Movie Review: Kamal Haasan finally makes a comeback to Telugu cinema and how! He brings a cop story which is classy and sleek and is adapted pretty decently to the local sensibilities. For the uninitiated, it is a bilingual remake of French film Nuit Blanche (Sleepless Night).
At its core, Cheekati Rajyam is a very ordinary story of a Narcotics Bureau Chief engulfed in a cat and mouse chase with the drug mafia after his only son is kidnapped. Actually, the film is less of a story and more of an incident and the consequences that arise during the subsequent days. This isn't the quintessential concept you come across every Friday. More admirably, it has no elaborate song-dance sequences, syrupy romantic track or gravity defying stunts and mopey emotions.
It is interesting how the narrative doesn't dig deep into building a story for each character or telling us the reason for their behavioural quirks because it is not of importance to what's happening. For instance, Diwakar (Kamal Haasan) and his teenage son Vasu (Aman Abdullah) share a difficult relationship and we don't really know why, but frankly it doesn't matter.
