If Nara Rohit is beginning a new career phase after signing nearly dozen films currently in different production, post production stages; then ‘Thuntari’ released yesterday can be seen in pure positive perspective with respect to his last films. From ‘Banam’ till ‘Asura,’ though the time period is long but Rohit has done just seven to eight projects with most of them having serious or underplayed characters.
For the first time, director Kumar Nagendra tried a variant shade in Rohit by penning a jovial, care free and awara characterization. ‘Thuntari’ first half especially breezed something fresh just because of Rohit’s free flowing comic timing and his mannerisms. It was a surprise for many of the critics and movie lovers who earlier had doubts on how far Rohit can pull off a Shiva Karthikeyan in ‘Maan Karate.’
Anyways, ‘Thuntari’ got divided reports only due to weakly dealt second half. If at all Rohit tones down his weight managing to retain the same baby charm on face, he can be far more successful than what we have seen in ‘Thuntari.’ Let’s wait for ‘Savithri’ to know more.
