Arya 2

Stylish Star Allu Arjun already became a heartthrob to many of the young audiences with his six-pack body and with his stylish performance. Especially the film Arya under the direction of Sukumar earned him a star status among the young generation heroes. After a long gap, the same combination repeated and gossips made rounds that it would be a sequel to Arya and the media circulated the title as Arya-2. As it became popular among the fans and audiences, the unit had confirmed the same as the title, though it is neither a sequel to it nor all the artistes repeated in the cast. However, the names of characters continued in this flick too.

STORY:

Arya (Allu Arjun) is an orphan. He wants to befriend with some one and he decides that the one who stamps on the bubble gum would be his friend. Ajay (Navadeep) steps on it and Arya decides to make him as his best friend. Arya is a typical guy, who could not be understood by any one. All his acts would be very instant and one could not imagine how he would react to certain incidents. At this juncture, a millionaire decide to adopt one boy and they select Arya and Ajay and leave a choice to them to decide who will go. Arya tosses a coin and wins it. However, he says that his victory is his friend’s and tells him to go with the couple.

Arya grows up and his friendship too. Though Ajay could not accept Arya’s friendship, he was forced to accept everything at Arya’s instance. Ajay turns a big software professional and runs a software firm. Arya wants to join the company and Ajay keeps a condition that he would terminate him once if any one of the employees gives a complaint against Arya. So Arya starts behaving like an innocent personality with no bad habits. Even almost all the staff recommend ‘Perfect Employee’ title to him. At this juncture Shanti (Kajal Agarwal) joins the company. Ajay loses his heart at the first sight and Arya, being a typical guy, says when Ajay loves her, it would be a choice for him too. Though Shanti learns about Arya as an innocent, she realizes that he was not such a soft person and is just acting. But nobody believes her. She makes as many attempts to prove it but fails. At one stage Arya himself admits all his qualities in front of all the staff when Shanti agrees to say ‘I Love You’ to Arya. But, Shanti, instead of saying ‘I Love You’ to Arya conveys it to Ajay. In order to strengthen it, Ajay enacts a drama and makes Arya unpopular. So, Shanti further hates Arya.

Here comes the twist that her father is making attempts to get her married to his rival’s son. On learning this, Arya goes to the village in Kurnool and plays another big drama and marries Shanti. But he calls Ajay and decides to unite them. He also makes arrangements to send them to the US. But Shanti’s father comes to know this and stops Ajay from leaving Kurnool. In order to get his friend Ajay, Arya takes the help of the rival factionists and somehow manages to take away Ajay and Shanti with him. After reaching Hyderabad, Ajay changes his plan and tells Shanti that they would leave for Australia instead of US. In the climax, Arya proves how sincerely he honoured the friendship and the love and wins the hearts of Shanti and Ajay.

PLUS:

The major plus point in the film is the performance of Allu Arjun. His excellent dancing skills, perfect comedy timing, superb performance attracted the mass and young audiences and made the spell bound. All the other artistes including Navadeep, Kajal Agarwal, Shraddha Arya, Mukhesh Rushi, Sayaji Shinde also did complete justice to their roles. The director should be complimented for the excellent characterization of the hero, Allu Arjun, as the character runs in different shades with every-changing attitude. The movement of the character is beyond anybody’s imagination. Navadeep is okay in his role, while Kajal once again showed a nice performance. Another highlight of the film is the music by Devisri Prasad. The audio was a runaway hit and remained a chartbuster for a long time. The choreography of all the songs are really a feast to the eyes of audiences. Allu Arjun made several typical and diversified steps during all the songs. Action scenes by Ram and Lakshman are also good and stylish.

MINUS:

The director while concentrating more on the characterization of the hero ignored the length of the film and by the time he realized that it is prolonging, decided to wrap up the film in a huff-huff manner. As a result, the climax appeared to be too cinematic. In order to cover up the mess-up, the director chose to start the film with the climax scene and ended the film from the same point in the climax. But for the poor climax, the film is okay on all fronts. Another big draw back of the film is that Sukumar tried to downplay the factionalism and tried to evoke comedy from it. For hardcore fans of factionalism stories, the film appears to be truly cinematic.

ANALYSIS:

For those who go to watch Allu Arjun film with some expectations, the film would be a true feast. What all one could expect from Allu Arjun’s film could be available in this movie. With the excellent dances and melodious audio, the film would surely be a big hit. The film had all kinds of masala that is needed for a commercial formula film and it would definitely ring the box office and would remain another milestone in Allu Arjun’s career.
