What Is Bad
- Direction
- Screenplay
- Unneeded Add-ons
- Routine Narration
- Editor
- Second Half and Songs Picturization.
Bottom Line:Current Theega – Low Voltage
Current Teega (Theega) Review - Story
A current Theega start with the serious intro of
Village head Shivarama Raju (Jagapathi Babu), who leads a prestigious
life and can do anything to save his respect. Raju (Manchu Manoj) and
Kishore (Venella Kishore) are running a club and they have no other job
to do. As usual, Raju falls in love with SHivarama Raju’s daughter
Kavitha (Rakul Preet Singh), who is strongly against the idea of love
marriage and what happens after that is to be watched on the big
screens.
Current Teega (Theega) Review - Star Performance
Manchu Manoj seems to repeat the role of Potugadu
but seem to give an excitement to his fans and appears to unique.
Manchu Manoj and Thagubothu Ramesh scenes will surely make every one
laugh and they both have more screen presence than anyother characters.
Rakul Preet Singh has not much scope in this script to show her acting
skills, she is totally sizzling in her introduction scene. Jagapathi
Babu, who appears to be strict father, a respected man in the village
given his best in every scene he came. The episode of stealing the gun
of Jagapathi Babu by Manchu Manoj and Thagubothu Ramesh is total fun.
Sunny Leone’s cameo is nothing new but she looks fresh on screen as a
school teacher. Dubbing is the major issue with her character. Prudhvi,
Shiva Reddy and Jyothi sequences are nicely shot. Dhanraj, Vennela
Kishore, Tanikella Bharini, Raghu Babu, Fish Venkat and Jeeva support
the main leads decently.
Current Teega (Theega) Review - Techinical Team
Current Theega follows the same predictable path
about a playful guy, falls in love with daughter of a marquee person in a
village and the rest of the story is same the other hundred’s of films
released in this format. Thin storyline, predictable screenplay with
unnecessary add-ons (Villain and Fight sequences), but the film is comic
in parts, thanks to the Thagubothu Ramesh & Manchu Manoj punch
lines in the first half. Unfortunately the narrative doesn’t stick to
that predominant story idea. The Narrative in the movie moves in divers’
directions and then come back to the main idea rather like a lost soul
finding himself at long last. And in meantime we are treated to some
heavy-duty melodrama and corny theatrics that went out of fashion a
decade ago.
Frankly, if you ask me it’s a bad idea transposing what worked well in a preponderantly Tamil milieu into a commercial Telugu set-up. Director has to appreciate for mixing political punches and one-liners here and there, which is very much subtle.
The songs (by Achu Rajamani) are more or less riling. Not only they are aesthetically displeasing and deigning, to me as an audience, but the manner in which they break the flow of the story is the most bothering bit of them all. Here you have two songs that can fit that bit. Current Theega also has a decent Background Score. Fights in the film by Ram Sunkara & Thrills by Manchu Manoj are impressive, but situation less inclusion of fights just spoils the effect of the fights. Cinematography by Sathish Mutyala is neat. Editor could have easily reduced the runtime to about 10-15 minutes. Production values of 24 Frames Factory is grand.

Current Teega (Theega) Review - Analysis
An official remake of the Tamil film “Varutha
Padatha Valibar Sangam”, despite its isolated nature, Tamil version
manages to provide concrete entertainment through its bright native
treatment. The major letdown in remake comes mainly from the script work
and the direction. The script with more tongue-tied anxiety than sense,
fails to capture the nature of the original and G Nageswara Reddy
spineless guiding comes across as more concerned with perceived
commercial viability rather than pure story-telling craft.
