Joru Telugu Movie
Sadasivam (Sayaji Shinde) is a three time MLA in Vishakapatnam. His daughter, Anu (Raashi Khanna) studies in abroad and comes to India to visit her father after 16 years. Due to some issue, her flight from Hyderabad to Vishakapatnam gets cancelled and she decides to take a cab. On her way, she meets Sundeep (Sundeep Kishan). All of sudden, strange murder attempts begin to take place on Anu and Sundeep keeps saving her. Rest of the story is about if Anu reaches her father and how Sundeep fits in the story between the father and daughter.
Sundeep Kishan's role do not offer any variety and is almost a carbon copy of the roles he played in the past and his performance is good. Raashi Khanna is charming and does a good job in acting too. Sushma Raj made a mark with her oomph and a bit of acting. Priya Banerjee gets a very limited screen space and is overshadowed by the other two ladies. Brahmanandham manages to bring in good laughs as PK- Pelli Koduku. Sapathagiri failed to impress for the first time while Ajay and Prudhvi were wasted. Sayaji Shinde is good in the role mixed with comedy and seriousness.
There are very few directors who get a second chance after the failure of their first. Kumar Nagendra is such lucky guy but he completed spilled the golden chance. The director has got very weak narration which disrupts the audience even before the first half an hour of the film and slowly it goes wayward and the second half totally goes haywire and ends with a stupid climax.
Bheems Ceciroleo managed to give two hummable tunes while the rerecording is totally average. MR Palaanikumar made a mishap with the camera with too many closeup shots and slow motion sequences. Editing work by SR Sekkhar is totally sloppy and some good chopping would have done more good to the film. Production Values are fine.
Finally, Joru which projects itself a Rom-Com neither portrays the romance well neither has worked comedy. The audience totally feel disconnected to the people moving on the screen and feel lost very soon. Give it a miss!!
