Rana Naidu Season 2 Review: Rana Daggubatti and Venkateshs second coming is sloppy

Whenever in a film or a series a character promises one last job, a line probably patented by bank robbers, you know how its going to turn out. In the first episode of Rana Naidu season 2, the titular character (Rana Daggubatti) says it to his wife Naina (played by Surveen Chawla). More than anything, I sighed under the weight of the expansive history of predictability of this line. The sophomore season is blotted by such cliches. The villains seemingly ominous whistle precedes his entry. It will be fun working with you, a woman seductively tells our brooding hero. Also, I checked, there are a total of seven seasons of Ray Donovan , the American series from which the Indian version is adapted. So, last job, definitely not. You can stop giving me false hopes, Mr. Naidu. Created by: Karan Anshuman Starring: Rana Daggubati, Venkatesh, Arjun Rampal, Sushant Singh, Abhishek Banerjee, Surveen Chawla, Rajat Kapoor and Kriti Kharbanda Rating: 2 stars Mumbais best fixer is back to the old grind. His wife might be cheating on him, his brothers find new troubles to get into every day, his daughter is dating a rapper and no matter how much he tries, he cant outrun his daddy and his issues. A new opportunity arises itself in the form of an industrialist Viraj Oberoi (played by Rajat Kapoor) and his children warring for his throne. There is also an antagonist in the mix: Arjun Rampal as Rauf Mirza, a Lion Kings Scar-coded gangster who has a score to settle with Rana. There are so many moving parts but the whole machine keeps on clogging. The series takes convenient routes to get out of conundrums. At various instances, the sequence of events can leave you confused, only to be ironed out later with the aid of a flashback. Its afterthought-writing, done probably to milk the popularity of the first season. There are no surprises. Even when things are falling apart around Rana, you know he is going to make it. Some clumsy manoeuvre, like planting evidence (which will of course be shown in a hazy flashback) and he will be the last man laughing. Character developments drown in the sea of the generic. Cases in question are Surveen Chawla as Ranas wife Naina and brothers Tej (Sushant Singh) and Jaffa (Abhishek Banerjee). Naina doesnt get anything more than a short-lived affair to proceed her story. Tej goes to jail but gets out soon enough while Jaffa somehow manages to woo a girl, even when his first move involves looking at her from behind blinds and touching himself. Rampal, even with his thick bambaiya accent, shows promise in the beginning but his antagonist is soon left in the lurch, only waking from his slumber to ambush Rana and his family. You can trust Rajat Kapoor to satisfactorily play a scheming industrialist, full with dapper high necks and shades, holding on to his own in an otherwise crumbling screenplay. Kriti Kharbanda makes her series debut as his ambitious daughter Alia Oberoi, who wants to make a space for herself in an otherwise male-dominated world. A rich girl with father troubles? Perfect partner in crime for Rana. In an otherwise dull palette, Venkatesh as Ranas father Naga Naidu is the real pop. With his Hyderabadi references (You gave me salad, where is the biriyani?) and his penchant to fall into hilarious situations, he is a hoot. While season 1 had the father-son rivalry at its centre, this time Venkateshs Naga is more of a wild card, entering scenarios at his whim. For all the drab seriousness, I enjoyed the flimsy fun Naga provided in the series. I might binge a spin-off. With its second season, Rana Naidu seems to have fallen onto Netflixs factory-line of not-thought-through sequels. It seems to be content being at the surface level, just assembling narratives together, hoping to leave an impact if its lucky. The series dawdles, venturing into pointless subplots, somehow making it to a climax. Its often tough to deliver a satisfactory end, for both filmmakers and reviewers. Towards the end of the eight-episode show, a character shoots himself in the head. Its a low hanging fruit, I know. But for a series like this, it cant get more poetic.

Ballerina Movie Review: Rides high on aggression and panache

There is a flamethrower duelin Ballerina that culminates in a way that could only be described as visual poetry. Anyways. Between a generic prologue and a uncharacteristically tepid ending, the film is burgeoning with infectious energy. Its not when the punches land, knife plunges, or guns fire, that we feel the apparent intensity. It is during the quiet moments when Ana de Armas Eve pauses to catch a breath, tends to her wounds, and fails for the hundredth time to get back again, that we feel the simmering heat of Eves unstoppable will. Her stoic perseverance to go up against seemingly improbable odds acts like an untameable Formula One car as it navigates the dangerous contours and difficult terrains of the progressively developing action set pieces. The result is an unceasing dosage of adrenaline straight to the heart for two hours. Director: Len Wiseman Cast: Ana de Armas, Anjelica Huston, Lance Reddick, Ian McShane, Keanu Reeves Unlike the John Wick films, in Ballerina , we begin with Eves past; her father is ruthlessly hunted down by a mysterious group and she is raised to be an assassin by the rigid ways of the Ruska Roma. However, we do get traces of the John Wick films' DNA, but it is never overpowering. The neon aesthetics, subtle hints at the humungous network of assassins, diligent adherence to rules, and the signature magazine flip gun reload. They serve to accentuate the film rather than remind you of its roots to the mother franchise. The only exception to this rule is when John Wick returns for a second cameo towards the end, which betrays the effortless charm of the first cameo appearance. But by then, you are already invested in Eves story, her unstoppable crusade to avenge her family is replete with creatively designed stunts that brim with childlike glee. The film, however, is not a mindless chain of stunts. Even before the Ruska Roma unleashes Eve into the real world, we see her tenacity building up, her aggression being reinforced to fight IQ, and the philosophy of her character is laid out. This makes up for the lack of emotional depth in the character and anchors our perspective to the protagonist. Eve shows how you dont need to know the entire emotional bandwidth of a character to empathise with them. We understood the laser-like unbending will of John Wick by seeing how he prepared to take down an entire army of assassins to avenge his puppy (Even if its not just a puppy). Here, Eves core personality is revealed not through a training montage or a tattoo reveal. She is practising ballet, fails and raises to perfect her pirouette for the hundredth time, and the stage is stained with her blood. And thats how we know she will stop at nothing, even the Baba Yaga, to get what she wants. Ballerina might have the most gorgeous lighting put to film in recent times. Towards the end, when the story moves to a snowy, hillside landscape, the makers go all out to play with searchlights and the dark of the night, punctuated by gunfire and flamethrower discharge at regular intervals. There are micro-subversions in how every stunt plays out as well. The tension doesnt build or snap when you would typically expect it to, the guns start firing just a second before you think they would and that amps up the adrenaline rush. Every action set piece, and close combat sequences, are choreographed with the grace and precision of a ballet dance and the aggressive intensity of a high-speed car chase. Ballerina tries to pack all its extraordinary stunts into a larger theme, there is an interesting commentary on fate and how choices still shape our road to that inevitability. While it is satisfactorily woven into the story, it is not nearly as interesting as everything else the film has to offer. And whether you enjoy the film or not largely depends on whether or not that is a deal-breaker for you. There is a tedious sequel bait, a passable, functional story to glue everything together, but what Ballerina offers is everything best about the world of John Wick, unblemished, with the added charm of Ana de Armas.
