Joru (2014) Review - Story
Sandeep (Sundeep Kishan) a happy go lucky guy
from Vizag, picks up a fight with local goon leader Bhavani (Ajay). In
the meantime, Anu (Raashi Khanna) returns from America to meet his
father Sadasivam (Shayaji Shinde) after 18 long years. In her way home
from Hyderabad to Vizag, Sandeep meets up with Anu and saves her from
the sudden murder attempt. In this attempt Anu gets to know about
Paramashivam and Bhavani turns out to be son of Sadasivam. Who is
Paramashivam? How will Sandeep keep check point to the attackers? How is
PK (Brahmanandam) related to these issues? Forms the rest of the
storyline.
Joru (2014) Review - Star Performance
Sundeep Kishen is ever ready to play such roles,
comedy being his forte. He does his part well. Raashi Khanna is sweet
and stands out a little from the rest because of the earnestness with
which she plays her character. Priya Banerjee looks pretty, but sadly
has nothing much to do. Sushmaraj is good looking but Joru is not really
a test of her acting skills. Sapthagiri overacts in his parody scenes
and literally frustrates audience as scenes don’t allow him to excel.
Ajay is limited as a baddie. Rest of the characters including Balayya,
Annapurnamma, Prudhvi Raj supported the main league decently.
Joru (2014) Review - Techinical Team
Joru starts off so well that it increases the
average expectations that you have from the movie But about an half an
hour into it, it falls so badly, you wonder if the first half an hour
and the last thirty minutes were directed by same person. Post interval,
there is no left or right, the movie drags and eventually halts at a
dead end. The first half of the film is tolerable, but the second half
goes haywire. The biggest obstacle in Joru is its dated approach. The
entire idea is highly jaded and done to death in the past. Filmmaker
Kumar Nagendra falters completely in creating a major conflict or reason
for everything. Owing to which director gets inspired from Ready and
spoils the dish completely. Even you don’t feel for any character in the
film. And the perky music also helps in navigating the “bedlam” in the
movie a little further. The music is by Bheems and he provides a couple
of hummable tracks. Cinematography of the film is neat, but he should
have limited over usage of close-up and slo-mo shots in the films. The
editing of the film is so choppy and transition from one scene to
another is very abrupt. A little trimming down could have sustained the
pace. The production values of Sri Keerthi Creations are fine.
Joru (2014) Review - Analysis
Joru claiming itself to be a rom-com, the film
neither executes the romance properly or has even a slight dash of
comedy in it. Whatever the barmy gigs that the characters try doing on
screen doesn’t translate funny enough to the audience as a result of
which one sits through the agonizing film, thinking as as a punishment.
On the whole, Joru could have worked well with the masses if it was
released in the 90’s era. In the present times thanks to the many films
one has seen in similar genre, fails to thrill.
