The rest of the actors are okay with some like Dhanraj being wasted. Madhunandan does a part that is not comic, and he is alright. Kota Srinivas Rao is fine in the limited space given to him. But, his character is poorly sketched to make an impression. Comedian Venu is the one guy beside the hero who looks invested in the narrative. He seems to be going through the motions without any real interest. Poorna, on the other hand, has a powerful part, but it fizzles out in the way it is executed.Ījay is okay. She doesn’t get much scope beyond that expected cliché. It also means she could kiss the boy and ‘look’ dominating briefly and be ready to reject the boy. Hemal Dev looks decent for a trendy, modern-looking girl. If you like movies belonging to the space, it could be a below-par watch. Overall, Power Play lacks a powerful narrative for the setting and fails to deliver the thrills for the genre. The ending further weakens whatever little moments it has delivered. Still, one feels relief at the point that the whole thing is over. The climax is dragged and taken to the extent of disbelief. Whatever may be the case, the end result is an uninteresting thriller. The lack of actors required for the part could also be a reason for the final output. But, it fails to give the desired result. The entire film depends on it to reach the next level. The second half starts well, briefly holding the attention, but once again, it falters big time when handling the critical block. The whole track involving ‘Detective Narada’, and the interval sequence is a clear cut case of lack of failure in understanding the genre. A mere loud background score can’t camouflage the visibly apparent lack of skill in execution. Amateurishness can be seen through the way the sequences are handles. However, when the thriller narrative begins to gain momentum, the direction fizzles. It is the zone in which the director operates, and he succeeds in that aspect. The helplessness created around a guy as a commoner can be palpably felt. The whole narrative until the take-off is fine. It is not that one can’t attempt different genres, but each one of them requires certain momentum and pacing, which affects the final product if not done well. The lack of experience in making a thriller is visible immediately. He is making a thriller for the first time. It is not just a change of genre for the hero, but also the director. There is a moment towards the ending, which tests his dramatic skills, but the actor is bland.ĭirection by Vijay Kumar Konda ?Vijay Kumar Konda directs Power Play.
