Story
Nookayya who is known as Mr.Nokia (Manoj) is a mobile theif. But at certain point he decides to quit everything, rob a big sum and settle down in life. In this process, he meets Anu (Kriti), whom he discovers is carrying Rs. 2 crores with her. Nookayya steals this amount from Anu. Later he comes to know with various sources that Anu’s husband has been kidnapped and this amount carried by Anu is to give away to the kidnappers. The rest of the story is followed how Nookayya rectifies his mistake and solves all of them.
Analysis :
Mr. Nokia storyline is surely exciting. The characterization of hero and his goal has an uncanny resemblance to Allu Arjun’s Cable Seenu track in Vedam movie. Despite having a solid story, the director faltered with the screenplay. First half of the movie is not up to the mark. Only the interval point is good up to some extent.
Second half too starts on a dull note and turns in to a road film. Hero heroines take road journey for most part of the second hour. The film has been dragged a bit in this part. Few scenes clicked and sustained the interest. There are few twists thrown in to the narrative towards the end and they are fine.
Performance :
Manchu Manoj is a powerhouse of energy. He has done fabulous job as Nookayya. His dances are rocking and so are his fights. He does complete justice to his title ‘Rocking star’. He shoulders the film right from the word go and is definitely on the right track to become a bankable star.
Kriti Kharbanda is sweet and Sana Khan showcased the required glamour in the film. Their performances are okay. Brahmanandam is funny in a small role. Vennela Kishore is strictly Okay. Murali Sharma is loud. Ahuti Prasad and others did a fine job.
Yuvan Shankar Raja used most of his compositions from Tamil and the music is okay to good. Background score bears Yuvan’s stamp. Action sequences, the chase sequences in particular that were choreographed by Manoj are energetic and keep you on the edge of the seat. Dialogues by Lakshmi Bhupal are good. Rest all departments such as Editing and Cinematography add on to the worth of the film. The story and the screenplay by Ani is good to be considered but a lot more could have added for the film to make more interesting.
Final Word 'Mr. Nookayya', a good attempt.. one time watch though!
