Review : LIE- Good script with average execution

Telugu Box Office
 [review]

The makers of LIE have invested a lot of money on Nithin who is high after the super successful A.Aa. The action thriller has hit the screens today and has debutante Megha Akash as the female lead. Read on to see what sort of fun has Nithin in store for us. 

Story:

Satyam(Nithin) is a happy go lucky youth from Hyderabad whose only dream is to earn huge money. For this, he plans to head to the US and marry an NRI and settle down in life. His dream is made true with the help of Megha Akash who also accompanies him abroad. But to Satyam’s bad luck, both he and Megha get locked in the deadly conspiracy of a criminal called Padmanabhan played by Arjun. What is this chaos all about and what is the LIE all about?

 
Cast & Performances :
The film is completely Arjun’s show to the last scene. Even though Nithin is the hero, Arjun’s bad guy role is what will impress you right away. His looks, mannerisms, and different get ups are to die for in the film. Debutante Megha Akash looks below average and does not bring any eye candy to the film. Finally, Nithin looks handsome and does his role to the T. He has developed his dialogue delivery and is now at ease in front of the camera. Hero’s friend Madhu irritates you to no extent.
 
Technical Department:-
 
For the first time, director Hanu Raghavapudi has come up with a heavy subject and his plot is very good. But the man faltered in the way he narrated the film as many things go wrong. Firstly, the run time of the film is quite high which it should not be for a thriller. Then the heroine and hero’s love track is outright silly and does not evoke any romance. Background score is very good by Mani Sharma and the film also looks very rich in scale. The hero-villains track is good but the rest becomes boring and predictable at times.
 
Highlights:-
  • Arjun
  • Rich Visuals
 
Minus Points:-
  • Lack of Emotions
  • Over the top scenes
  • Lag in narration
