Cast: Ram Charan, Amy Jackson, Shruti Haasan, Allu Arjun, Kajal Aggarwal, Rahul Dev, Sai Kumar, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Ajay, Subba Raju, JayasudhaDirection: Vamsi PaidipallyGenre: ActionDuration: 2 hours 46 minutes
Story: Sathya (Allu Arjun) is left fighting for his life after Dheeru Bhai (Rahul Dev) and gang kill his girlfriend Deepth (Kajal). Sathya is saved by a miraculous face transplant surgery and he returns to take his revenge. The face belongs to a guy called Charan (Ram Charan) and his past catches up with Sathya.
Movie Review: What made John Woo's Face Off a great film wasn't just the premise of a face/identity swap. The attention to detail is what made it believable. Sean Archer (John Travolta) has a micro chip implanted in his larynx to make him sound like Castor Troy (Nicolas Cage), and is shown undergoing a slew of corrective plastic surgeries on the rest of his body as well as plot device to get the audience in on it.
The movie is laced with plenty of brilliantly conceived episodes that establish that it's just the bodies that are exchanged and not the personalities. While the biological merit of those purported surgeries could be contested, it reflects the filmmaker's respect for the viewers' intelligence. It's something mana Tollywood filmmakers lack completely.
So when Allu Arjun comes out sounding and behaving like Ram Charan after the 'face transplant' we are supposed to cheer for the star rather than the character he's supposed to be playing.
