Analysis:
Anil Ravipudi who
worked for films like Kandireega and Aagadu in the direction department has
turned into a filmmaker with a pucca-commercial potboiler 'Patas'. He made good
use of his years of experience to deliver an out-and-out entertainer which is
racy from the moment go. Taut Screenplay, Good dose of comedy and Heroism
elevating scenes have overcome the drawbacks of choosing a routine and
predictable story.
Sai Kartheek's songs were decent and background score is
pretty good. Cinematography is decent. Dialogues pack a punch. Editing is
crisp. Production Values of NTR Arts are good.
NTR's voice over in the beginning of the movie
appealing people to be careful while driving on roads is a good gesture. Remix
of Balakrishna's Arey O Samba is like a feast for Nandamuri Fans.
Box Office: 'Patas' released in 350-plus screens
Worldwide. Its certain to recover the investment within the first week and
enters profit zone from thereafter. Kalyan Ram will be more than happy as
'Patas' stands as his best work post 'Athanokkade' and Dil Raju who acquired
the distribution rights will have the last laugh.
Verdict: Entertainment Guaranteed!
