                                            The Tamil hit ‘Vettai’ has now arrived in a remake mode and it is a crucial one for Naga Chaitanya as he needs a desperate hit. Let us see how successful he is this time. Story Sivaramakrishna (Sunil) and Karthik (Chaitu) are brothers. But there is a lot of difference intheir characters. Karthik is very fast and courageous but Siva is more soft-spoken and chicken hearted. Due to their father’s demise, Siva gets the job and he is posted to the area where Bagga (Ashutosh Rana) a notorious smuggler rules. Siva solves all difficult cases with the help of Karthik and becomes a hero. But Bagga discovers the truth and plans to kill Siva. Whatdoes Karthik do to stop this and how Siva changes forms the rest of the story. Performances Naga Chaitanya who has been doing lover boy roles came up with an action role and this time he corrected many of his mistakes and performed well. Still, he needs to work on his diction especially in delivering lengthy dialogues. Sunil did a role of becoming a hero from zero. His performanceis impressive. The final momentsof the film showed good performer in him. At one point, he has become the hero. Tamannaah was almost restricted to songs and providing the hot visual feast with her milky skin. She was literally absent during the second half. Same is the case with Andrea who was more sensuous than sexy. But she tried to make her presence felt wherever possible. Ashutosh Rana did an excellent job as a villain. He should get more opportunities in Tollywood after watching this performance. Brahmi’s comedy was stale, it only increased the film’s length. Vennela Kishore was apt, Srinivasa Reddy’s punch lines were good, Raghu Babu, Ramaprabha were good.
