Manchu Family has been relying a lot on Remakes these days. Be it Potugadu or Current Theega & Denikaina Ready, All of them fall in the same slot. Now, The new project 'Dynamite' is a remake of Tamil superhit Arima Nambi. Can the success be recreated again?

Synopsis:

'Dynamite' is the story of a Self-Employee Youth Shivaji Krishna (Manchu Vishnu) who goes in search of his Missing Girlfriend Anamika (Pranitha) despite all odds. Who kidnaps Anamika (D/O Channel 24 Owner)? In what way Central IB Minister Rishi Dev (JD Chakravarthy) is related  to the kidnap mystery? Has Shivaji Krishna succeeded in chasing the mystery? Grab your tickets & know more...!

Performances:

Manchu Vishnu has put in a lot of effort in every frame he appeared. From changing the look to gaining muscles, He has done everything to impress and even his performance has improved compared to his past films.

Pranitha looked like a mismatch for Vishnu in the movie. Lack of chemistry between Manchu Vishnu and Pranitha is the biggest drawback of Dynamite.

JD Chakravarthy is the one who steals the show with his cunning nature. Paruchuri Venkateswara Rao, Nagineedu and Ravi Prakash have done their job.

Pros:

Screenplay

Cinematography

Cons:

Songs

Lengthy Fights

Lack of chemistry between Lead Pair

Technicalities:

Tunes composed by Achu are pretty ordinary but his Background Score is a saving grace. Camera Work by Satish Muthyala is good. BVS Ravi's Dialogues lack the punch. Vijayan's Action Blocks deserve special mention. Editing need to be more crisp in the latter half. Deva Katta was unable to leave a mark of his own with this remake. 24 Frames Factory maintained good Production Values.

Analysis:

Usually, Audience expect some speciality in a remake and they will have certain expectations on the film. In case of Dynamite, Better you watch it with an open mind. Why because, It's just an ordinary Action Thriller. Even though it doesn't have any mesmerizing elements, It succeeded in arousing the curiosity of the viewers to know what happens next till the last frame. Taut Screenplay which keeps the audience guessing till the last twist gets unfolded is the highlight of this movie.

Although its a screenplay-based movie, More focus has been on the action blocks and songs. Fights have been given too much importance even though the key part is the mind game between Hero & Villain. Lengthy Fights have spoiled the suspense elements to an extent. To make things worse, Audience get the feeling none of the songs were necessary for such a film.

Hero-Heroine Combination scenes weren't effective. But, Audience get engaged once the actual story begins. Especially, The last half-hour when Villain enters the scene offers edge of the seat experience.

Dynamite have few thrilling moments. Of course, The impact could have been more had if the story was narrated in a realistic manner sans any illogical scenes. Sequences such as Villain killing a person in Control Room & Hero kidnapping Villain from a high speed train look unrealistic. Even the manner in which Hero diverts the attention of Police to abduct Villain looks silly. At the same time, Climax wasn't dealt properly and the Railway Station sequence is a bit confusing.

Bottom Line: Huge Explosion - Normal Impact!
