Raja aka Raja The Great (Ravi Teja) is given the assignment to save her life by IG. How Raja (Ravi Teja) rescues her by taking on a powerful Devraj (Vivan Bhatena) is the story of the film.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Performances:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ravi Teja plays a blind guy with perfection keeping all the mass sensibilities in mind. The comic timing and incredible energy need not be mentioned specially. They are fantastic to watch on the big screen. Director Anil Ravipudi makes full use of it and presents a highly stylized Ravi Teja on-screen with all his mannerisms intact.<\/p>\n<p>Mehreen looks lovely and acts beautifully. Her character is vastly different from the last outing which shows she has got new dimension as an actor.<\/p>\n<p>Radhika, Prakash Raj, and Sampath play crucial roles but have the small runtime. Radhika\u2019s role is meatier among the three. Vivaan Bhatena makes an impactful debut in Telugu cinema, playing the staple funny villain in all its glory. Srinivas Reddy plays the perfect sidekick to hero.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Positives:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Entertainment<br \/>\nRavi Teja<br \/>\nFirst Half<br \/>\nInterval<\/p>\n<p><strong>Negatives:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Predictable and Routine Story<\/p>\n<p><strong>Analysis:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Anil Ravipudi is again back with a rollicking commercial entertainer. He sets the premise at the very beginning itself. He then puts all the pieces together, one by one, filled with equal doses of action and entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>The first half of the movie is entertainment with the hero establishment as blind and the Darjeeling episode providing them aplenty. The hero and heroine track is established neatly and in a straightforward manner without too much of dragging. The focus shifts towards the action at interval mark, and it continues that way majorly in the second half.<\/p>\n<p>There are entertaining segments in the second half too with few laugh out loud sequences, but overall the mood is that of action and a solid faceoff between the hero and villain. The ending is perfect with all the mass elements coming together to create a punch.<\/p>\n<p>Sai Karthik\u2019s songs are slightly underwhelming, but the background score is superb. Mohan Krishna\u2019s cinematography is excellent. Tammiraju\u2019s editing is sharp. The production values by Dil Raju are fantastic.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Bottom-line:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Out &amp;\u00a0Out Mass Entertainer<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Rating:<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">3\/5<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title\u00a0:\u00a0Raja The Great CBFC Rating :\u00a0U\/A Run-Time :\u00a02 Hrs\u00a029\u00a0Mins Release Date :\u00a018-10-2017 Banner :\u00a0Sri Venkateswara Creations Cast :\u00a0Ravi Teja, Mehreen, Rajendra Prasad, Prakash Raj, Thanikella Bharani, Vivan Bhatena\u00a0and Others Music :\u00a0Sai Kartheek DOP : Mohana Krishna Producer : Shirish, Dil Raju Written &amp; Directed By :\u00a0Anil Ravipudi Story: Devaraj (Vivan Bhatena) has two ambitions in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24,14,17],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[],"class_list":["post-300222","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-movies","category-reviews","category-slideshow"],"read":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300222","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=300222"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300222\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=300222"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=300222"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=300222"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/industryhit.com\/t\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=300222"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
