V Movie Review : To begin with it is a film that focuses on two characters Nani and Sudheer Babu. One who is a killer (Nani) who cherishes the act of killing and staying mysterious which send the cops in to a tizzy, sleepless nights. The other a tough cop Sudheer Babu ( DCP Adiya) who is given the task to stop this killer struggling to find a motive behind the killing spree.
V Movie Review in one word – A cat and mouse chase between Nani Vishnu – a serial killer and Aditya ( Sudheer Babu) the tough cop.
Time is fast running out and no matter how hard he tries, the killer is always a step ahead of him. Will he nail him down?
What we find new about Nani is that he is playing out a serial killer, who might yearn for sympathy for what he is doing. He does well too in the character he plays out.
In V Movie , Telugu Movie , Mohana brings a familiar plot with good twists. Nani’s V -The hero might be a trained killer, but he would prefer not to take a life if it is not absolutely necessary. The director establishes this strong trait of the hero in well shot action scene set in the backdrop of Kashmir. The rescue operation stands out, Vishnu clams down the nerves of a teenage terrorist and stops him from exploding a bomb, which keeps the audience hooked. Instead of slitting the young terrorist’s throat, he gives him a shoulder to vent.
The scenes where Vishnu plays a cat-and-mouse game with his fellow travellers are particularly fascinating. However, Mohana doesn’t show an equal amount of love for other key characters, including Sudheer Babu’s Vivek Krishna. The director drastically undercuts the weight of the supercop character to benefit Nani’s highly intelligent killer.
The story gets energy when Nani appears on screen. In the first scene you are introduced to him as an unpredictable character, whose ability to get into the head of people around. He frightens them out with his jokes, and he stays calm no matter what. Nani pulls this off well, and his occasional conversations with Babu, who is earnest in his role, are reasonably well written.
Nivetha Thomas, a crime novelist just comes in as a romantic piece, nothing significant barring the director gives her the strong point that he conversation with DCP gives him some insight and direction to the case.
It is a movie for Nani fans. It is a familiar cop-serial killer story, with some twists that you might enjoy as you watch the movie. Watch V Movie in Amazon Prime.
