Story
Surya (Naga Chaitanya) turns orphan with
his parents being killed by a goon Kotilingam in a train journey.
Though initially he stays with his uncle Bharani (Sai Kumar), he later
turns an ambitious auto mechanic. With his rebellious attitude, Surya
ends up in jail on killing a goon, going against system. When he comes
back, he realizes that the autonagar area has been in the hands of Indra
(Jayaprakash Reddy) and Mayor Kotilingam who are illegally minting
money from the hard-earned people. How Surya goes against them and frees
Autonagar people from mafia hands forms the rest.
Performances
Naga Chaitanya has done
a full-length mass role and he has delivered a decent performance
uttering lengthy dialogues. He is very impressive in the pre-interval
block and union scenes.
Samantha is beautiful and performed well in her limited roles. Scenes between Naga Chaitanya and her are good.
Nandu is apt for the
role and Madhu is impressive. Sai Kumar is good while Jaya Prakash Reddy
and Ajay were decent. Bramhanandam and Venu madhav are wasted in poor
roles.
Technical Analysis
Anup Rubens musical scores are just okay
while the background score could have been better. Cinematography is
pretty ordinary. Deva Katta penned dialogues are impressive though few
of them are lengthy. Screenplay is gripping in the first half while
turns predictable in later hour. Editing is inconsistent. Production
values are standard.
Analysis
Autonagar Surya being Devakatta
directorial had quite good expectations and the trailers and the
dialogues have raised them more. Like his previous films, Autonagar
Surya has also a revenge backdrop theme with intense plotline but the
execution is clichéd with inconsistent screenplay. The film sure has its
engaging moments with well-written pre-interval episodes, climax and
the first hour is gripping.
The hero characterization and his
rebellious attitude are impressive but the revenge aspect doesn’t look
strong enough until climax scenes, while the second half is handled in a
weakly. Audiences end up tired due to its run length, unnecessary songs
and much violence. Autonagar Surya struggles with its slow pace
throughout and the comedy or the songs fails to provide relief. Despite
some very good dialogues and well-executed pre-interval episodes, it
falls short of expectations due to its wafer thin story, weak comedy and
the excessive run-length.
Final Verdict
Autonagar Surya- Gripping First Half, Boring Second Half!!!
