Performances
Naga Chaitanya has
showed quite a lot of improvement and this time he does his role with
much ease and subtle expressions. He is stylish and impressive in the
action episodes and romantic scenes.
Sunil is perfect fit
for the role of cop who later transforms into powerful cop with the
support of his brother. His comic timing works in the first half and at
the same time he does well in the fight scenes in the latter half.
Tamanna oozes oomph and
sizzles in her glamorous role. She doesn’t have much to do performance
wise but makes her presence felt. However, she shares a good chemistry
with Chaitanya and their combo scenes are a visual treat.
Andrea Jeremiah is good
looking and does her role well. Ashutosh Rana as dreadful villain is
impressive, Srinivas Reddy, Jaya Prakash Reddy and Brahmanandam are
there to bring few laughs.
Technical Analysis
Cinematography by Arthur Wilson is
first-class and the film looked quite colorful, Thaman’s music is good
and the background score has required essence. Dolly (Kishore Kumar
Pardasani) direction is good while the screenplay is taut packed with
racy entertainment. Editing is crisp and neat. Production values of Sri
Sai Ganesh Productions are standard.
Analysis
Tadakha being the remake of Vettai
follows the same script and screenplay without many changes. Both Sunil
and Naga Chaitanya have equally good and challenging roles and they have
done quite well. The first half of the film is racy and entertaining
while the second half lacks the pace at times. The comedy could have
been high in the second half as well. Scenes between the Naga Chaitanya
and Tamanna are entertaining likewise the emotional bonding between the
two brothers have been captured nicely. Climax is effective and had the
solid punch.
Thadaka has all the right commercial
elements including action, humor, romance, glamour with good technical
values, also sticks to the Telugu audiences nativity factor. The film
has all the needed elements to set the cash registers ringing at the
Box-Office.
