The Tamil Nadu and Kerala Rashrta government awards, as well as the National Award for choreography, were given to Vrinda for her second film, Thags. This critically acclaimed Vrinda secondary yatanga starring Hridu Haroon in Telugu and Tamil is Dulker Salman’s first movie. Let’s wait and watch how Konasima Thugs, a Telugu movie, does on Friday among viewers.
Story
Unexpected events cause Seshu (Hridhu Haroon) to wind up in the Kakinada district jail. There, he meets Madhu and Dhora. With the aid of a few other prisoners, Seshu, Dhora, and Madhu intend to escape the prison. Why did Seshu desire to be released from prison? Did he and the other prisoners manage to escape? Who are Dhora and Madhu, exactly? What is their history? Arose any problems along the process? Konaseema Thugs knows the answers.
After the failure of Hey Sinamika, renowned choreographer-turned-director Brinda makes a comeback with a movie that contrasts sharply with her first. After watching Konaseema Thugs, one can question whether Brinda actually directed the film. Well, she was the director and she astounded everyone with her abilities.
The storyline of Shibu Thameens is somewhat predictable, but the creative writing keeps it interesting. Young actor Hridhu Haroon receives the most of the screen time. He portrays a lover who will go to any limit for his love admirably. His persona and sincere performance are among the movie’s highlights.
The performance of Bobby Simha is well-known. Like in every movie, he receives a nice role. He puts his best in the role of an older prisoner and expertly assists Hridhu throughout the movie.
A pleasant sight in this suspenseful action thriller is Munishkanth. He has excellent comic timing and makes the audience laugh even when the movie is serious. The two performers, Sarath Appani and RK Suresh, gave great performances in their roles.
The choreography and action moves are quite realistic. The people responsible for such emotional moments ought to be acknowledged for their superb work. The use of cameras and background music increased the tension in the scenes. The outstanding dubbing creates the sense that you are seeing a Telugu-only movie.
Our Review
Situations involving prison breaks are not frequently seen in Telugu movies. Even though we are aware that we are rooting for the perpetrators’ conviction and that the majority of the applaud-worthy events are wrong, we like the mayhem captured on tape. Thugs maintains its commitment to the genre and holds the audience’s interest despite its flaws.
We have a hard time adjusting to their reality after the lengthy first setup. Yet when it occurs, everyday situations turn into scenes you’d anticipate from a popular artist.
An adaptation of the 2018 Malayalam film Swathanthryam Ardharathriyil, Thugs is directed by Brinda. Similar to the original, Brinda has produced a technically excellent image that gives viewers an exciting experience in the second half. The jailbreak scenario is beautifully performed, with some interesting frame compositions, especially when Sethu is being followed by a group of police officers near the conclusion.
The early setting and conflicts are also established in great detail by the director. The “realism” that comes with this kind is diminished by an excessive number of speed ramps and slow motions in the early going. We have trouble empathising with the main characters, who long to be released from prison, which is another fault. Despite the difficulties they face inside the prison, their intentions are not clear enough for us to support them. The performers and the choreography of the stunt scenes in the climactic sections are two things we can’t criticise. Sam CS’s background music is potent enough to draw attention to particular moments and feelings.
The audience is riveted the entire time thanks to Hridhu Haroon’s captivating performance and ideal look for the part. Although he dominates the bulk of his co-stars in the image, it doesn’t seem to be his acting debut. There are a few lighter moments in the second half thanks to Munishkanth’s one-liners. Dramatic and adding to the story is RK Suresh’s portrayal as a menacing police officer. Bobby Simhaa has given everything he has. Nonetheless, the movie does not have as much violence in it as the trailer and first-look poster promised. In the end, Thugs is a film that audiences should watch in theatres because of its superior technical quality and the genre it explores.
