Afterrn delivering two disappointing films like 'Tuck Jagadish' and 'V', rnNatural star Nani is all set to take us on an interesting ride with rn'Shyam Singha Roy'. Directed by Rahul Sankrityan, this film has talentedrn actresses Sai Pallavi, Krithi Shetty and Madonna Sebastian as the rnfemale leads. The trailer and songs raised a lot of expectations about rnthis film based on the concept of reincarnation. Without any delay, letsrn us get right into the complete review.
Story:
The film rnkicks off with Vasu (Nani) who leaves his job in order to become a rndirector. He makes short films to showcase his talent. Keerthy (Krithi rnShetty) is roped in as the heroine for his film and romance blooms rnbetween them in no time. Vasu completes his debut film and gets a lot ofrn recognition. But he lands in legal trouble as a Bengal based company rnfiles a lawsuit on Vasu claiming that his movie's story is taken out rndirectly from the book of a famous poet in West Bengal named Shyam rnSingha Roy (Nani). Vasu often finds himself blacked out which is linked rnto this case. Who is Shyam Singha Roy? What is his connection to Vasu? rnWill Vasu get out of the legal trouble? Where is Rosie and how is she rnlinked to the story? All of these questions will be answered on the big rnscreen.
Analysis:
Ever since the release of posters, the rnaudience were highly impressed with Nani's new look as 'Shyam Singha rnRoy'. The makers showcased more of Shyam Singha Roy's portions in the rnpromotional content like teasers and trailer which increased the rnexpectations of movie lovers. Nani too talked highly about the Kolkata rnbackdrop and his character. Though people knew that Nani will be playingrn two different roles, everyone's focus was on Shyam Singha Roy. But we rnget to see Shyam Singha Roy only during the interval episode which meansrn we have to get invested in Vasu's story till then. Sadly, it is the rnstoryline featuring Nani as Vasu which is quite dull and offers nothing rnnew. The short film troubles and his love story with Krithi Shetty look rnquite ordinary. It may be due to the anticipation for Shyam Singha Roy rncharacter but the entire first half with a normal romantic story neitherrn engages nor entertains the audience.
The movie picks up pace andrn things get more interesting with the arrival of Shyam Singha Roy's rncharacter. The scenes featuring him and Sai Pallavi are picturised very rnwell. With two brilliant actors at his disposal, director Rahul rnSankrityan made the best use of them which resulted in gripping rnflashback episodes. Once again Sai Pallavi delivers a stellar rnperformance and her dance sequences are a delight to watch. The drama rnduring the second half is built up nicely and the emotion during the rnaction episodes comes out brilliantly.
With good backing from rnthe technical department, the flashback episodes take the film to next rnlevel. Also, director Rahul Sankrityan delivers the message he intends rnto without beating around the bush which needs to be appreciated. He rnshows his boldness in not taking the commercial route and sticking to rnthe script. Had he taken more care about the slow-paced narration and a rnpassable first half, 'Shyam Singha Roy' could have worked wonders.
'Shyamrn Singha Roy' is definitely a class film that has a gripping second half rnbut you need to watch an okay first half before. The performances of thern lead cast and the staggering work of the technicians make it a perfect rnwatch in the theatres.
Performances:
Nani gives a rnsolid performance as Shyam Singha Roy. He owned the character and did rnexceptionally well. Though he doesn't have much to do as Vasu, the rnflashback portions put Nani's capabilities are put to test and he passedrn with flying colors. The new look suited him and Nani managed to pull itrn off with grace. He showed some variation in dialogue delivery and body rnlanguage too. He is at his best during fight scenes and emotional parts.rn Sai Pallavi is brilliant in her role. Her look as a devadasi is quite rngood and she did a very good job. Her chemistry with Nani worked out rnwell and her fans are in for a real treat as she moves like magic in thern songs.
Krithi Shetty looks gorgeous onscreen. Her modern avatar rnis very attractive and she lights up the screen effortlessly. Though shern doesn't have a lot of scope to perform, she did well in her limited rnscreen time. Romantic scenes between her and Nani came out well and rnappeals to the youth. Madonna Sebastian is apt for her role as a lawyer.rn She played her supporting role with a lot of maturity. Rahul Ravindran rngets an important role and does complete justice. Abhinav Gomatam tries rnto generate some laughs in the first half. The rest of the actors are rnadequate for their characters.
Technicians:
'Shyam Singha rnRoy' has top notch technical quality. Cinematographer Sanu John Varghesern is wonderful. He showcased the difference between two timelines rnperfectly. The visuals are a delight to watch and his brilliance can be rnseen during the West Bengal episodes. Artwork needs to be appreciated rnhighly as people are sure to get awestruck by the amount hardwork that rnwent into bringing the required authenticity. The sets look amazing and rnelevated the movie a lot. Mickey J Meyer's music suits the movie in a rnperfect manner. The songs look very good on the screen but it is his rnbackground score that creates a huge impact.
He lifts the mood rnof the film viewers during many scenes. Costumes by Neeraja Kona rndeserves a special mention. They are natural and suited the actors rnperfectly. Her styling for Sai Pallavi is pure bliss. The production rnvalues from Venkat Boyanapalli are great as each penny is visible on thern big screen. Editing is decent but there is a lot of lag in the film. rnSome sequences in the first half could've been trimmed.
Director rnRahul Sankrityan took up a complicated story for his second film. He putrn more effort into the Shyam Singha Roy character compared to Vasu's and rnit is very visible. His work looks ordinary in the first half but his rnability is at full display in the second half. His clarity is visible asrn the logics are maintained clearly and the ideology is injected in a rnsmooth way despite the hard-hitting dialogues at times.
He rnelevates the character so well but he takes a lot of time in the first rnhalf to establish the basic plotline which tests the patience of the rnaudience. On the whole, 'Shyam Singha Roy' can be watched in theatres rnjust to witness the brilliance of Nani and Sai Pallavi. There are some rninteresting scenes that keep you hooked but there are a few moments rnwhere the slow narration disrupts the flow. The young director has shownrn that he has a lot of fire and ability in him.
Verdict: 'Shyam' Shines But Vasu falters.
Rating: 2.75/5
