Dhamaka

Ravi Teja gets to play mass & class roles, the only he knows to enact. SreeLeela gets to showcase her dancing skills. Jayaram gets to play the dumb villain while Sachin Khedekar gets to play the rich helpless dad and Tanikella Bharani plays the same role he has been playing for decades. Then there is Rao Ramesh for the sake of forced comedy scenes because he is known to pull them off on his own. The makers know well that a plausible story is the last thing they want in their commercial potboiler. Just a couple of dance numbers, an half a dozen fight scenes are the other known main ingredients of this masala fare.

Needless to say there is nothing to talk about the story and the screenplay, irrespective of how illogical it is. Even if you don't nitpick on it, this rehashed AVPL, barely entertains. Every time a silly comedy scene carries the movie forward, comes an even sillier scene to elevate the hero. The twists make as much sense as the explanation for Ravi Teja's dual characters - Swami and Anand. With routine action blocks, Ravi Teja lives upto his title to give it his all for this role to entertain. But there is only so much of Ravi Teja madness one can tolerate in such mindless films.
