Eagle Story
The focal point of Eagle is Sahadeva Varma (Ravi Teja), a man who owns a cotton mill in the thick Talakona forest, but very little is known about him. Nalini (Anupama Parameswaran), an investigative journalist, uncovers some details about Varma’s secret history and finds out that he used to be an assassin working for the government. She also unravels a complex web of conspiracy involving different intelligence agencies.
Eagle Review:
Eagle is a film that tries to push the boundaries of its genre through storytelling when most Telugu action films let actions speak louder than words. Karthik Gattamneni not only directs but also takes charge of cinematography and editing in this movie starring Ravi Teja, which is equally mysterious and energetic.
Eagle has two parts, one slow-burning section where voice-over narration builds up the main character’s enigma and another part full of continuous action sequences meant to make up for pacing issues in the first narrative. As much as it may not grab viewers’ attention from the beginning with attempts at making Ravi Teja’s mystifying figure interesting through non-chronological exposition being daring too much so.
But what about those scenes filled with dangerous moves? Here things are totally different! Every single spectacle was choreographed by Karthik himself showing his utmost care for detail and they could easily become any other feature of this film besides Ravi Teja’s acting. These moments come alive especially during later stages when everything seems perfect that’s when “Eagle” begins flying high!
Sahadeva Varma played by Ravi Teja shows off outstanding performance skills as he delves deep into playing such multifaceted personalities where strength meets weakness head-on just like life itself does sometimes. Anupama Parameswaran, Navdeep Kavya Thapar make good use of their roles within the story line adding various dimensions into what is happening around them. Other cast members include Srinivas Avasarala, Madhoo, Vinay Rai, Srinivas Reddy, Ajay Ghosh, Sivannarayana Naripeddi and Nithin Mehta.
Special mention needs to be made in relation to technical aspects seen throughout Eagle. Gattamneni has done an excellent job not only directing but also providing audiences with visually stunning moments which heighten tension points during this high-octane film experience. Soundtrack by Davzand on occasions tends to overpower emotional beats as well as action-packed scenes although they still remain fitting alongside one another where necessary.
The first part fails short when it comes down towards meeting expectations or even maintaining interest levels mainly because too much reliance was placed upon explaining everything through dialogue rather than showing visually. Also, while there may have been room for improvement when dealing with romantic subplots, unfortunately these did not manage to captivate people’s attention like expected thereby leaving behind a feeling of missed opportunities here and there. Comic relief between Ajay Gosh Srinivas Reddy among others came off good at times but at other junctures fell flat.
Eagle stays true to its name as it takes viewers on a ride filled with suspense, action and mystery that is both ambitious and flawed in equal measure. Although the movie struggles in keeping up a steady pace from start till finish; still Ravi Teja’s performance coupled together with those thrilling moments makes them stand out more than anything else while plugging holes left by other parts too. This reflects how even if sometimes Telugu cinema fails to hit target precisely, yet there is always room for blending traditional narrative devices of action films with new age methods every now and then.
