Dsp Movie - వాస్కోడిగామా క‌థ‌...

మునుస్వామి విజ‌య‌వాడ‌లో పూల వ్యాపారం చేస్తుంటాడు. కొడుకు వాస్కోడిగామాను (విజ‌య్ సేతుప‌తి) ప్ర‌భుత్వ ఉద్యోగిగా చూడాల‌న్న‌ది అత‌డి క‌ల‌. డిగ్రీ పూర్తి చేసిన వాస్కోడిగామా బ‌రువు బాధ్య‌త‌లు లేకుండా జులాయిగా తిరుగుతుంటాడు. గుడ్ల ర‌వి (బాహుబ‌లి ప్ర‌భాక‌ర్‌) పెద్ద రౌడీ. త‌న‌కు ఎదురుతిరిగిన వారిని చంపేస్తుంటాడు. ఓ గొడ‌వ‌లో గుడ్ల‌ర‌విని వాస్కోడిగామా కొడ‌తాడు. త‌న‌ను కొట్టిన‌ వాస్కోడిగామాను చంపుతాన‌ని గుడ్ల ర‌వి శ‌ప‌థం చేస్తాడు .

గుడ్ల ర‌వికి రాజ‌కీయ బ‌లం ఉండ‌టంతో అత‌డిని వాస్కోడిగామా ఏం చేయ‌లేక‌పోతాడు. గుడ్ల ర‌విని ఎదురించాలంటే త‌న‌కు ప‌వ‌ర్ ఉండాల‌ని భావించిన వాస్కోడిగామా పోలీస్ ఆఫీస‌ర్‌గా ఎంపికై తిరిగి విజ‌య‌వాడ‌లో అడుగుపెడ‌తాడు. ఆ త‌ర్వాత ఏం జ‌రిగింది? కామ‌న్ మ్యాన్‌గా చేయ‌లేని ప‌నిని పోలీస్‌గా వాస్కోడిగామా ఎలా పూర్తి చేశాడు? గుడ్ల ర‌వి కార‌ణంగా వాస్కోడిగామా కుటుంబం ఎలాంటి క‌ష్టాల్ని ఎదుర్కొన్న‌ది? అన్న‌పూర్ణ‌ను (అనుకృతి వాస్‌) ప్రేమించిన వాస్కోడిగామా ఆమెను పెళ్లి చేసుకున్నాడా లేదా అన్న‌దే డీఎస్‌పీ సినిమా(Dsp Movie Telugu Review) క‌థ‌.

మూస ఫార్ములా…

అధికారం, ప‌లుకుబ‌డి ఉన్న‌ ప‌వ‌ర్‌ఫుల్ రౌడీని కామ‌న్ మ్యాన్ ఎదురించ‌డం అనే కాన్సెప్ట్ బ్లాక్ అండ్ వైట్ సినిమాల కాలం నుంచి ఉంది. ఈ ఫ‌క్తు క‌మ‌ర్షియ‌ల్ కాన్సెప్ట్‌ను అన్ని కోణంలో వాడేశారు మ‌న డైరెక్ట‌ర్లు. అయినా కొంద‌రు ద‌ర్శ‌కులు మాత్రం ఇప్ప‌టికీ ఈ మూస ఫార్ములాను న‌మ్ముకొనే సినిమాలు చేస్తున్నారు. డీఎస్‌పీ ఆ కోవ‌కు చెందిన సినిమానే.

విజ‌య్ ఇమేజ్‌...

ఫ్యామిలీ ఎమోష‌న్స్‌కు క‌మ‌ర్షియ‌ల్ హంగుల‌ను జ‌త చేస్తూ ద‌ర్శ‌కుడు పొన్‌రామ్ డీఎస్‌పీ క‌థ‌ను రాసుకున్నాడు. క‌థ కంటే విజ‌య్ సేతుప‌తికి మాస్ ప్రేక్ష‌కుల్లో ఉన్న ఇమేజ్‌ను న‌మ్ముకొని ద‌ర్శ‌కుడు ఈసినిమాను రూపొందించిన‌ట్లుగా అనిపిస్తుంది. డీఎస్‌పీ(Dsp Movie Telugu Review) కోసం ద‌ర్శ‌కుడు రాసుకున్న క‌థ, స్క్రీన్‌పై ఫ్యామిలీ బాండింగ్ సీన్స్ చూస్తుంటే ఎప్పుడో ప‌దేళ్ల క్రితం సినిమా తీసి ఇప్పుడు రిలీజ్ చేసిన ఫీలింగ్ క‌లుగుతుంది. విజ‌య్ సేతుప‌తి, అనుకీర్తి వాస్ ల‌వ్ ట్రాక్ చికాకును తెప్పిస్తుంది.

