Akash Puri, who is trying his best to become a hero, has now come forward with the movie ‘Chor Bazaar‘ directed by ‘George Reddy’ fame Jeevan Reddy. In addition to the songs, the recently released trailer signals that there is something in the film. Although father Puri Jagannath did not come to bless his son for the pre-release event, mother Lavanya came. The movie ‘Chor Bazaar’ along with Akash also made headlines after Bandla Ganesh said the same thing in his speech. How is it that the movie was released in such an atmosphere …
Story
The film revolves around a place called Chor Bazaar near Charminar in Hyderabad. There, the Bachchan Saab (Akash Puri) gang makes a living by committing petty thefts. Once from the State Museum, the Nizam Nawabs received A diamond worth Rs. 200 crore disappears. The Home Minister (Sunil) orders the police department to put it in place and put it back in the exhibition which will take place in another month. Bachchan, a childhood friend, and mutineer Simreen (Gehenna Sippy) fall in love with each other.
Simran is unaware that Bachchan is committing thefts. The missing diamond from the museum is found by a buddy in the Bachchan gang in the Bazaar. But everyone thinks of it as something ordinary stone. An international criminal, Charlie Gang, on the one hand, and the police, on the other, are searching for the diamond that reached Chor Bazaar. Who finally got that diamond? Bachchan, is Simran’s love happy, or not? The rest of the story is known.
Analysis
Director Jeevan Reddy presented ‘Chor Bazaar’ with a drama revolving around a diamond on the one hand and a bachelorette love story on the other. Diamond’s drama turned into a rhyme and annoyance as the screenplay went awry. Bachchan-Simran’s love story is heart-touching.. that is not it. All 60 families in Chor Bazaar are still alive after committing thefts.
Stealing from pocket purses to car tires and selling stolen goods at a low rate. But they are not the only thieves. The director portrayed them as having no more profit than those lost by their thefts. Chor Bazaar is not wrong in trying to show them in a humane sense. But shouldn’t it be impressively sweet! The director failed in that regard.
The whole movie is a bit confusing, with a lot of noise pollution, except for a few flashbacks and a few dialogues from the beginning of the movie to the end. The director was confused as to how to decipher the Bachchan Saab characterization. The pre-climax court scene is a mockery of Sean O’Brien’s speech by Bachchan about the Chor Bazaar men. The big minus for this film is that we do not sympathize with his character.
There is a possibility that the role of Bachchan’s mother Baby (Archana) is actually very well crafted. Her flashback episode, which was supposed to give an emotional feel, appeared to be a comedy. Simran’s character is somewhat well portrayed by the director. No matter how many people the Home Minister discusses, it’s unnatural that the diamond was stolen from the museum. If even the characters intended for comedy fail to do that… it’s the director’s fault!
The dialogues are impressive in some scenes. The music given by Suresh Bobbili for the songs is good, except for one item song. Even the filming of that song is not impressive at all. If the background score is good in some scenes, there is sound pollution in most scenes. Jagdish’s dark cinematography is colorful. If the editing was soso, the fights didn’t seem fair. Gandhi Nadikudikar’s artwork is good in Chor Bazaar.
Performance
Akash Puri played the role of Bachchan Saab. He understood the depth of the character and acted. Compared to previous films, he has matured in gestures. Excelled in emotional scenes. Voice is a big asset to him. In a good story, if he gets a good character… I can say that he will take a career turn. Yesterday’s heroine Archana excelled in the role of Bachchan’s mother-baby.
She’s crooked to the dance! Geena Sippy impresses as a dumb Simran. Sunil as Home Minister, Subbaraju as Gabber trying to shut down Chor Bazaar, and Sampurnesh Babu as Gangster Manja did justice to their roles. Zabardast comedians like Nalla Venu, Rachcha Ravi, Emmanuel, and Yadamma Raju have done their job. Lakshman Meesala appeared in a dual role as a prolific lawyer.
Jeevan Reddy who made the movie ‘George Reddy’ is very different from Jeevan Reddy who made the movie ‘Chor Bazaar’. The film manages to entertain as well as inform, with a lot of sound pollution in the film. Watching ‘Chor Bazaar’ till the end is like a test of patience.
