Manchurn Manoj & Dasarath - How much odd does this combination look? A rndecade ago, The duo teamed up for 'Sri' which ended as a dud at Box rnOffice. This time, They  opted for a 'romantic thriller' to test their rnluck again. Did the risk pay off?

Synopsis:

Shouryarn (Manchu Manoj), a Harvard Graduate, and Nethra (Regina Cassandra), an rnMP's Daughter, fall in love. As Nethra's Family doesn't approve their rnalliance, The Love Birds plan to leave for USA to spend rest of their rnlives. Before leaving to the airport, They visit Lord Shiva temple whichrn Nethra likes so much and spend the whole night there itself. By the rntime he wakes up, Shourya finds Nethra in a pool of blood as someone hadrn cut her throat. Cops take Shourya into custody on suspicion that he rntried to kill her lover and admit Nethra in a hospital. Did Shourya rnreally attack Nethra or Someone else is behind the murder attempt? What rnhappened on that night? Chase the mystery by thronging theares nearby rnyou!

Performances:

Not just rnthe Physical Appearance, Even Manoj's Performance is completely rndifferent from what he has done in the past. Initially, His overweight rnappearance gives an awkward feeling but audience get used to him as the rnstory progresses.

Regina Cassandra's role is integral part of rnthe story but she doesn't have much scope to perform. Don't expect her rnto sport glamorous avatar in this concept-based movie.

After a rnvery long time, Prakash Raj played a pivotal role and he excels as rnusual. Brahmanandam was wasted. Prabhas Seenu tickles the funny bone at rntimes. Nagineedu, Subbaraju, Shayaji Shinde and Nandu were alright.

Pros:

Concept

Manchu Manoj

Twists & Turns

Cons:

Screenplay

Direction

Songs & Comedy Tracks

Technicalities:

Debutantern Composer Veda.K has done a decent job. Couple of songs were good but rnBGM is pretty average. There's nothing special about Malvar Bhatt's rnCamera Work either. He failed to attain the desired tempo or tone a rnthriller flick requires. Dialogues by Dasarath & Kishore were rnpassable. Screenplay by Gopimohan & Hari isn't up to the mark. rnProduction Values were appreciable. Inspite of having a compelling rnstory, Dasarth who walked out of his comfort zone failed in the rnexecution part and 'Shourya' ends up as one of his weakest films till rndate.

Analysis:

Attempting a rn'Thriller' Flick is nothing but walking on a double-edged sword. rnEspecially, Makers can't deviate from the Central Plot and Screenplay rnhas to be taut for offering a nail-biting finish. Duet Songs, Family rnEmotions and Regular Comedy are a big no for Thrillers. The major rnproblem with 'Shourya' is Dasarth made a conscious attempt to make a rnthriller with all these commercial ingredients.

In the very rnbeginning itself, Heroine was found bleeding with a cut on her throat. rnBy Interval, Hero confesses to have attacked the Heroine on his own. rnTowards the climax, The mystery gets unfolded. There are few high-pointsrn in the story but Dasarth didn't succeed in getting the audience into rnthe right mood right from the beginning.

The Love Track of Manojrn & Regina is a big bore. Even Songs & Comedy Tracks looks to be rncomplete misfit in the subject. It was only after Prakash Raj's entry, rnThe momentum has picked up and last 30 minutes is the real strength of rn'Shourya'.    

Twists & Turns in the story were quite rninteresting. Even the game played by Protagonist to make Villains pay rnthe price has been executed well. The way Climax was designed looks veryrn much apt. All said, 'Shourya' doesn't give a good feeling for the rnaudience because of the flaws in the Narration.  

Bottom Line: Lacks Thrilling Stuff!
