Jack Movie Review
Telugu360 Rating: 2/5
Siddhu Jonnalagadda scored super hits with the franchise of Tillu. He is now testing his luck with Jack. Bommarillu fame Baskar is the director and Baby fame Vaishnavi Chaitanya is the leading lady. BVSN Prasad is the producer and Jack released today. Here is the review of the film:
Story:
Pablo Neroda (Siddhu Jonnalagadda) names himself as Jack and he is a talented youngster. He dreams of achieving big in life and he tests himself in cricket, football and tennis. But his coaches ignore him as he follows his own path in the sport. Terrorists plans multiple bomb attacks in all the major cities of the country. Raw steps in to trace the terrorists and the Mission is lead by Manoj (Prakash Raj). Jack waits for the results of Raw and in this while he takes up his own missions. In this process, he comes to know about the mission of Manoj and launches his own mission to nab the terrorists. The rest of Jack is what happens next.
Analysis:
The film has a tagline of ‘Veedu Konchem Krack’. The film’s director Baskar designed the character of Jack as per the tagline. The plot and the characterization of Jack are interesting. But the narration of the film falls flat and fails to achieve the mission. The director makes of Raw agents and their missions in Jack and this is not acceptable. A youngster named Jack chases all the missions that were not achieved by Raw. The agency is on a hunt for the terrorists and Jack plans his own mission to catch these terrorists.
The heroine is after the hero to know about his goal. The entire film happens in this flow. When Jack is on a mission to serve his nation, he is not much interested to help Raw. The audience have many questions about the goals of Raw and the mission of Jack. The role of Manoj (Prakash Raj) is crucial but it is not seriously designed. Subbaraju who played an IAS officer too fails to make an impact. Most of the episodes in Jack are completely silly and they will not impress the audience.
The films that are related to terrorism and Raw should be narrated on a serious note with intense and gripping narration. But Jack is a silly attempt from the first to the last. There are no thrilling factors in Jack. If the director wanted to entertain the audience, he should have chosen an entertaining plot. The film has lot of references of Tillu and they are the speed breakers of the film. The climax fight is forceful and it doesn’t work out. The entire Nepal episode is a failure.
Performances:
Siddhu Jonnalagadda reminds of entertainment in the franchise of Tillu. He has been entertaining in some of the scenes but Jack is not the film for Siddhu. He needs energetic roles. Vaishnavi Chaitanya gets one more disappointing role and her performance will not be remembered. Baskar is known to design the roles of his heroines well but Jack proves it wrong. Prakash Raj’s role is not well designed and his performance fails to impress.
Jack misses the mark of Bommarillu Baskar. The film even misses the style of Siddhu Jonnalagadda. The title song is good and the other songs fail to impress. The background score is a disappointment. The production values are good. Jack is a big disappointment from Bommarillu Baskar and Siddhu Jonnalagadda.
