Kireeti Reddy, son of industrialist Gali Janardhan Reddy, debuted with Junior, as a leading actor, in Kannada and Telugu languages. Sreeleela played the leading lady role with Genelia making a comeback. V. Ravichandran did a prominent role in the movie. Viral Vayyari song brought huge buzz for the film and let’s discuss about it in detail.
Plot:
Abhinav (Kireeti Reddy) loves to capture memories and he lives every moment to the fullest. His friends fear him as he is hell bent on making memories at the expense of them. His father Kodandapani (Ravichandran) treats him with so much love that Abhi feels restless around him. As Kodandapani became father at 45 years of age and lost his wife during Abhi’s birth, he turns over protective. So, Abhi wants to escape him and he comes to Hyderabad to join in a big college for higher studies.
As he is top ranker, he gets seat in the college he wished without much issue. He starts to like Spoorthi (Sreeleela) and for her enters into Rise Technologies as an intern. There he meets ill-tempered head Vijaya (Genelia). He finds an issue in CSR funds and exposes but she doesn’t care. What happens next? Why she ignored this and what is her connection with this? Watch the movie to know more.
Analysis:
Kireeti Reddy is good in dancing and has a very acrobatic body. He is able to pull off highly difficult moves and elaborated physical stunts. As an actor though he needs to develop his skill in expressing his grief but for a new comer he did well. Sreeleela is an eye candy in the film and nothing else.
Genelia Deshmukh did well in many scenes but she needed much better writing support. Ravichandran got an author backed role and he did well. Devi Sri Prasad’s BGM is better than his songs and at places he did elevate the emotional scenes with his score.
But the writing is too scattered for a film that focuses on a debutant. It over sells the youngster as a lead at places rather than giving him scope to grow on us. While he did try his best to pull off stunts and emotional scenes, the script felt too heavy for him.
Also, we remember many films and the predictability towards the climax, draggy narrative, ineffective scenes dilute the impact. Makers tried to pack the first hour with lighter moments and second with heavier but the movie needed a proper balance and even effective scenes. Overall, movie falters and stutters at many places throughout Junior’s journey.
Bottomline:
Too Heavy for a debutant and ineffective sans dedicated efforts of Kireeti.
Rating: 2.5/5
