Pink not only saw critical applause but also succeeded in raking the moolah all over. In fact, content of the film attracted regional cinema makers to try their own versions. Thus, Ajith’s Tamil version of Nerkonda Paarvai too took Box Office by storm. Never-the-less Amitah Bachchan’s act as Deepak Sehgal stood one of the iconic performance’s in his career. What about the local versions?
Thala Ajith is a winner when it comes to keeping a balanced performance with depth of intensity in his eyes sustained throughout to keep the core content on top. Especially, the bi-polar disorder helped Ajith’s character in elevating the heroism without diluting the main plot. Those who have watched Nerkonda Paarvai will say unanimously that, Ajith simply lived in the role adjusted as per the Tamil audience tastes.
In Telugu version Vakeel Saab, the case is same. Director Venu Sriram and his team remodeled the protagonist role as per the demands of Telugu public. Automatically, all those movie enthusiasts who enjoyed Pink’s Deepak Sehgal and Nerkonda Paarvai’s Bharath Subrmaaniam will not be fully satisfied with Konidela Satyadev in Vakeel Saab. Lot of commercialization hindered the first half of movie and second half also suffered with inconsistence.
A film with social content deserves minimal heroism and maximum focus on subject. Just meant to appease PK Fans, a landmark script like Pink is re-sculptured. Thanks to the steep sincerity in second half from Shoojit Sarcar and team, our Telugu makers could not disturb the soul. In all the terms, Pawan Kalyan though not a match to Ajith and Big B on performance front, being a powerful personality off and on the screen, his towering screen presence took Vakeel Saab high. So, Pawan stood different from the rest of two.
