MovieReview
This time Megastar changed the gear though riding to same destination, Tagore is a very good message oriented movie with proper commercial ingrediants. Chiranjeevi’s introduction (Titles) got good applause from audience which is different from earlier movies.
His dance in kodithe kottali song is on par with his best which includes the famous sixer step and a continuous dance bit for 30 seconds.
Coming to the story..Tagore is a professor at a college who forms a group with students whose aim is to demolish the corruption in society, and in this process he chooses the targeted corrupt set of people and kills the top most corrupt among them.
This fear of death effectively controls corruption throughout the state.
One day, he bashesup few goons who try to close their college during exams. Later he saves shriya, who claims to be a social worker from them.
Shriya gets close to him and his kids. She enquires about his kids and finds that all of them are orphans and chiru is giving shelter to them.
After a couple of songs chinnaga chinnaga and vaanochenante, chiru takes one of his kids to a super speciality hospital and is billed heavily for a minor injury.
Frustrated chiru comesback with a masterplan and uses a deadbody to cheat the entire hospital staff. Later he claims for money for treating a deadbody.
Hospital is closed and unable to bear this insult, the hospital MD commits suicide.
Enters the villain, Sayaji Shinde, who is a gangster and builder in kolkatta and is also the father of deceased MD of that hospital. He spots chiru in a surveillance video recording in hospital and is shocked to see him alive !
Interval…
Second half starts with chiru’s flashback, where chiru and jyothika’s marriage scene is shown.
After some light comedy and a couple of songs, Jyothika and her kid are killed in a fire accident which occurs when the apartment collapses.
Chiru’s acting is extraordinary in this scene, when he sees his wife and kid burned to ashes. He realizes that builder, who is none other than sayaji shinde is behind this, and asks for justice. When turned down, he bashes everyone black and blue but is hit and thrown away by villain’s henchmen.
A group of medicos save him, and he decides to form a network of students who spread themselves into different government departments and gather information about most corrupt officials.
When, people stop taking bribes, gangsters use the fear factor to get their work done. So, Tagore decides to clean them out too. In this process he kidnaps a bunch of gangsters and kills the villain.
A special officer from delhi, Punnet Issar is deployed to solve this case, who uses a constable PrakshRaj’s investigative conclusions and arrests all ex-students of that college and gives them a redroom treatment. But, he fails to know their cheif’s name.
Unable to see the torture on his students, chiru decides to surrender himself on a condition that all those who were arrested will get back their jobs unconditionally.
Tagore is arrested and is presented in a special court, where he refuses to plead guilty.
Cheif minister(K.Viswanath) requests him to appeal for kshamabiksha. But, tagore replies naaku telugu bashalo nachani padam..kshaminchadam.
His speech in court is terrific.
In the end, tagore is sentenced to 5 years imprisonment and is released thereafter.
