Movie Review: HEART ATTACK (By Hapra)
Rating: 3/5
Cast: Nitin, Adah Sharma, Brahmandam, Ajay, Kesha Khambati, Tejaswini and Prakash Raj
Cinematogrpaher: Amol Rathod
Action: Ram Laxman
Art director: Brahma Kadali
Music: Anup Rubens
Story-Screenplay-Dialogues-Direction: Puri Jagan
Release date: 31st January, 2013
After going through a spate of flops, Puri Jagan is finally testing water with his own production venture ‘Heart Attack’ this time. In post release interviews, he stated that the film will be refreshing commercial masala flick and let us see what he really offered.
The CONTENT
Varun (Nitin) is a traveller, who loves to travel different places all the time and works for part-time at that place to earn a living. At the time Varun enters Spain, a girl from India, Hayathi (Adah Sharma) lands up there to meet her friend Priya (Kesha Kambati) and help her in love. Priya’s father Iskon Ramana (Brahmanandam) runs an Iskon centre and he is a staunch Lord Krishna devotee.
By the time Hayathi convinces Ramana about Priya’s love, she falls in love with Varun who is trailing all the time for a ‘kiss’. What happens when Varun seeks a kiss but neither love nor relation, and how Adah escapes Varun is the interval bang. From then, scene shifts to India, with Varun trying to find out Adah and encountering drug lord Makrand.
The EFFORT :
On-Screen:
Nitin looks extremely handsome and stylish in his new look. He breathed freshness into hero’s character, and behaved impressive like a Puri’s hero. Cool dances, and effective dialogue delivery are his assets. But he is a bit low in fights, an area in which Puri’s heroes are awesome all the time.
Adah Sharma makes you spell binding with her terrific performance. She is beautiful, but hasn’t done any glamour show like Puri’s heroines. Her splendid expressions and beautiful screen presence attracts youths.
Apart from Nitin and Adah, new girl Kesha Kambati who played Venky’s side kick in ‘Shadow’ has done a decent role as heroine’s friend. Also Tejaswini (SVSC fame) too attracted attention in the role of Brahmi’s daughter.
Brahmanadam is as usual at his best, though the role is quite okay, his conversations with Lord Krishna and reactions regarding her daughter’s love are terrific. First half belongs to Brahmi’s entertaining quotient. Ajay proved that he quite superb as a villain, and he scores marks. Same is the case with Ali who played Tamil Rajnikanth in second half. Pulling few laughs, he fits the bill perfectly with a couple of double entendres too.
Prakash Raj just shined in a small role, of no importance, but made his presence felt for whistles and claps. Another lady who is famous for that Welcom Kanakam song in Baadshah too sparkled in a miniscule role.
Off-Screen:
Once again Puri Jagan is best at his direction, though he selected a simple story again. The way he made scenes run racy with his upbeat screenplay made the flick interesting. In weaving ingredients like comedy, double meanings, peppy scenes and interesting moments, Puri is second to none. Also he has done good job as dialogue writer again, as some one-liners are simply cracking theatres into whistles.
Cinematographer Amola Rathod did a fantastic job and every frame in Heart Attack is rich and new. If Spain is beautiful, Amol’s work made it best. Refreshingly new camera angles and breezy inter-cuts between shots are what Amol’s strongest areas. At the same time, art director Brahma Kadali’s work, colour palette and vibrant ideas complemented the film’s look well. Costumes are also superb as everyone will now think about wearing stuff like Nitin’s and Adah’s.
Anup Rubens already scored a peppy album that got a couple of songs like ‘Nuvvante Naaku’ and ‘Choopinchandey’ that became chartbusters while emotional song ‘Selavanuko’ is hot favourite. He did well with background score too, literally pouring life to this simple flick.
Ram-Laxman’s action choreography is impressive again with top notch fights, while SR Sekhar’s editing is crisp and intuitive.
The PLUSES:
· First half dialogues, satires
· Nitin and Adah Sharma
· Cinematography
· Songs and background score
· Fights
The MINUSES:
· Poor and predictable story
· Simple climax
BREAKDOWN:
All the time, Puri Jagan showcases that woman are a bit less in terms of heart and love, but this time he kept woman on a high. Probably, as his wife Lavanya is the producer, he might have changed his version. Rather sticking to negative aspects, he came out of that and tried to portray pure love, emotions and a masla story. But yes, story is missing again.
Like in all formulaic flicks, Puri introduces a villain and his strength in Goa and then shifts scene to Spain for a love story. Though the way hero tackles heroine is quite new, there is nothing fresh in terms of story. Audience could expect what will happen next. Anyway, Puri’s dialogues and screenplay will hold the grip. In a scene, where Puri says that ‘Titanic’ is destroyed due to two lovers, one will get goose bumps for his different review on an acclaimed hit Hollywood flick. But if anyone expects too much romance in this love story, then they should know the fact that Puri’s love stories will have more dialogues and less of romance. And after a fall out, scene shifts to India, hero finds his lover, kills the goon and the end. Sometimes Idiot, and sometimes Sivamani, but not a heart attack really. Predictable, but pleasant!!!
As usual our director made hero to tell some philosophies, and again stressed that ‘extraordinary’ philosophy said by Pawan in Rambabu movie is right. Though Puri tried to portray the strengths of Nitin, our hero’s minuses too played their part. Nitin worked very well on his body language but haven’t got that punch in fights. Also his dialogue delivery needs some workout, as he is rolling out in areas still. Had he been more effective like a Raviteja, this film would have become an Idiot. But this time, only an average fare.
The FINISHING Line: ‘Average’ attack, thought it hits heart!!
