The blockbuster Tamil director of the 2000's is back with an out and out Telugu action film. He already has blockbuster action hits like Sandakozhi and Run to his credit. Let's see if his latest The Warriorr too joins this list. The film does have all the ingredients which are required for mass commercial film, a police hero, a fierce opponent and a cute heroine.
Playing a police character is a dream for every hero. It is often considered as the stepping stone towards becoming a mass hero. After Ismart Shankar, The Warriorr is a very smart choice by Ram Pothineni. He is all energy from start to finish and carries the film on his shoulders.
Krithi Shetty gets to play her own version of the pretty heroine in an action film. To her credit she remains a gorgeous diversion especially in the songs.
Aadhi Pinisetty is menacing as Guru. Right from the looks to the way the character behaves, Aadhi nails the part. Aadhi sincerity elevates the face-off between the two main leads. For a hero to win you need a convincing villain. Aadhi is not just convincing, he is excellent in his part.
DSP's music was already a plus for the movie even before the release. The bullet song became a trending blockbuster. The other songs are in sync with the mood of the film. DSP truly shows his might in elevating a movie with his BGM.
Action sequences are the heartbeat of police films. In The Warriorr the action truly gives an adrenaline rush and makes us root for the hero.
This is Lingusamy's comeback after a brief hiatus and he has chosen the Telugu heartland to tell his story. He almost pulls off a near good comeback making an action commercial film with the Telugu audiences in mind.
The film is not without its flaws. The familiar story of good versus evil has been done N number of times. So, the screenplay becomes predictable after a while. The out of place comedy track doesn't help either. Despite these flaws The Warriorr is a fairly watchable rollercoaster ride. Overall The Warriorr is an out and out Ram Pothineni show.
