Strictly for action movie lovers. No strong story line. Screenplay was good. Cinematography is nice. Nagarjuna’s show from beginning to end. Simran and Anikha gets crucial roles but doesn’t create the emotional impact. Action scenes are top notch. If you are an action movie lover, give this a try. For others, one time watchable..

The Ghost movie review: Some never-seen-before slick action makes this predictable Nagarjuna-starrer engaging watch

The ghost movie review: nagarjuna's action thriller has a predictable plot but is salvaged by some never-seen-before action sequences and the actor's charisma..

Filmmaker Praveen Sattaru truly established himself as a filmmaker with great action sensibilities when he made PSV Garuda Vega a few years ago. The film gave a new lease of life to yesteryear star Rajasekhar, who turned out to be a revelation in a project that truly felt international in spite of its limited budget. With his latest outing, The Ghost, Sattaru pushes the boundaries to present a slick action-thriller that’s largely engaging, despite a very predictable plot. If not for anything, you could just watch the film to see how handsome Nagarjuna looks while wielding the Yakuza sword. It’s a sight to cherish. Also read: GodFather movie review: Chiranjeevi's charisma makes this thriller enjoyable

The Ghost movie review: Nagarjuna shines in this ultra-violent action thriller.

Nagarjuna plays Vikram, a former Interpol agent with anger issues. When his recklessness ends up costing the life of a young boy on a rescue mission in Dubai, the guilt eats him up and he decides to fix it by taking on the underworld. The story quickly cuts to five years later and we are introduced to Vikram’s sister Anu ( Gul Panag ), who reaches out to him after 20 years. The call takes him to Ooty where the siblings put their bitter past behind them. Anu informs Vikram about the life threats she’s been receiving and she doesn’t want anything to happen to her daughter. As Vikram takes charge of protecting the family, he crosses paths with some men from his past in Dubai. What happened five years ago in Dubai when Vikram swore to clean up the underworld and why he’s called The Ghost forms the crux of the story.

The Ghost delivers what the promos promised, which is slick action with a lot of bloodshed. The attempt to make an ultraviolent action film without dumbing down its impact for the masses deserves special praise. Sattaru takes a very predictable plot and shifts all his focus on delivering solid action stretches. The film takes its own time to take-off, quite literally, but the pay-off is worth the wait. The film does take inspiration from Hollywood blockbusters like Taken and John Wick but never tries to mimic what these films achieved in terms of action.

Nagarjuna is cool as a cucumber in the role of a former agent turned mean killing machine. He uses his charisma effortlessly to make every frame look stylish on screen. Sonal Chauhan gets a meaty part and has quite a few scenes where she gets to flaunt her action skills. The film works to a large extent because it presents action like never seen before in Telugu cinema. The climactic fight in a church with a yakuza sword and a Gatling gun is easily the film’s biggest highlight that’s worth every buck.

Director: Praveen Sattaru

Cast: Nagarjuna, Sonal Chauhan, Anikha Surendran, and Gul Panag.

The Ghost Review: Nothing To Boast

The Ghost Review: Nothing To Boast

Movie: The Ghost Rating: 2/5 Banner: Sree Venkateswara Cinemas LLP Cast: Nagarjuna, Sonal Chauhan, Gul Panag, Anikha Surendran, Manish Chaudhari, Ravi Varma, Srikanth Iyengar, Bilal Hossein and others  Music: Bharatt-Saurabh, Mark K Robin Director of Photography: Mukesh G Editor: Dharmendra kakarala Action: Dinesh Subbarayan, Kecha Producers: Suniel Narang, Puskur Ram Mohan Rao, Sharrath Marar Written and directed by: Praveen Sattaru Release Date: October 5, 2022

Nagarjuna Akkineni and director Praveen Sattaru have teamed up for the first time. The film’s trailer and teasers created a lot of interest.

Let’s find out its merits and demerits.

Story: After a failed mission, Interpol officers Vikram (Nagarjuna) and Priya (Sonal Chauhan) part ways. They also break up their relationship. Vikram also quits his job.

