Pokiri

(Warning: Spoilers ahead)

Watching Pokiri (telugu) was akin to a ride into a fantasy island. This is a movie with make-believe story and good feeling in the end. The viewer is treated to fantastic action sequences, lame comedy, excellent characters, and wonderful music. The movie starts with Mahesh Babu as a contract killer (or a local rowdy). Finally, the hero sloughs off his real identity, but too late to save his dad.

There is a distinct taste in assigning the outfits for the characters. The comedians adorned capris and piquant dresses. The men, stuntmen and dancers, were given a snazzy outfit: T-shirts worn over full-sleeve shirts. Gone are those days where men used to wear T-shirts underneath full-sleeve shirts. Of course, the women were skimpily dressed and were just treated like trinkets.



Apparently, this movie topped the ratings in Tollywood and is now made again in a different language, Tamil, with different set of actors altogether.
