Zamaana is the second film for Jackie Shroff in Kannada.Youngster Shankar Aditya has chosen an old subject but with an impressive narration to make it an interesting fare.The star cast,though fresh faces,have brought freshness to the film,which is a package of thrilling stunts,power-packed dialogue and teenage romance.
The movie is about a techie-turned rowdy who is out to settle scores with the murderers of his brother, a full-time politician. The lead (Nitish) is just like any techie whose life turns upside down after his brother is murdered over a land deal. An upset Nitish embarks on a mission to track down the culprits and eliminate them. At the same time, a super cop (Jackie Shroff) enters the scene to put the culprits behind the bars. The rest of the film is a race between the two to nail the culprits.
It turns out to be exciting with curious twists and turns to the plot. The director has been successful in holding the attention of the viewers till the end. Though there are several loose ends to the story, they are overshadowed by the towering performance of Jackie Shroff. The star actor’s performance is the highlight of the movie.
The director has tried to portray reality in the movie by avoiding unnecessary glorification of rowdyism or the super cop image. Though the movie does not feature top Kannada artistes, it emerges as a clean entertainer.
Debutants Nitish and Aakarsha impress with their mature acting skills. Aakarsha in particular does not give an impression that this is her first film. There is plenty of comic relief in the movie with Sadhu Kokila delivering his trademark dialogues. The rest of the star cast lends support to the lead actors.
Music by Karthik Raja is another highlight. The background score is imposing, something different when compared with similar Kannada movies.
Verdict: Above Average – moviefilm.in Rating : 3/5
