Police Movie Review

Police is the Telugu dubbed version of Tamil Superstar Vijay's Theri. Directed by Atlee, this film is marketed by Dil Raju in Telugu states.

What is it about?
DCP Vijay Kumar (Vijay) kills the son of a politician as he commits a brutal crime. The politician comes back for revenge and kills Vijay's wife (Samantha) and his mother (Radhika). On his wife's last wish Vijay leaves his job and go to Kerala to take care of his daughter. However he couldn't hide for long. The politician comes to know about Vijay's whereabouts and comes back to have his revenge. Vijay has to put an end to this to live a peaceful life.

Performances:
Vijay is very impressive as the cop who does his duty on his own terms. There are quite a few emotional moments in the film where Vijay had to shed tears. He did well. Samantha is good and Amy is alright in a limited role. Radhika is natural. Prabhu is decent. Rajendran is funny at times. Mahendran's expressions are menacing.

Technicalities:
Atlee banked upon an age old script which turned out to be biggest drawback for this film. There are few moments where we get to see the flashes of brilliance from Atlee but the film falls flat on a whole.

Songs are not good. Background score is good in emotional scenes and over the top in action sequences. Cinematography is good. Editing could have been a lot better.

Thumbs Up:
Interval scene

Baby Nainika

Thumbs Down:
Routine Story

Uninteresting screenplay

Predictable

Poor Climax

Lengthy

Analysis:
Police is a formulaic film with revenge template. You can almost guess everything beforehand. There is no novelty in terms of any element in the film. Even the daughter and father relation reminds us of Ajith Kumar, Gautham Menon's Yenthavadu Gani. Everything about the film is cliched and beaten to death.

Interval block is pretty impressive. The movie totally goes off track after the death of Samantha character. Climax portions are outright silly. The run time of the film will put your patience to test. You will literally pray for the titles to rollover or simply walk out of it. Police is a boring revenge drama that has high doses of emotion.

Director wasted a lot of time on buildup shots and hero elevations that he had to fast forward the plot during the final scenes. This film may appeal to Vijay fans as the director has penned few scenes exclusively for them. There is nothing special about the film except for adorable baby Nainika's performance.

Verdict: This Police lacks Fizz.
