and Sitara. Arjun and his father share a great bond and when their
family’s chief enemy and local politician Byrreddy (Rao Ramesh) attacks
Harishchandra Prasad, Arjun keeps saving his father. Anjali (Kriti
Kharbandha) enters into Arjun’s life and the latter falls for her charm.
Rhea (Nikisha Patel) daughter of Harischandra Prasad’s close friend
Ashok also comes into the picture. Arjun decides to go against his
father wish of marrying Rhea and in this regard he comes to know some
shocking twists that he was betrayed by his own people.
Performances
Kalyan Ram appears in a
simple look and he delivers good performance in action sequences. The
actor has done similar revenge stories earlier and Om gets added to the
list but does nothing for him.
Nikesha Patel opts for glamorous look and oozes oomph into her role sporting a single piece bikini.
Krithi Kharbhanda impresses
in her cute role. Karthik tends to go overboard at times, but leaves a
strong impression though. Suresh is good, Rao Ramesh is decent. Others
like Ahuthi Prasad, Sampath are okay.
Technical Analysis
Cinematography by Ajayan Vincent is
attractive, while editing is inconsistent. Background score elevates the
scenes to an extent. Sunil Reddy’s direction skills are okay but he
could have focused on story and screenplay which failed to impress. VFX
works are poor. 3D shots in the film are good. Production values are
standard.
Analysis
Om is technically a better film and the
3D shots in the movie has come out quite well but why the film has been
made in 3D format in the first place remains as an unanswered question
for this usual revenge drama. The shots don’t add value to the script
rather the needless use of 3D that ends up adding insensitivity and
artificiality.
Apart from the 3D shots and
cinematography along with a couple of twists, nothing impresses in Om.
The story is yet another routine revenge saga with loud and clichéd
sequences. Too many action sequences in the film only lead to confusion.
Each and every conversation between the father and hero son is
interrupted by a fight sequence. The entertainment factor is missing
Director Sunil Reddy has concentrated
more on the 3D shots, and had the director put half the focus on
screenplay, Om could have been a safe project. Though there are a couple
of good twists in the second half, the director fails in taking the
proceedings forward. Despite just 2 hours run time, the film doesn’t
fail to impress.
