Review : Patas – Full On Paisa Vasool Entertainer

Kalyan Ram Nandamuri has been waiting for a big hit desperately since a while. With ‘Patas’, he has taken the action entertainer route and debut director Anil Ravipudi has handled the film. The movie has come in with a good buzz but can it live up to the expectations? Check out our review to know more.

 

Story : 

Kalyan Sinha (Kalyan Ram) is a daring but corrupt police officer. He believes in making money and encourages rampant corruption in the department. He is adored by his subordinates because he makes them very rich. This attitude puts him in trouble with the DGP (Sai Kumar).

When the DGP digs some background info, he realises that Kalyan Sinha has an agenda behind all these activities. Kalyan Sinha also teams up with the crooked and ruthless politician GK (Ashutosh Rana), to irritate the DGP.

Everything changes when GK’s brother commits an act of crime that strikes at the heart of Kalyan Sinha. He realises his error and transforms into a sincere officer dedicated to the destruction of GK. He uses his courage as well as his intelligence to take on GK and bring him to justice.

How he goes about this is what ‘Patas’ is all about.

 

Plus Points : 

- This is Kalyan Ram’s best film to date. He looks good in this movie and he has played to his strengths. Instead of relying overly on heroism, he has chosen the entertainment angle and that has worked very well. His performance as ACP Kalyan Sinha is very good,

- The film is very racy and entertaining. It is one of the best commercial entertainers that I have seen in recent times, with everything falling into place perfectly. The director has blended comedy as well as high voltage emotions into the story brilliantly. He has also projected Kalyan Ram in the right way, giving him just the required amount of heroism without going overboard.

- The supporting actors, led by M.S. Narayana, Prithvi (30 years Industry), Prabhas Raju, Srinivas Reddy, Shakalaka Shankar and others, have done a very good job. They keep the film going with their good comedy timing. Posani Krishna Murali and Jayaprakash Reddy have brief but entertaining characters. Ashutosh Rana is ok as the villain.

- The interval scene, post interval elevation scenes and the confrontation scenes between Kalyan Ram and Ashutosh Rana are going to draw whistles from the front benches. ‘Are o Samba’ song comes in at the right time and it will entertain Nandamuri fans in a big way.

 

Minus Points : 

-  The climax is very routine and weak. The tempo ends after the ‘Are o Samba’ song and the last 10 – 15 minutes could have been better.

-  Predictable and cliched story is a chink in the armour. The makers are lucky because very good screenplay and narration offset this weakness to a large extent. The heroine of the film is not up to the mark. A more glamorous actress would have worked wonders.

 

Technical Aspects :  

Cinematography is pretty good throughout. Editor Thammiraju deserves applause for his work as the film rarely loses pace. He has ensured that there are no unnecessary scenes. Dialogues are entertaining and director Anil Ravipudi is a talent to watch out for.

His grip on narration is very good. He has shown maturity in the way he has handled Kalyan Ram and he has the potential to direct big budget films with mass heroes. Sai Karthik has given the film some very good background score. Songs are also decent.

 

Verdict : 

‘Patas’ is a good example of a full on paisa vasool entertainer. It is fast, it is entertaining and it will make you clap with joy when the hero scores a victory. This is Kalyan Ram’s best film to date and it also introduces Anil Ravipudi as a very promising talent. Go watch ‘Patas’ this weekend and have some good fun.

 

Critic’s Rating – 3.5/5
