Performances
Mohan Babu played a powerful role and he
steals the show with his immense screen presence. He carries of the
intensity of the role with ease.
Vishnu Manchu supports Mohan Babu well
and he delivers a neat performance. Shanvi looks beautiful, Jayasudha is
convincing in a natural role. Tanikella Bharani irritates in poor role
while Parachuri Gopala Krishna is okay.
Technical Analysis
Cinematography is neat and the songs are
good. Sai Karthik’s background score elevates the scenes well.
Dialogues are good. Ram Gopal Varma’s direction is okay. Screenplay is
racy though predictable. Editing is crisp with 121 minutes runtime.
Production Values are standard.
Analysis
Rowdy is the adaptation of Godfather,
RGV’s own Sarkar and Sarkar Raj movies and if you have seen the films,
the suspense elements are highly predictable. However, Mohan Babu steals
the show with his powerful performances and the scenes featuring him
are shaped up well. Action scenes of the movie have been well-shot and
the interval-block is entertaining. The run time turns asset for the
movie with out much dragged scenes. However, the comedy or mass
commercial elements are limited. Other than the lead characters good
performances, Rowdy offers nothing news in terms of story.
Final Verdict
Mohan Babu steals the show despite Rowdy is a rehash of RGV’s Sarkar and Sarkar Raj!!!
