Krack is a film aimed at the masses, with Gopichand Malineni trying his best to pack in every element that can excite the mass audience. Massa biryani is Tollywood’s first ministry to entertainment film lovers.

What is it about?

Shankar (Ravi Teja) looks like an ordinary policeman, but he can become extremely dangerous to the bad guys if he is rubbed on the wrong side. Katari Srinu (Samuthirakani) does exactly that and Krack is all about how the bad guy realizes his biggest mistake.

Performing:

Playing a powerful policeman is not new to Ravi Teja, who played Vikram Rathod, one of the most powerful cops ever seen on Telugu Screen. In Krack, there is a mixture of entertainment besides the cruelty of a since policeman. Ravi Teja is past his best time but there are some flashes of his old self that will please masses. Shruti Haasan looks artificial from the start and it seems to be a deliberate ploy to make a certain scene work. Samuthirakani is playing a regular Telugu cinema villain and he’s okay. Ravi Shankar plays a bad thing but is entertaining. Saptagiri did not get the chance to make his mark. Varalakshmi plays a character similar to her previous outings.

Techniques:

Gopichand Malineni’s work seems clumsy at first. In fact, the entire first half appears to be a collage of random scenes. Over time it gets better and fortunately he did not try to deviate from the core point after the break. Gopichand Malineni is good at handling masala films, but he shows a new side to him in Krack, especially in anticipation of the breathtaking action episodes.

Thaman’s background music is sometimes shocking and loud, but his songs are energetic and in tune with the masala stuff with which the film is loaded. Cinematography is fantastic. Fighters should be commended for putting together these brilliant action series. The run could have been short as it gets sluggish in the second half. Production values ​​are very good.

Highlights:

Ravi Teja’s performance

My action scenes

Masala things

Cons:

Senseless first half

Dated treatment

Loudness

Analysis:

Krack is a film aimed at the masses from the beginning. The first shot on a raw mango, a nail and a fifty rupee note looks unintentionally funny and the whole film revolves around the three objects. These three random things play a big role in the lives of three bad guys who face similar fate at the hands of a sincere police officer. Director tries too hard at first to give fun at the performances, but most of these scenes will make the viewers cringe.

Ravi Teja is certainly not at his best, especially not in the comedy scenes. These so-called comedy scenes were therefore only useful as the fillers. Things start to get interesting after one police officer is brutally murdered. Interruption scene is routine, but will excite the masses with Thaman’s pulsating background score and Ram Lakshman’s action choreography enhancing it.

Gopichand does not try to put in powerful comedy after this point. He never tries to switch to the entertainment mode in the second half and simply focuses on the confrontations of the hero and villain. Not every scene is clicked, but some scenes will surely work with the masses, and some may find it completely stupid. Things get dragged too much towards the end with so many unnecessary fights and hard scenes for the sake of elevating the hero.

It is a film aimed at the festival masses, with very well choreographed fights, energetic songs and good scenes. It’s a commercial thing where the logic and sensitivity is on the back seat. It would have been just another masala pot kettle in the pre-covid era, but that might just be enough for the masala craving audience who is patient enough to wait an entire day to see a movie in theaters look.

In short: Commercial package!
