Ram
Directed by - N. Shankar Produced by - N. Sudhakar Reddy Music by - Yuvan Shankar Raja Casts - Nitin, Genelia Revenge is one of the basest of human emotions.Perhaps after love and friendship revenge is the most played out feeling in films.In the event, the well-intentioned efforts of Nitin, who is full of energy and enthusiasm, and the gamine charm of Genelia all go waste.The story is wafer thin.Ram, the eponymous hero, is a happy go lucky guy in Hyderabad.
He is an up coming cycle champion.A win in a competition takes him to the final round in Mumbai.But in Mumbai life pans out differently for him.He ends up with unravelling gritty knots of his family, especially that of his grandfather (Krishnam Raju).The granddad had been a do-gooder for the society but had been taken out by the baddies (Devraj and Jeeva).
They also have an eye on the old man's property.So our hero avenges all the killings and in the process also wins the hand of one of the baddie's daughters (Genelia).In the event, Nitin's vivacity and spirited dances all go in vain.Genelia looks cute and cuddly.Her role is limited.
Devraj and Jeeva as baddies go through the motions.Brahmanandam as a doctor is okay.Venu Madhva's comedy is in the so-so category.Yuvan's musical score does not get extra lift on the screen.His rerecording is pretty good.
But you cannot say the same thing to the efforts of the director Shanker.