Five years later, he gets a call from his estranged sister Anu (Gul Panag). He heads to Ooty and finds that his sister and his niece (Anikha Surendran) are under threat. 

Vikram agrees to stay there and protect them. Anu is a chairperson of a huge business empire. Another company is trying to take over Anu’s company. Despite his efforts, Anu gets killed in an attack.

Will Vikram protect his niece safely? 

Artistes’ Performances: For senior Nagarjuna, the role is a cakewalk. He has done such roles in the past. All he does in the film is wields swords, blast ammunition, and indulge in shootouts.

Sonal Chauhan appears as an Interpol officer. She does some decent action stunts. Gul Panag plays a typical sister’s role.

Anikha Surendran plays the role of rich brat convincingly. 

Technical Excellence: Mukesh’s cinematography is terrific. More than anyone else, the stunt masters have more work to do in the film, and they excel in their jobs. The background score is apt. Editing lacks sharpness as the lengthy action episodes go on and on. 

Highlights: Initial portions One or two action sequences

Drawback: Clichéd story Dated and artificial sentiment     Series of fights Mindless climax sequence

Analysis We all know that story takes a backseat in action dramas. But when the wafer-thin plot serves as an excuse to flip one action sequence to another, it feels dated. “The Ghost” is one such example. 

Praveen Sattaru who won the name for his slick execution of “PSV Garuda Vega '' wrote a one paragraph story. An Interpol officer who quit the job gets a personal assignment of saving his sister from the enemies. Praveen Sattaru has not developed any worth talking about moments other than this one-line story and filled it with a series of action stunts. 

One action sequence is set in a desert, the other on the busy city roads and the next one in a hill station. Another one is in a house. The next one is in another place. The locations change, and the scenes change, but the crux remains the same: a fight scene. 

No film in recent times has come with a series of action stunts with little to no story. Furthermore, given all the hype around threats that the hero’s sister faces, we expect a strong antagonist who might prove to be more than a match to the hero Nagarjuna, but what we get is a cardboard villain character.

To be fair, the first half of the film at least has some reasoning as it focuses on Nagarjuna’s Interpol days and a brief flashback about his family. The second half is a mess. The climax is excruciatingly bad. 

By adding “KGF”-like machine gun sequences and Kamal Haasan’s Vikram-like fight scenes, Praveen Sattaru has spoiled it further. For a film that also talks about sister and niece, the sentiment scenes are superficial. 

The blame entirely lies on Praveen Sattaru. It is his lame writing that is the villain. 

On the whole, “The Ghost” is another senseless action drama with no effective storytelling. 

Bottom Line:  Frightens the audience

Last Updated: 04.21 PM, Sep 29, 2022

Tollywood movie lovers are looking forward to the big ticket film releases that are set to hit the screens, Chiranjeevi's Godfather and Nagarjuna's The Ghost. The former, a political thriller, is the remake of Mollywood movie Lucifer, while the latter is an action thriller helmed by Praveen Sattaru.

The film has managed to garner good hype, thanks to its action-packed trailer, unique making style and stylish stills featuring Nag. The project is now set for a simultaneous release in Tamil as well. The dubbed version of the film has been titled Ratchan. 

There are reports that leading production house Dream Warrior Pictures which has bankrolled many interesting projects and a few hit films has bagged distribution rights of the Telugu movie. However, they are yet to announce the collaboration officially. The production house previously presented KGF 2 in Tamil Nadu, and the rest is history.

Ratchan has Sonal Chauhan, Gul Panag and Anikha Surendran among others, too, in important roles. The action scenes choreographed by Dinesh Subbarayan and Kecha Khamphadkee are said to be prime highlights of the film which has been produced by Suniel Narang, Puskur Ram Mohan Rao and Sharrath Marar under Sri Venkateswara Cinemas and North Star Entertainment.  

