Highlights:
Nara Rohit
Engaging Plot
Relatable Dialogues
Fast Paced Screnplay
Drawbacks:
Lacks logic at places in second half
Analysis:
The first half of ‘Prathinidhi 2’ is well handled despite of having a familiar plot and scenes. Inspite of its predictable nature, the scenes were handled well with relatable Dialogues and questions aimed at corrupt politicians on a live show. The noble intentions and intent to convey a proper message to the audience makes the first half impressive with an interesting twist towards the interval
The second half deviated from the first half deals with the CBI inquiry about assassination of a Chief Minister. Though the turn the film takes seems interesting, But it lacks logic at places brings down the graph. With a more realistic approach, the film could have been perfect with a proper second half.
Mahati Swara Sagar’s music is adequate and Nani Chamidisetty’s cinematography is decent. The editing is good, and the film maintains a fast pace for the most part. Production values are impressive.
Rating: 3/5
Bottom-line: Adequate Political Drama With An Impressive Act From Nara Rohith
