Siddhu Jonnalagadda’s Jack Review
Story:
Prominently Jack story revolves around a character named Pablo Neruda alias Jack ( Siddhu Jonnalagadda) a highly ambitious guy decides to join RAW as his priority is protecting country first. In the process, he gives an interview to the selection panel and assumes that he will get the job and gets on field to work on an operation along with a CI( character portrayed by Subbaraju). On the other hand, his father ( Prasad) hires a private detective agency named Khaja Mia( Brahmaji) to find out if any Jack’s bad intentions. This leads to an interaction with Afshan ( Vaishnavi Chaitanya) and RAW chief Manoj ( Prakash Raj). What is the operation is the RAW team in after? How will the things turns out to be crucial for Jack? Forms the rest of the proceedings.
Plus points:
As usual, Siddhu Jonnalagadda is superb in his role as a youngster, who loves to have some fun in life. His mannerisms are same as it in Tillu only thing changed in Jack was his slang. His dialogue delivery in neutral Telugu decation is good. Performance-wise, Siddhu Jonnalagadda did a better job.
Coming heroine Vaishav Chaitanya, she is glamorous in the movie. Acting- wise, she is decent in her role.
The first half of the film has a few funny moments which engages the audience and evokes decent laughs.
Minus points:
Director Bhaskar is the main culprit as his story lacks a proper depth in it. The screenplay lacks an engaging narrative. Especially, after the decent first half, things go out of the hands in the crucial second half.
The treatment itself is boring during the course of time. The second half needs a serious editing as it has many unwanted scenes.
Technical Department:
Coming to music, the songs composed by Achu Rajamani and Suresh Bobbili are decent but the background music by Sam CS is disappointing. It is too laud at times.
The cinematography work is good as the film has, some visuals throughout. The editing is not up to the mark.
The production values for this limited budget movie are grand and lavish. As above said, the direction work is a big minus for the project.
Verdict:
All in all, Jack has a passable first half and boring second half. If you like Siddhu Jonnalagadda’s, acting and his typical style of mannerisms, can give the film a try or else can easily skip it look at the alternative options at the box office during this weekend.
