Sye Raa: Sudeep Shines, Vijay Wasted

Tollwood filmmakers are bringing in popular actors of other industries to generate hype in other languages. Likewise, stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Sudeep, Vijay Sethupathi etc are roped in to play important roles in Mega Star Chiranjeevi’s most ambitious project Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy.

Apart from Chiranjeevi who steal the show with his spectacular performance, Tamannaah Bhatia, Kiccha Sudeep and Sai Chand are winning the hearts with their commendable show in their respective roles.

Sai Chand’s role is intended to elevate the heroics of Chiranjeevi and the veteran has done his role effortlessly. Tamannaah as dancer Lakshmi did full justice to the role. She looked much beautiful and graceful in Sye Raa than Baahubali.

Coming to Sudeep, the Kannada star is one of the biggest assets of the film. He makes great impact in a brief role as Avuku Raju. His voice modulation and screen presence make his presence felt.

Amitabh Bachchan is a legend and he gave his best as mentor to Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy. Nayanthara and few other artists played their roles efficiently. But, many feel after watching the film that, Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi is wasted completely.

Vijay Sethupathi is one of the finest actors in Kollywood. He became most sought after in no time, because of his acting prowess and also because of the subjects he chooses. Nonetheless, this talented actor is not rightly used in Sye Raa.

Vijay Sethupathi is limited for very few scenes and he is restricted to eulogize Uyyalawada played by Chiru.
