It is a film that mostly delivers on what it promises. For once, we have a film that does not betray its own trailer and for once we have a film where the camera does not behave like Gandhiji’s three monkeys. Considering Bollywood standards, it can be called a slasher movie with gonzo violence. It is one of RGV’s better works in recent times but that does not mean that it breaks new grounds. The problem here is that, unfortunately Paritala Ravi’s real life story is very similar to that of Godfather (or Sarkar or Rajneeti for that matter). So, the basic plot is always burdened with a sense of déjà vu which is never a desirable trait for any film.
