characters either kill, get killed or languish in fear of being killed. The power between two groups, the machinations of it's members, the enmity and revenge is the crux of the story. Jai (Pawan Kalyan) plays the role of a hench man for Bhagwan (Jackie Shroff) and Kulkarni (Atul Kulkarni) comes out and forms the break away group.

The director clearly establishes the point and gives reason why you should like Jai though he is into the shady business; He in the preludes states that it is wrong not to show gratitude and also equally incorrect to expect it. Bhagwan has a battery of loyal men but trouble brews when he expects this loyalty to extend to his son as well. This stems from the insecurity he has in the face of his son's unacceptable behavior and character.

Jackie plays an interesting role of a powerful man whose love for his son clouds his judgement and refuses to see the truth in the counsel of his people around. Sesh Adivi is Munna, Bhagwan's son who triggers and precipitates the conflict. In this film Jai is shown as looking at his watch consistently to accomplish his task within the deadline.

Jai removing his footwear and walking on the grass is metaphorical, Chotu's (Ali) killing is also not offbeat, a fresh idea of bringing him onto revealing Jai's whereabouts could have added value to the story. Jhanvi (Anjali Lavania) has a fabulous height and her relationship with Jai has been etched well. She including Sarah Jane Dias bring in a fresh look and perspective to the entire story, Sara has a dreamy look but half-sarees quite don't suit her. Both the girls looked comfy in their part.

if this point works well with the fans the movie could do well, but that there is no personal enmity between Jai and rest of the people and he is in the killing job and you got to like him for that reason..then it is entirely your call. Panjaa is not a great film but not a bad one either. The action could please his fans but the lack of entertainment could work as a deterrent. The comedy song isn't great but the story and the visual effects made it watchable.
