STORY
Combo of police and goon, DCP Rudra (Sanjay Dutt) is a menace for wrong doers. Coming across as superhero, watch him clean off Nagarpura and take on local goon Nagori (Prakash Raj) with an effective blend of rowdyism and kind heartedness.His sensitive side is unleashed when he falls in love with the ravishing Seher (Prachi Desai). Translating himself as a messiah for the panic stricken localites, his unique combo way of tackling crime is what pulls off the stellar show in the film.So is Rudra successful in eradicating crime off his area or he too falls prey to the corrupt manners of Nagori? Policegiri answers all these questions and wraps up climactically!
STARCACT
Sanjay Dutt delivers Rudra with ground breaking thrill. For him alone, Policegiri shines and his screen power camouflages the details wonderfully. Prachi Desai is an apt eye candy and is smooth in her stint.
Prakash Raj is a mere caricature of his Southern version as the eye bulging villain but doesn’t manage to command much power or fear! He indeed is capable of much better and roles like these doesn’t qualify apt for him.
Direction / Music / Lyrics /Editing / Camera:
Using the vintage formula, the director K. S. Ravikumar fails to enthuse much finesse into his film. An all-in-all entertainer that it tries to be ends up being incorrigible and bizarre at places. Sadly the punches of the film are mostly dull and remain unmemorable. I won’t call it boring because it undeniably amuses you frequently but entertainment wise the film falls short.
In the unsubtle demeanor, the film’s unconvincing climax stays flat mostly! It is not atrocious just mediocre and that’s the problem. The music is tacky and the screenplay is uninteresting!