సెన్సాఫ్ హ్యూమ‌ర్‌...

కుటుంబ‌మే ప్రాణంగా బ‌తికే యువ‌కుడిగా విజ‌య్ సేతుప‌తి క్యారెక్ట‌ర్‌ను ప‌రిచ‌యం చేస్తూ సినిమాను(Dsp Movie Telugu Review) మొద‌లుపెట్టారు ద‌ర్శ‌కుడు. ఓ వైపు ఫ్యామిలీ ఎపిసోడ్స్‌, మ‌రోవైపు విల‌న్ అరాచ‌కాల‌తో ఫ‌స్ట్ హాఫ్ మొత్తాన్ని న‌డిపించాడు. గుడ్ల ర‌విని వాస్కోడిగామా ఎదురించే సీన్‌తోనే సినిమా ఆస‌క్తిక‌రంగా మారుతుంది. అప్ప‌టివ‌ర‌కు సామాన్యుడిగా ఉన్న వాస్కోడిగామా పోలీస్‌గా మారే సీన్‌తో ఇంట్రెస్ట్ క్రియేట్ చేశారు డైరెక్ట‌ర్‌. కానీ విల‌న్‌ను దెబ్బ‌తీయ‌డానికి హీరో వేసే ఎత్తుల‌తో సెకండాఫ్ ఎంగేజింగ్‌గా సాగుతుంద‌ని ఆశించిన ప్రేక్ష‌కుల‌కు నిరాశే మిగిల్చారు ద‌ర్శ‌కుడు. కామెడీ పోలీసుల‌తో విజ‌య్ సేతుప‌తి చేసే హంగామా న‌వ్వించ‌దు. ఆ సీన్స్ మొత్తం ఆడియెన్స్‌ స‌హ‌నానికి ప‌రీక్ష పెడ‌తాయి. క్లైమాక్స్ యాక్ష‌న్ సీన్‌లో డైరెక్ట‌ర్ త‌న సెన్సాఫ్ హ్యూమ‌ర్ చూపించాల‌ని ప్ర‌య‌త్నించి బోల్తా ప‌డ్డాడు.

పోలీస్ ఆఫీస‌ర్‌గా...

డీఎస్‌పీ సినిమాలో మిడిల్ క్లాస్‌ యువ‌కుడిగా, పోలీస్ ఆఫీస‌ర్‌గా డిఫ‌రెంట్ షేడ్స్ క్యారెక్ట‌ర్‌లో విజ‌య్ సేతుప‌తి క‌నిపించాడు. కామెడీతో పాటు ఎమోష‌న్స్‌కు ఇంపార్టెన్స్ ఉన్న క్యారెక్ట‌ర్‌ను ఈజీగా చేసేశాడు. అత‌డు త‌ప్ప సినిమాలో మిగిలిన క్యారెక్ట‌ర్ ఏవి ఆక‌ట్టుకోవు. హీరోయిన్ గురించి చెప్ప‌డానికి ఏం లేదు. కామెడీ పీస్‌లా మాత్ర‌మే క‌నిపిస్తుంది. విల‌న్‌గా బాహుబ‌లి ప్ర‌భాక‌ర్ న‌టించాడు. త‌మిళ నేటివిటీ కోసం అత‌డికి విగ్ పెట్టి చూపించిన విధానం బాగాలేదు.

Dsp Movie Telugu Review -విజ‌య్ ఫ్యాన్స్‌కు క‌ష్ట‌మే...

డీఎస్‌పీ విజ‌య్ సేతుప‌తి ఫ్యాన్స్‌ను కూడా మెప్పించ‌డం క‌ష్ట‌మే. థియేట‌ర్ల‌లో విడుద‌లైన నెల రోజుల్లోనే డీఎస్‌పీ ఓటీటీలోకి ఎందుకు వ‌చ్చింద‌న్న‌ది సినిమా చూసిన త‌ర్వాత ఈజీగా అర్థ‌మ‌వుతుంది.

