Liger Movie Review By: Sarvepalli Bhavana
Starring Vijay Deverakonda, Ananya Pandey and Ramya Krishna in the lead roles, Puri Jagannadh director Liger hit the screens today. This highly anticipated and highly anticipated film has had a lot of hype among the young and on social media, but was open to mixed reactions from around the world. But is this movie worth all the hype? Look.
Liger (Vijay Deverakonda) and his mother Balamani (Ramya Krishna) come to Mumbai from Karimnagar to be trained by Christopher (Ronit Roy) for Mixed Marital Arts Championship. For a living they sell tea on the streets of Mumbai. Christopher’s rival is Sanju who is already a champion in MMA and now Liger has to beat Sanju in the ring. Liger falls in love with Taniya, Sanju’s sister.
Taniya breaks up with Liger one day because of his stuttering problem. He loses his confidence as the competition approaches. On the other hand, Balamani is doing everything he can to regain his confidence and push him to the ring. As the fight between him and Sanju gets personal, Liger begins to take it seriously as revenge on Taniya. But it is Liger’s responsibility to win as he becomes an inspiration to many trench boys like him. His mother also dreams of becoming a champion. Will he succeed? Is it so easy for a youngster from the slums of Mumbai to become an international champion? Are there no villains here? Let’s see that too.
What’s hot?
That first actor who deserves all the credit here is Ramya Krishna. She is the soul of the movie. She is a burning mother who will not let harm come near her son. Not even a girl. Her performance in this film is powerful. Vijay Deverakonda’s physical transformation into a martial arts champion is worthy of applause. His performance as a stuttering dude is natural. He takes on the role of the rough boy from the slums and his avatar is stunning. Ronit Roy, Ali, Getup Srinu and Vish did a good job. Watching Mike Tyson on screen gives the audience a high and his introductory scene will give the audience goosebumps.
Vishnu Sharma’s camera work is good. BGM elevates almost all scenes. Thanks to Charmme, production values are high. Director Puri Jagannadh has left his mark in the film. His dialogues, characterization of the performers and every detail he focused on are just wow. He came up with a movie after three long years and the manager drags bits and pieces into your heart. The first half of the film is very strong and the mark of Puri is clearly visible here.
What not?
The second half of the movie is very boring, annoying, annoying and all that. It is written and shot in a very bad way. The hero starts working on something and ends up doing something else. The climax could have been a lot better and what you expect to see is what doesn’t happen there. Ananya Pandey is one of the biggest drawbacks of the movie. While she brings twists and turns in the story, she doesn’t really have anything meaty to play with. She’s just a glamor doll who has to do a skin show. Liger would be a Telugu movie. But the whole movie is shot in Hindi and dubbed in Telugu. That is so disgusting to see. Only Vijay Devarakonda, Ramya Krishna and Ali recite dialogues in Telugu. Mumbai wallpaper is a red flag and you really can’t connect to it.
verdict:
In general, the Liger manages to impress the audience here, but the director fails to tell a successful story.
