Mass Jathara Movie Review
Telugu360 Rating: 2/5
Mass Maharaj Ravi Teja is quite habitual of doing mass commercial films which banks on heroism, songs, action episodes along with a strong antagonist. Dhamaka has been his biggest hit and the actor is trying his luck with a similar format film titled Mass Jathara. Bhanu Bhogavarapu is making his directorial debut and Sreeleela is the heroine. Suryadevara Naga Vamsi is the producer of this mass entertainer and Bheems composed the music. Mass Jathara released today and here is the review of the film:
Story:
Lakshman Bheri (Ravi Teja) is a Railway cop who is aggressive in his Profession. In a limited service, he gets many transfers. He takes charge in a village named Adavipuram. There is a ruthless goon Sivudu (Naveen Chandra), a ganja smuggler in the region. He is completely focused on his business and goes to any extent for his survival. Lakshman turns a barrier when Sivudu plans of sending a big consignment to Kolkata. The rest of Mass Jathara is all about the battle between Lakshman Bheri and Sivudu and what happens next forms the real story of Mass Jathara.
Analysis:
From the plot, Mass Jathara feels like a predictable and routine concept. But the writing and a gripping execution can do wonders with such concepts. Vikramarkudu has a routine concept but the heroism, elevations and narration makes a lot of difference. But Mass Jathara fails to make an impact with the narration and the film falls flat. Writer turned director Bhanu Bhogavarapu is making his directorial debut with Mass Jathara. Everyone predicts that he will come out with his best script but the film offers nothing. The audience will be left surprised what made Ravi Teja sign the film and what made the producers invest big money on Mass Jathara.
Ravi Teja impressed the audience as a cop several times in the past. But this time, he plays a Railway Cop. Any Railway police has his own limitations and restrictions. To bring heroism, the director has dragged so many things that are out of the control of a railway cop. Sreeleela’s role is horrible and she plays a teacher in Mass Jathara. She sells ganja which is a surprise. There is a backstory about why the heroine sells ganja in Mass Jathara and it is not convincing.
The character of Sivudu is introduced in the most ruthless manner. There are several logics that miss badly and the confrontation episodes between the lead actor and the antagonist are silly. The hero’s grandfather’s (Rajendra Prasad) role is poorly written and these episodes are completely irritating. Bhanu Bhogavarapu fails badly as a writer and a director with Mass Jathara. Some of the episodes are completely outdated and remind us of the films in the 80s. Some of the characters introduced during the climax too fail to make any impact. Some of the action stunts are inspired from Pushpa 2: The Rule. The songs and the action stunts too are unimpressive.
Performances:
Mass Jathara is the 75th film of Ravi Teja. There is nothing new in the role of Lakshman Bheri and his performance offers nothing new. He performed well in his own style. Some of the vintage moments from his past films are used in Mass Jathara but they won’t impress Ravi Teja’s fans. Sreeleela’s role is poorly written and it is horrible. She spoke in Srikakulam dialect but it hardly made any impact. Rajendra Prasad’s role is irritating. Naveen Chandra fits well in the role of the lead antagonist and he delivered his best. Hyper Aadhi’s comic episodes did not work and all the other actors had nothing new to offer.
Bheems fails with the music album completely. He attempted a new background score for Mass Jathara but they are loud and they could not elevate the film. Bhanu Bhogavarapu failed badly as a writer and as a director completely. The screenplay and dialogues are completely outdated. The production values of Sithara Entertainments are good but Mass Jathara is completely pale and outdated in all aspects. Ravi Teja tries his best to save this predictable and outdated mass film but the film falls flat.
