This movie is the dubbed version of Tamil movie named "Naan Mahaan Alla"..., Directed by Suseendran, this film stars Karthi in the lead role. "Naan Mahaan Alla" is a decent performer at the box office and the same producer, KE Gnanavel Raja who produced it in Tamil, dubbed in to Telugu on Studio Green banner. Karthi is fast growing Tamil hero in terms of dubbing market in Tollywood. With "Yuganiki Okkadu" and "Awara", he got a decent fan base in AP too. Read on Naa Peru Shiva details in this review.


Story:
Shiva (Karthi) is a middle class guy who is waiting for a job opportunity. He loves Priya (Kajal) whom he meets in a marriage. She too falls for him but their love is not approved by Priya’s father. As per his wish Shiva takes up a job in a bank. Everything goes fine for Shiva until a group of college kids plans a murder attempt on his father. Why are they after Shiva’s father, what happens next is to be seen on the screen.
Analysis:
Director Suseendran made a successful debut in Tamil cinema with Vennila Kabaddi Kuzhu, which was later remade in Telugu as Bheemili Kabaddi Jattu. In this film Suseendran dealt with an urban based story which has romance, entertainment, family sentiment and crime blended in it.
First half of the film races along at a brisk pace with lots of good comedy. Karthi is the source for all the fun in the first half. However, the movie takes an unexpected turn in the second hour and slowly turns out to be a crime thriller. There is so much edge of the seat stuff in the second hour despite few slow patches here and there.
The protagonist character too takes a huge turn towards the finale. Last twenty minutes in the film has a high dose of action. It is difficult for anybody to handle such script which runs along various genres and shifts from one to another at a rapid pace. Director handled the film very well until the penultimate scenes. However, the conclusion leaves you wondering with a ‘how could that happen?’ face!
Director should have ended the film with hero seeking the revenge. Adding that one last scene is absolutely unnecessary. Also the antagonists that are supposed to be teenagers looked like they were in their mid twenties. Choosing an apt star cast who perfectly resembles the age might have left more impact on the audience.
This film is for matured audience and the violence in this duly deserve an A certificate. So kids should stay away from this film as there is ample footage of drug usage and crime in it.
Performances:
Karthi is simply superb as Shiva. He did a marvelous job in the first hour with impeccable comic timing and he is equally menacing in the last fight. His brother Suriya who is a terrific actor needs to work out to look perfect for each role but Karthi is gifted with a flexible body with which he could easily switch genres.
Kajal Agarwal is cute. She has very little to do in this film. She is hardly seen in the second half. Two among five villains will leave an impact. Jayaprakash, Raviprakash, Soori and others did well within their limitations.
Technicalities:
Dialogues are crisp. Music by Yuvan Shankar Raja is good. His background score is the life for this film. Madhi’s cinematography is another plus point. Kasi Viswanath’s editing is crisp. Only fight composed by Anal Arasu is breathtaking. Production values are very good.
Director Suseendran’s plot may not appeal to everyone but he shines as a director. Only complaint about his work is he kept the core content till the climax and he had to hurry to wrap up things in that time. Had he given enough time for the hero to go on a rampage, masses would have lapped it up.
Bottom line about the Movie: "Naa Peru Shiva" is a slick film with weak ending!
Box office verdict: "Naa Peru Shiva" opened huge and it shows Karthi’s growing craze in Andhra Pradesh. This film might face tough competition from straight Telugu films Dhada and Kandireega which are lined up for release in next week.
"Naa Peru Shiva" Movie Rating: 2.75/5
Starring: Karthi, Kajal Aggarwal
Music: Yuvan Shankar Raja
Producer: K.E.Gnanavelraja
