Khatarnack review
Ravi, Illeana risk stardom with
crude 'Khatarnack' (REVIEW)
By B. Anuradha
Film: "Khatarnack"; Cast: Ravi Teja, Illeana, Biju Menon, Kota,
Prakash Raj, Venu Madhav, M. S. Narayana and Suman Shetty;
Director: Amma Rajsekar; Producer: B.V.S.N. Prasad; Music: M.M.
Keeravani
After watching "Khatarnack" many would believe that director
Amma Rajsekar's maiden hit "Ranam" was a fluke.
He has borrowed bits and pieces from films like "Mr. Socrates"
and "Mein Hoon Na" and incorporated it in "Khatarnack'. The
result is an unconvincing hotchpotch.
It is surprising that a shrewd producer like B.V.S.N. Prasad,
who made smashing hit "Chatrapati", approved this kind of
script.
After the success of "Vikramarkudu", a trite flick, action star
Ravi Teja seems to have become over-confident as he chooses
another mindless thriller.
His transition from a good-for-nothing guy into an idealistic
cop is poorly established. Probably, he is opting for scripts
that only showcase his typical mannerisms but the tactic can
rebound.
Illeana has been described as a sensational discovery after hits
like "Pokiri". But she puts her newfound stardom at stake by
playing a clichéd, glam-doll role.
Baddie Biju Menon tries hard to salvage a poorly conceived role,
while comedians Venu Madhav and his band manage to evoke a few
laughs.
Prakash Raj is wasted in a cop's role. Composer Keeravani
disappoints with an eminently forgettable album.
Perhaps choreographer-turned-director Rajsekar was in a hurry to
cash in on his "Ranam" success and made this film without any
planning and reparation.
He needs to hone up his skills to stay in the reckoning or he
will be forced to go back to choreography.
The story is about a street-smart aimless guy (Ravi). A don (Biju)
is on the lookout for someone who can be planted as a mole in
the police department.
He zeroes in on Ravi and enrolls him in 10th class in a school.
Predictably, the boy falls in love with his teacher (Illeana).
After passing out he becomes a traffic policeman. Watch the
film, if you want to know the rest.
