From a long time, there is buzz everywhere that a film is being made where Superstar Mahesh Babu will be kidnapped. Titled “Superstar Kidnap” the film deals with aspirations of three youngsters whose aim to grow richer by kidnapping a super star. Let’s see how it is.
The CONTENT
Nandu (Nandu) gets broke up with his girlfriend Priya (Poonam Kaur) and finds that she is cheating on him with Jai (Adarsh). Bhupal (Bhupal) is an aspiring director who wishes to narrate a movie script to Mahesh Babu through Jai. Circumstances make Jai, Nandu and Bhupal involve in a drug scandal and they have to make 50 lakhs money in no time to escape from dons Pattal Ravi (Fish Venkat) and Farah Khan (Shradda Das). When Vennela Kishore joins them, then things get much worse. What happens next is the story of comedy and errors we have to watch on silver screen.
The EFFORT :
On-Screen:
Actors Nandu, Bhupal and Adarsh are all seasonal with not so depth in acting, but maintained decent comedy timing. While there are some good scenes, the way director conceived it made them flat, further these actors did half-job leaving blemishes all over. Poonam Kaur is there no shell some hotness, but that succeeded partly. Shradda Das as Farah Khan tries to impress very forcibly. Vennela Kishore is the top of all, as he entertains everyone with trademark comedy. Posani is okay but his best rested in caravan only, never turned up on screen.
Off-Screen:
Director Sushant Reddy, a debutante, has got a better script to narrate with some good screenplay in hand. But what looks absurd is the way he directed the scenes. Definitely this is a script that needs better treatment. Otherwise, he has narrated a nice comedy entertainer that entertains you thoroughly, but forgets to make you remember laugh like anything.
Cinematographer Eeshwar did a pretty average job. Many scenes would have got elevation if he has come up with interesting camera angles and light play. Mood in certain scenes got killed due to poor cinematography. Though there are budget constraints, his efforts doesn’t look justified.
Sai Karthik, the composer, has done a fantastic job as he upped the intense factor in the move with his rock music. He is the biggest saving grace when visuals are clichéd and direction is rather weak.
The PLUSES:
· First half narration
· Vennela Kishore in second half
· Background score
The MINUSES:
Lack of songs
Bad visuals (maybe due to poor budget)
BREAKDOWN:
Director Sushant Reddy has no doubt came up with a fantastic script, but the movie struggles a little at the execution part. The idea of a producer’s son trying to kidnap Mahesh Babu looks somewhat convincing, and where these guys end up finally is utter comedy. Some logic and decent direction would have added ‘scoring’ elements.
First half is where the film has immense narrative speed. As the three main characters of Jai, Nandu and Bhupal are introduced, one feels quite connected with them. We understand that everyone is inter-dependent on the other. At the same time, these three are enemies, but the way a crisis unites them is awesome. And their three master plans to kidnap Mahesh are not that great but there is believability. What goes for a toss is second half.
As the director tried to create a confusion comedy by rotating the kidnapped star between various villains and police making no attempt to catch a kidnapped star is somewhat logic less. Somehow when the characters are realising their mistake, there is no way that they have realised in fully. At the same time, the way dens of villains is shown, doesn’t give any Goosebumps to audiences. Cameos of heroes like Nani and Manoj are good and lovely, but they are of no use to the movie.
Superstar Kindap will be impressive for A-class audiences who like these crime, kidnap and confusion comedy stories. For B-centres, the film will not be so lively because it sounds routine at a point. Forget about C-centres. For the kind of budget involved, maybe the producers will be able to recover their investment.
The FINISHING Line: Exciting Kidnap, Poor Planning.
RATING:2.75/5
