Power is a Tollywood action film directed by K. S. Ravindra and produced by Rockline Venkatesh starring Ravi Teja, Hansika Motwani, Regina Cassandra, Mukesh Rishi.
The film is about a Tirupathi guy who wants to be a police officer but it seems like this dream will never come true but his fate got few plans for him. He’s going to catch a criminal as a police officer soon and the story builds around this and Baldev’s truth.
Ravi Teja never went wrong when he’s in his great form but in this film, Power here’s a catch. The story here is bogged down by the burden of various subplots that tries to carry. The second half of the film lacks steam even though it has few best shots of the film.
Ravi Teja enters as Tirupathi who is a happy go lucky kind of guy who dreams to become a police officer in his life and he lives with his brother-in-law. He steps into his shoes to live his dream for short time period. One day the home minister of West Bengal asks him to visit Kolkata and pretend to be as ACP Baldev Sahay. He gets to know that both look very similar and this step by him leads Tirupathi through various twists and turns.
Power gives ample scope to the hero to flex the muscles. He brought the roof down with gags. The seriousness he shows in both the characters is covered in most of the part of the film. It’s really great to watch Ravi Teja as a serious cop like he did in Vikramarkudu. A drawback is it’s tad too formulaic till the climax. The two lead actresses Hansika and Regina got very little to offer this film. Their roles got wasted. Both Saptagiri and Sampath in very short screen time stole the show while Brahmanandam found doing the same like he used to do in other films.
Like you assume, the first half of the film is entertaining while the second half is on Ravi Teja’s shoulders to carry it well with his power packed performance. The climax is yet again a disappointment since it’s quite regular and you can easily guess it. Film also seems longer than required.
Verdict: In short Power is like a mixed fruit juice with known ingredients. You might know what the film may have but still enjoyable with Ravi Teja’s performance.