DSP movie review: Vijay Sethupathi’s latest is as generic as it can get

Dsp movie review: vijay sethupathi's collaboration with ponram, who is known for jolly entertainers, has only yielded a bland and middling affair..

A few minutes into DSP, I knew we have all seen this film several times. It is the same old story about a formidable gangster in a small town giving purpose to a directionless protagonist by killing one or two of his beloved friends or family members. Vascodagama (Vijay Sethupathi) is ambitionless like the movie. With his father’s voluntary approval, he wanders around town and has a good time boozing on his uncle’s terrace with friends. Other times, he is seen ragging a neighborhood girl Annapoorni (Anukreethy Vas). It’s alright because she actually enjoys his attention. So, in a way, our villain, Mutta Ravi (Prabhakar) does a favor to the hero by killing his uncle which propels him to become a police officer. That’s why I like villains of such films because they are at least up to something. It’s one thing for the hero to not have a purpose and another for the film. But if it’s going to be just chronicles of this loafer, he better be doing something interesting.

Unfortunately, the film and the hero doesn’t do much till the interval. The conflict arrives only when Vascodagama embarrasses the villain by thrashing him in public. As Mutta Ravi is a formidable force for a middle-class person like our hero, Vascodagama goes into exile only to return as a cop. It’s not a problem if there’s no logic in a commercial entertainer, but here there’s no entertainment as well. The intended comedy sequences draw a blank. There are a few quirks that are interesting like the characterisation of Mutta Ravi for instance. His self-awareness and moral code coupled with an adequate performance from Prabhakar make him a well-rounded character.

On the other hand, Vascodagama doesn’t seem to have a distinguished personality. Like always, Vijay Sethupathi’s presence makes things bearable, but there is no edge to his character. I couldn’t help but compare the film with the actor’s Sethupathi (2016), which was also a cop drama. It was a great example of how a film, despite its generic storyline, can be enjoyable when it has a personality. Sethupathi worked because the protagonist had great character depth and the conflict was well-defined and immediate. In DSP, everything is loosely-written and we don’t invest our emotions. Hence, when the hero takes his revenge, we don’t get that catharsis.

The bigger problem with DSP is it doesn’t warrant the long runtime when Ponram is only repeating himself with some generic stuff like underwhelming songs and comedy sequences. Recently, Hollywood legend James Cameron said it’s okay to take bathroom breaks during his upcoming Avatar 2 as the film is too long. He said, “They can see the scene they missed when they come to see it again.” It applies to DSP as well, because like I said, we have seen this film in the past and we will see it again.

DSP Movie Review: Vijay Sethupathi, Prabhakar anchor Ponram's middling attempt to get back on track

Rating: ( 2.5 / 5).

When actors and directors with distinct styles collaborate, it is never a perfect balance of worlds. Depending on the stature of either party, the film tends to tilt slightly to one side. Even if director Ponram is in a slump of sorts, the filmmaker has a proven track record with his brand of comedy setpieces. On the other hand, Vijay Sethupathi has an eclectic style that hasn’t yet been perfected for his sojourns as a lead hero in proper masala films. Interestingly, these two worlds collide head on in DSP , and it is almost like both their sensibilities alternate in the narrative. If there is a Vijay Sethupathi-ism thrown in during an important fight, we also have a slapstick Ponram-ism making its way into the same sequence. This oscillation between these two worlds results in a few interesting asides in an otherwise template commercial film. 

Cast: Vijay Sethupathi, Anukreethy Vas,  Ilavarasu, Prabhakar

Director: Ponram

DSP Vascodagama (Vijay Sethupathi) takes on a dreaded Chennai gangster to facilitate a transfer to his home city of Dindigul. Why did he have to do this specific task to get a transfer? We don’t know. Firstly, why is the protagonist named Vascodagama? We don’t know. Also, why does he allow his friends to make fun of a small-built dark-skinned suitor for his sister when she has been rejected by a series of prospective grooms citing her appearance?? We don’t know. Why is a meet-cute between Vascodagama and Annapoorani (Anukreethy Vas) that is both funny and smart soon followed up with straight-up harassment in the name of wooing? We don’t know. There are many more dichotomies in the film that we might not have the answer for, but the film continues to chug along from one scene to another thanks to a strong hero, and an even stronger villain, Mutta Ravi (Prabhakar). The setting up of the conflict isn’t something we haven’t seen before. In fact, some of the pivotal plot points in the film were reminiscent of Vishal films like Sandakozhi or Thimiru. But an effective Vijay Sethupathi and a convincing Prabhakar do their best to drive home DSP to a safe end even if it stumbles and stutters along the way. 

