Dhamaka Review: In one sentence – Despite Ravi Teja’s charisma, the movie lacks the Dhamaka to succeed – Ravi Teja is doing what he does best, as seen by Dhamaka. He is completely committed to his character and the role he plays best comedy and action. He brings good comic timing, and delivers effective punches.
The movie is about a teenage lady named Pavani (SreeLeela) who falls in love with a street-smart man named Swamy. However, Swamy’s lookalike is actually the son of a wealthy businessman who owns a company in Vizag. A few colleagues attempt to get rid of him as he prepares to take over as the company’s new CEO, and Swamy becomes embroiled in the ensuing chaos.
In Dhamaka, director Trinadha Rao Nakkina had a few clever ideas up his sleeve, but they don’t seem to excite you as much as the director would have expected from his audience. You are not fully engrossed in the story because the narrative follows a predictable plot line.
The story is about two young men with comparable appearances who come from distinct backgrounds are Anand and Swamy (Ravi Teja in two roles). Anand is the successor of Chakravarthy’s (Sachin Khedekar) People Mart business, which he refers to as an empire.
With barely two months to live, Chakravarthy due to a terminal ill diagnosis. Trouble arises in the form of businessman JP because he “wants to die joyfully and successfully” (Jayaram). In the meantime, Pranavi (Sree Leela) falls in love with Swamy but is perplexed by his resemblance. In what way are Anand and Swamy connected? Will Chakravarthy fulfil his wish?
Dhamaka starts off on a dismal note. Trinadha Rao Nakkina deserves praise for the twist in the middle of the commercial potboiler that made everyone sit up and pay attention.
Watch Dhamaka – made for Ravi Teja Fans
Ravi Teja is doing what he does best, as seen by Dhamaka, and it is a film cut for him. The soundtrack by Bheems Ceciroleo tries to keep the movie moving and conceal its flaws, but music cannot make up for a movie with a weak plot.
However, several of the action stretches and scenes with the villains are stale and don’t add anything fresh. In both of his roles, Ravi Teja is Dhamaka’s heart and soul. As Pranavi, Sree Leela put up a remarkable performance. She has adorable facial expressions, and her dances light up the room. The characters were played by Sachin Khedekar, Jayaram, Tanikella Bharani, and Rao Ramesh. Everyone laughed out loud at Hyper Aadi’s fantastic one-liners.
Dhamaka lacks an all around entertainment, barring the brilliance of Ravi Teja
The plot in Dhamaka, which mostly lacks substance, relies on Ravi Teja’s performance to make up for its shortcomings. The story’s progression is similarly erratic, and the movie itself isn’t sure whether it wants to be a comedy-entertainer or a serious drama. The end result was a strange mixture of Ravi Tejaisms spanning almost two hours. The first half of Dhamaka comes to an exhilarating conclusion with a significant surprise, but this hope is short-lived. The filmmaker runs out of ideas, which prevents the tale from progressing. He employs comedy and songs as fillers to make up for these pauses and lengthen the presentation. Even the “mass” picture formula is ineffective in the absence of a compelling antagonist.
Dhamaka will certainly strike chord with Ravi Teja Fans. Only.
