What Is the Film About?
Giri is an orphan and his dream is to have a lovely wife and a family. With such a mind he helps find missing people and unite them with their families.
Giri meets Shailaja and they instantly connect and later marry. They have a supportive group in their colony.
One day, Giri gets a call from locally influential powerful goon Konda Reddy to find his missing relative. Who is the missing person? What happens as a result is the movie’s basic story.
Performances
Raj Tharun plays a non-heroic regular boy next door kind of role for most of the film. In fact, he let’s heroine have an action scene initially while staying behind. Apart from this minor change in characterisation, everything else is the same.
The typical comedy timing of Raj Tharun comes into play during the second half, and later, we see him return to his usual form.
Malvi Malhotra is the female lead. She gets a bubbly heroine part that looks to dominate hero initially but soon is relegated to backseat. Malvi is okay when she gets the chance to have some fun.
Mannara Chopra plays an aggressive negative character. However, she mistakes aggressiveness for overaction and hams it up like there is no tomorrow. Whenever she is on screen, decibels automatically increase so much that they drown the main villain’s voice. Suffice it to say, we haven’t seen this much overacting in recent times.
Analysis
AS Ravikumar Chowdary, who once directed Yagnam and Pilla Nuvvu Leni Jeevitham, directs Tiragabadara Saami. It is an outdated story with nothing in it resembling current sensibilities.
Right from the start the sense of outdatedness prevails. Be it in the presentation or the content, the narrative screams archaic.
If one has seen the trailer the interest in the movie is lost within the first half an hour. The setup of the world and the story takeoff makes it clear where it’s headed. There is absolutely no surprise at all.
What is even more terrible is that the movie comes to the intermission with barely any progress in the story. Just when something related to the main thread happens, we are at the interval mark.
Post intermission we expect some tension and drama to arrive, however outdated it might be, but even that’s not the case here.
There is an absolute dud comedy track that would have been old, even a couple of decades back, thrown in to fill the narrative. It goes on and on, and then we reach the expected climactic portions.
Again, there is hardly any surprise left if one has seen the trailer. Even if not, one knows what is supposed to happen, and things happen precisely that way.
Overall, Tiragabadara Saami is an outdated tale not just for the current times. It would have been the same if it came a couple of decades ago. If Raj Tharun’s last week’s movie was a decade-old one, this one is from even before that. Stay away.
Performances by Others Actors
There are a bunch of actors who play different cliche supporting parts that amount to nothing. We have Raja Ravindra playing a Mutton Kottu Mastan, Pragati a flower seller, Prithvi a pundit and so on. Everyone represents routine character tropes individually and collectively as well.
Music and Other Departments?
JB and Bhole Shavali’s music is forgettable. The songs act like speed breakers even in such a short duration. The background score doesn’t help the cause either. Technically, the movie is weak, with cinematography adding to the outdated vibe and editing making things look rushed. The writing is below par.