The problems in DSP are definitely aplenty, and it starts right from the time Annapoorani is brought into the picture. Even if we first see her as an ambitious woman, she is soon relegated to playing the trope of a feisty village girl. Annapoorani also goes absent for long stretches of time, only to return for a hackneyed sequence with a special cameo. Did I laugh for certain portions in that stretch? Yes. Did it help the film at all? No. Unfortunately, there were more scenes in DSP that elicited similar responses. Entire comedy set-pieces involving a police station and their shenanigans could be construed to be funny, for sure, but they definitely belong to another film altogether. 

Glorification of trigger-happy cops notwithstanding, DSP also tries to be a commentary on how many police officers are arm-twisted by the powers that be to do their bidding. While the retaliation by DSP Vasco is anything but novel, brief spurts of ingenuity work in favour of the film. Be it during a chase sequence, or even an interrogation scene, there are certain crowd-pleasing moments injected into the film too keep the film engaging. Another facet that Ponram gets right is definitely the establishment of Vasco’s relationship dynamics. His equation with his father (Ilavarasu), friend (Linga), and friend’s father is beautifully staged. There are very poignant moments involving Vasco and these characters that balance out the cliches of the rest of the film. The same thing holds good with the antagonist’s story too, which is superficially very simple but has a layer or two to pique our interest. 

After a rather disappointing outing in his previous film, Ponram manages to get back on track with DSP . It is almost like Vijay Sethupathi’s Sethupathi-styled cop meets the humour levels of a Seema Raja. This might not seem a palatable medley, but it somehow manages to stay afloat as an almost entertaining, but definitely confused film stuck between a template and a good place.

Director : Sri Kishore

Producers : RV Raju, D Venkatesh, Akrosh

Music Director : Kamran

Starring : Bhupal Raju, Manoj Nandam, Dhanraj, Pooja Ramachandran

One small budget film which is carrying a decent buzz in this week release list is Devi Sri Prasad. Directed by debutant Sai Kishore, this film has hit the screens today. Let’s see how it is.

Devi Sri Prasad’s story is all about three close friends Devi (Bhupal Raju) Sri(Dhanraj) and Prasad (Manoj Nandam). When everything seems to be going well in their life, a major car accident of a reputed heroine Leela (Pooja Ramachandran) leads to a drastic change in their behavior. Who is this Leela? What is her backstory? and What change does she bring in these three friends life? To know this, you have to watch the film in theaters.

Plus Points:

Lead actors Dhanraj, Bhupal Raju and Manoj Nandam have given a decent performance in their respective roles. Especially, Bhupal Raju’s performance as a wicked guy in tense scenes brings a depth to the proceedings to an extent.

Pooja Ramachandran is good looking and gave an okay performance in the given crucial role. Posani Murali Krishna and comedian Tillu tried to evoke a few laughs here and there.

One of the major drawbacks of the film is its illogic narration. The director has taken many cinematic liberties to narrate the film with an uneven screenplay and unexciting proceedings.

Though the film’s genre is a crime thriller, the director should have injected enough comedy episodes into the proceedings to entertain the audience to an extent.

Even though the twist that has been revealed in the climax looks good, you get a feeling that the whole proceedings were just dragged to showcase that twist. The logic goes missing in many scenes.

Technical Aspects:

As said above, director Sai Kishore’s uneven screenplay and illogical narration will disappoint the audience big time. The cinematography is okay and apt to the film’s mood. Editing is good as the short and crispy runtime is a major sign of relief for the audience. Music by Syed Kamran is impressive as his background score gives depth to the proceedings to an extent. Production values for this low budget film are okay.

On the whole, Devi Sri Prasad is a silly crime story which lacks proper depth in the proceedings and narration. Though the first twenty minutes raise curiosity, rest of the proceedings completely sidetrack and make this a logicless film from there on. You can safely ignore this film and look out for some other options from the rest of the releases this weekend.
