After the successful thriller ‘Naandi’ by Allari Naresh and director Vijay, Ugram is the repeat of the same combination. The trailer and the story line of Ugram appeared to be same. The film released on May 5. Let us see if the combination has worked again.

Plot

Circle Inspector Shiva Kumar (Allari Naresh) is a sincere police officer. He works in Warangal city and falls in love with Aparna (Mirna Menon). Shiva Kumar marries Aparna even though her father doesn’t agree to it. What is supposed to be a happy family is shattered by an accident five years later. Shiva’s wife and child go missing and he suffers memory loss. What happened to Shiva’s family, how did he trace them, how are they linked to many other similar cases and how Shiva tries to solve the mystery forms the rest of the story.

Performances

Allari Naresh as an actor proves his mettle once again with Ugram. The movie is all about his character in two different shades-before the accident and after it-and how he restored his happy family life.

Naandi highlighted the rights of prisoners who remained undertrials for years. Ugram highlights missing persons cases and the human trafficking network behind it.

Naresh aced the role of a disgruntled cop who unearths a massive racket while searching for his family. Heroine Mirna Menon was good.

Analysis

Ugram is nothing new to Telugu cinema and doesn’t have any anything special to offer. But the what has been offered on the platter is satisfactory to an extent. What could be a perfect thriller is spoiled by the turn of events where the protagonist’s family is also put among the victims of the mafia that is behind the missing cases. For a cop to investigate a racket, it does not have to hold his family captive. It is an age-old yet outdated formula to make room for sentiment.

The director managed to get audience engaged in the beginning of the story but couldn’t hold them till the end.

Music by Sri charan is decent and the production values are good.

What’s Good
Naresh as a police

What’s Bad
Sentiment & Gory fight scenes

Bottomline
Old wine in a new bottle

Sarkar Rating: 2.5/5
