Dhamaka review: An out-and-out commercial entertainer from Ravi Teja

Mass Maharaj Ravi Teja’s Dhamaka, in which he teamed up with glamorous Sreeleela, hit the theatres on Friday, 23 December.

Directed by Trinadha Rao Nakkina, the movie has been publicised as a pucca commercial entertainer. Read our review to find out whether it lived up to the buzz:

Swamy (Ravi Teja) is a daring middle-class youth who is making efforts to get a job. He happens to bump into Pranavi (Sreeleela) while a bunch of goons was abusing her. He saves her and a love story follows.

On the other hand, Anand (Ravi Teja in a dual role) is all set to take over as the CEO of People Mart, a billion-dollar business conglomerate.

Anand’s father Chakravarthy (Sachin Khedekar), a reputed businessman, built People Mart through years of hard work without compromising on values.

But trouble erupts when JP (Jayaram), a notorious and unscrupulous businessman, eyes People Mart and goes all out to acquire it by threatening Chakravarthy.

What is the relationship between Swamy and Anand? Does Anand succeed in saving People Mart from JP? Watch Dhamaka on the big screen to find the answers.

Entertaining narration and mass elements

Dhamaka’s story consists of pucca mass elements that are aimed to entertain people from all walks of life. Director Trinadha Rao topped it up with an amusing narration.

Barring action sequences, almost all the scenes have been shot entertainingly and evoke laughs. This makes Dhamaka an out-and-out Ravi Teja film.

It has been a long time since the actor came up with this kind of comedy and Dhamaka is worth all the wait!

Ravi Teja is back

Ravi Teja has been struggling at the box office for some time now. His films have been missing the entertainment quotient that most of his movies usually carry.

But Dhamaka makes up for it all. It brings the energetic and entertaining Ravi Teja back to action and his form.

Sreeleela, who is of late emerging as a star heroine in Tollywood, is simply superb in her role. She steals the show as the love interest of Ravi Teja.

She also impresses the viewers with her energy and grace in the songs. Going by her performance in Dhamaka, she may soon rise to stardom in the industry.

Several senior actors like Tanikella Bharani, Sachin Khedekar, Rao Ramesh, and Tulasi play important roles.

Rao Ramesh and Hyper Adi’s comedy stands out. The comedy song featuring Rao Ramesh and Ravi Teja is a good experiment.

Bheems Ceciroleo deserves credit

Bheems Ceciroleo composed the soundtrack and background score for Dhamaka.

He deserves credit for keeping the movie racy. “Danda Kadiyal”, “Ninnu Chudabuddhi Avuntndi”, and “Pulsar Bike” songs are turning out to be foot-tapping numbers.

Cinematographer Karthik Ghattamaneni ensured that the movie looks rich and stylish.

Pravin Pudi’s editing is okay.

Final take

It has been a long time since Ravi Teja came up with a quintessential commercial entertainer. Dhamaka puts an end to that wait!