The film is Nagarjuna's third outing this year after Bangarraju and Brahmastra. The veteran actor-producer is currently hosting Bigg Boss Telugu 6 as well. It's been a while since his film has been dubbed into Tamil. The last time his movie had a simultaneous release in Kollywood was in 2016. 

Thozha (Oopiri in Telugu), directed by Vamshi Paidipally, was a hit in both the languages. A decade ago, Radha Mohan's Payanam (Gaganam in Telugu), also turned out to be a notable entertainer.

Ghost movie review: Shivarajkumar excels in a gripping heist drama

Ghost movie review: directed by mg srinivas, the shivarajkumar movie will keep you on the edge of your seat..

rakshan the ghost movie review in tamil

When we think of heist films, we often picture a group of individuals taking over a location for financial gain or other pecuniary reward. But what if there’s a heist film where the criminals use fake bullets, and their sole motivation is justice? Shivarajkumar’s latest movie is an absolute thrill ride, and it stays ahead of you at every twist and turn. It’s a mystery-packed ride from start to finish, keeping you intrigued and guessing throughout.

This movie takes a unique approach to the heist genre. The director MG Srinivas’s vision is clear: to keep the audience fully engaged in the meticulous planning and plotting of the heist without distractions. There are no songs, romantic subplots, or love stories. Even emotional moments and dramatic scenes are saved for the end. This approach works in the director’s favor, as it allows the audience to become fully immersed in the movie, constantly thinking what will happen next.

rakshan the ghost movie review in tamil

Ghost kicks off with an inauguration ceremony in a prison tower, where they’re celebrating the passing of a bill to privatise a prison in the city. However, as the story unfolds, we find out the decision is driven by greed. In a unique twist, this heist isn’t targeting a bank or an educational institution; it’s all about stealing from the prison itself, with no demands made to the government. The heist becomes a real conundrum for the criminals, as they find themselves needing to locate the very thing they came to steal.

The mastermind behind the heist, referred to as Ghost and played by Shivarajkumar, sets on a mysterious mission whose true purpose is only revealed in the last 20 minutes of the film. He seizes control of the prison on the day of inauguration, infiltrates it with his team, but during the process, his primary target, Vaaman, gets shot. To protect Vaaman and ensure his survival, Ghost must fend off the outside forces led by Jayaram.

The rapport between Jayaram, who essays the role of Chengappa, and Shivarajkumar is an interesting aspect of the film, especially when they engage in their cat-and-mouse game as a cop and criminal, respectively. In a surprise twist, Jayaram realises that the person impersonating Ghost was someone he had killed years ago. What unfolds next is a series of flashbacks and a glimpse into the world of Dalavayi gang, who previously killed the chief minister and his son. 

Festive offer

The revenge plot is skillfully executed, but it keeps you constantly thinking, trying to piece together what happened just a few minutes ago. The story is brimming with subplots and involves a lot of characters. In the end, the movie offers a triple dose of entertainment, and it showcases Shivanna in his element and the film promises a lot of action and high-octane sequences.

The scenes and plans for their escape towards the end are carefully designed, although it feels like the director attempted to fit too many ideas into a single scene. Ghost’s storyline contains multiple subplots, while Shivarajkumar delivers several slow-motion walks, swagger moments, action sequences, and a multitude of crowd-pleasing dialogues for his fans. As the film nears its conclusion, a fresh twist emerges, altering the course of the story.

Anupam Kher ’s entry sheds light on the real mastermind behind the heist. Nevertheless, once Anupam’s role is revealed, it would have been satisfying to understand his involvement in the heist, considering he plays a crucial part in the entire story. The time he spends on screen doesn’t quite match his importance.

In summary, a man with a quest for justice enters the prison, assuming the identity of a powerful figure who is believed to be dead. Opening this chapter unveils entirely new narratives, and this is where the movie leaves off, hinting that the story of Dalavayi is far from over.

Ghost movie cast: Shivarajkumar, Jayaram, Anupam Kher, Prashant Narayanan, Satya Prakash, and Archana Jois.

Ghost movie director: MG Srinivas
