Ghazi movie review || Rana Daggubati || Sankalp ||
#TheGhaziAttack
CENSOR ‘U’Certified, 123 mins
What is the film about?
The movie is about Naval warfare and how it fought a war underwater against PNS Ghazi, a submarine from Pakistan.
How is Rana’s performance?
The best thing about Rana is his body and the intensity he brings to the character. Add to it good Telugu diction, it covers all other potential flaws that one could have pointed out when he does a regular commercial outing. Here in Ghazi, he is absolutely perfect for the part. There is no high drama, it is just intense stares with occasional high-pitched dialogue delivery. Rana scores well on both those counts.
Direction By Sankalp Reddy?
Sankalp Reddy makes his debut with the film but never does that comes across during the viewing. It looks like the film has been handled by a well-seasoned director. The thing with attempting something out of ordinary is one has to get the right screenplay and actors. When both are in tune, the narration becomes gripping automatically. The Ghazi, the biggest victory of the director is putting a right cast together. They all gel well with each other and bring the required emotions to the fore as and when necessary. Even when there is not much happening in terms of story, these actors hold our attention. If there is a good screenplay in the mix, one has a sure shot winner in hand. Ghazi’s plot is simple but the way the screenplay is constructed is what makes this a must watch. The way the whole submarine set up has been used in the screenplay deserved kudos. It is a perfect usage of the Naval warfare techniques and terminology that makes the film work. Never do we get a feeling of artificialness or pretentiousness. The first half of the film is fine but the real high moments are reserved for the second half. Overall Ghazi is a good watch barring the slow pace issue at times.
Taapsee and others?
Taapsee has nothing much to do in the film. She is on board the submarine but has nothing else to do performance wise. It is the other character actor’s that make the film worthwhile. Kay Kay Menon is terrific. He is a show stealer. Atul Kulkarni is good and he brings the necessary depth to the character that makes one instantly hooked to it. Satyadev is good. Kaushik is alright. Late Om Puri is seen in a very brief role. Same is the case with Nassar.
Music and other departments?
Music by K comprises of background score and it is terrific. Technically the movie is awesome with a slight problem in the VFX area. The cinematography is good and the editing is razor sharp. Dialogues are good. Set design of the submarine is terrific.Highlights?
