The new Telugu film Dirty Fellow, starring Shanti Chandra, revolves around a soldier who serves in the Indian Navy. The teaser and trailer have received a good response from the audience. So far, good promotions have created hype around Dirty Fellow. The film was released yesterday, May 24.
JP (Nagineedu) and Shankar Narayana (Satya Prakash) are two mafia dons and close friends. One fine day, Satya Prakash hatches a plan to eliminate JP so that he can become the undisputed mafia don. He arranges things in such a way that the cops are after JP but in a tragic turn of events, Shankar Narayana’s son gets killed. Shakar Narayana is upset by this and declares war on JP, stating that he will kill his son Satru (Santi Chandra) at any cost. As time passes, Shanti Chandra has plans to deal with Shankar Naraya and his gang. How this all unfolds is the main story of the film.
Highs
Dirty Fellow has been directed by Adari Murthy Sai and he sets a good tone right from the start. He starts the film with the character of Dirty Fellow and slowly unleashes the mafia war. Once this is done, the character of Siddhu is introduced, which piques the interest in the story. The promos may look a little odd, but once you accept the new faces, things start looking pretty good for the viewer.
The interest is piqued when the main villain comes to know that Siddhu and Dirty Fellow are the same person, and they have the villain and his gang in their hands. The film has a decent glamour, and the makers have used it in a very sensible way.
Lows
The first half has action and romance but is boring when it comes to emotions. The makers should have handled this aspect a little better. And with a few more familiar faces, the film would have been even better for sure. The way the hero’s true identity is revealed is portrayed interestingly.
The crucial scene in the swimming pool is well done. The character of JP, who brings a very interesting twist in the climax is also quite nice. But the film has scenes that are a little over the top. The action sequences, confrontation scenes and over-the-top dialogues should have been reduced a little to make the film look decent.
Performances
Santi Chandra, who plays the lead role, gives a decent performance. Though he looks a bit odd in the songs, he is a perfect fit when it comes to dialogues and screen presence. Siddhu, in his pivotal role, does well in the film. Deepika Singh, Nikkesha Rangwala and Simrithi Bathija are okay in their roles.
Satya Prakash gets a pivotal role and does well in it. He is known to play negative roles with ease and he does the same in Dirty Fellow. The editing could have been much better in the second half. Satish’s music is decent but the BGM was even better.
Verdict
Dirty Fellow is a film with a mafia setting and mostly new faces. Though the film starts on a strange note and has a few over-the-top moments, the twists keep us engaged from time to time.
