Naa Peru Surya / Actors / Release date / Producer
Surya (Allu Arjun), a soldier, has his moment of reckoning well into the later portions of the movie. An elderly man is grieving a personal loss and a young cop investigating the incident calls Surya because he is the only possible witness. We know it even before the camera zooms in on Surya that he knows the truth. But, he’s in a Catch 22 situation. He can stand up for what is right and risk losing a long cherished dream that now appears closer, or turn a blind eye and walk towards his goal.
In the moments that follow, Allu Arjun owns the frames where he makes his inner turmoil evident. Watching him, we wonder what writer-director Vakkantham Vamsi could have done with this actor in a much better film. As it is, Naa Peru Surya… is an overdrawn, noisy saga.
It had the scope to be a coming-of-age story of a soldier. It could have also been a psychological drama of personal conflicts — between Surya and his estranged dad, and more importantly, a fight against his own shortcomings. But when the film begins with a police officer recollecting, almost in awe, how this one man thrashed a big group to pulp, we know it’s primarily a film catering to the star’s large fan base, and the storyline is buried somewhere deep.
