Helmed by Kollywood Hit-maker Linguswamy, the bilingual movie “The Warriorr” marks Ram’s debut in the Tamil film Industry. Also, to come out of the chocolate boy image, Ram is checking his luck as a mass hero with back-to-back action flicks in Tollywood. Let us see whether ‘The Warriorr’ gives Ram a needed debut in Kollywood as well as a needed Mass image in Tollywood.
Story:
The story starts with Satya (Ram) joining as a doctor in Kurnool. And, very soon he starts seeing a few deaths because of a dreaded gangster called Guru (Aadhi Pinisetty). He tries to go against Guru but fails badly. Left with no choice, he leaves Kurnool. But after two years, Satya changes track and turns into a cop to take revenge on Guru. How did a doctor become a cop? How he faced Guru for the second time forms the crux of the story.
What’s Entertaining & What’s Boring:
Despite the same old story and narration, ‘The Warriorr’ has some decent actors and performances. Aadi Pinisetty’s flashback and his action top the plus points in the film. Also, Ram’s energetic action both as a doctor and Police steals the show. The second half first half-an-hour is engaging.
But director Linguswamy, who is known for his past mass-outings, failed totally in ‘The Warriorr’. The Warriorr story is something we have seen for years on the large screen. It just goes on like a bad man in Kurnool who does bad, and Then a good man arrives who does good. Now, the good man tries to stop the bad things being done by the bad man, and a clash starts between the two.
Finally, the good man wins. The only extra layer included was the Doctor becoming a police officer. However, even this point is not very new. In Fact, this point looks a bit exaggerated in the film. Linguswamy’s handling went wrong in both halves.
The editing could have been crisp in the first half. The film also runs out of ideas and repeated scenes in the second half make the audience more annoyed than engaging.
Performance of Cast & Crew:
Ram steals the show as usual with his energetic performance. He is very good in his mass Cop avatar. Though Ismart Shankar and Red have been mass flicks for Ram, his look in The Warriorr dominates both of his past action movies. He also looks cool in a doctor role. Great applause to Aashi Pinisetty. He is someone who makes the movie interesting when there is nothing much to offer. Except for the last few minutes, Kriti Sheety doesn’t gain any prominence in the film. Nadhiya has done decently in her limited role. Akshara Gowda hardly had two to three scenes.
The production values stand as the biggest positive of the film. Devi Sri Prasad once again has done a great job with his BGM. More than the story, it is BGM that saves the film. The camera work is up to the mark, and the editing could have been a lot better.
First Half & Second Half:
First Half has nothing but a path to the Second Half. The first half just introduces the characters and narrates the Villain’s flashback. Also, the love track in the first half is not very impressive. The second half is from the core plot. However, as the plot is pencil-thin, we feel bored when the scenes repeat the hero and villain’s routine revenge scenes. Even the climax part looks like we have seen it plenty of times.
Impressive:
Ram Mass Avatar
Aadhi Pinisetty
Music & BGM
Unimpressive:
Story Line
Boring narration
‘The IBC News’ take on The Warriorr:
The Warriorr is the same old wine in a new bottle. Even not in a new bottle, but an old bottle with some new name. It’s just the Ram and Aadhi performances, blended with DSP rocking BGM, that make you engaged to some extent.
