Raviteja-Sreenu
Vaitla combo proved a hit again 
There are lot
of specialties behind the team of
Dubai Seenu. The film is coming from a
banner which gave blockbuster like
Desamuduru. The director of the film
Sreenu Vaitla also had a hit in the recent past like
Dhee. The hero of
the film Ravi Teja's combo with the director
Venky was a big hit.
Nayantara also gave a hit in Lakshmi recently. Hence the successful combination
of all these four evoked lots of expectations and the film kept up the
expectations with an above average, creating the talks of becoming a hit, right
from the morning show. However, the film has good mass values and is attractive
for youth.
Srinivas alias Dubai Seenu (Ravi Teja) has dreams of going to
Dubai and earn lots of money. Like many gullible youth, he and his friends go to
Mumbai and they are deceived by a fraudster (Venumadhav). With all the money got
swindled, they can't return to their place. Again, another fraudster Patnaik
(Krishna Bhagawan) makes use of them and starts earning money with their help
pretending that he is helping them to set up a Pav Bhaji centre. Seenu
accidentally meets Madhumati (Nayantara) and loses his heart to her. In fact,
Madhu comes to Mumbai in search of her brother. Seenu pretends to her that he is
a software engineer. Once, he proposes his love to Madhu but Patnaik proves the
true colours of Seenu and Madhu leaves in a huff. Meanwhile, Seenu meets his
friend Chakri (JD Chakravarthy). In fact, Seenu helps Chakri who loves Puja
(Neha) and got them married. Chakri and Puja promise Seenu to help him in
sending to Dubai. They make all the arrangements. When they are about to return
to Hyderabad, they find that their boss is none other than noted criminal and
mafia don Jinna (Sushant). Realising that they have recognised him, Jinna and
his brother (Raghu) kill both of them right in front of Seenu. Before dying,
Chakri reveals that Madhu is his sister. Seenu returns to Hyderabad and repays
the loan of Madhu's father and relieves their house from mortgage. He avenges
the killing of his best friend Chakri by killing Jinna and his brother.
Sreenu Vytla's directorial abilities, Ravi Teja's
performance, Nayantara's glamour, comedy by Sayaji Shinde, Venumadhav, Krishna
Bhagawan and MS Narayana are the highlights of the film. The hero's catchword
'Appadam Ayipothundi' has become very popular. The film has Ravi Teja's marked
comedy as well and he has perfectly maintained comedy time again. Music by Mani
Sharma is good and their choreography is also nice. There are six songs - two
are shot in the sets, two are canned in Mumbai, while one each is choreographed
in Europe and Dubai. Camera work by Bharani K Dharan is also good. Especially in
action scenes, the cinematography has been done with lots of variety. Dialogues
by Chintapalli Ramana are okay. The satires on how the heroes these days involve
in the director's work and give suggestions are perfectly shot.
Minus:There are some scenes which are unnecessary and they
could have been deleted. Editor Varma who makes debut through this film should
learn more on how to chop unnecessary scenes. The first few shots to elevate the
image of the villain are quite confusing, as it is difficult to know who is
opposing whom and the rivalry between different groups of the villains. The
killing of Raja Ravindra is also little confusing. Pruthvi's character is also
not established properly. CVL Narasimha Rao's character is also ornamental. But
for a few lapses, the film is good on an overall basis.
Remarks:The film reminds the audience of the days of Venky,
the film which came out from the combination of the hero and the director. As a
whole, the film could attract the masses and youth and would run well in B and C
centres but may not be that attractive to the family audiences. Sayaji Shinde
plays the crooked police officer, who is after the heroine and has done a good
comedy and with Raghubabu as his side kick helped in boosting the comedy.
Bhanuchander and Sunil have done justice to their roles.
