The former is thoroughly wasted the latter pulls off a neat act.īruce Lee is a huge production that has at its disposal a good technical crew and several known actors. Picture this: A guy walks into a star hotel with a guitar case loaded with rifles and breezes through the security scanner.Īrun Vijay and Sampath Raj are the antagonists here. When the entire antagonist track opens with an illogical act, probably one shouldn’t expect much. There’s a spoof on PK (poor Rajkumar Hirani) and Brahmanandam arrives as an undercover cop. The method doesn’t involve mind games, just a bunch of comic actors who raise the already high decibel levels (music by Thaman) even further with their high-pitched dialogue delivery. Keeping logic aside as to whether an IB officer would engage the services of a stuntman as opposed to an undercover cop, it’s laughable when Bruce Lee does almost everything on his own. The real fun, or suspension of disbelief as they call it in cinematic parlance, comes much later, when an intelligence bureau officer entrusts a tough task to Bruce Lee. In fact, she is given many dialogues about how a good cop can make people live in peace and have a sound sleep! Of course, she spots Bruce Lee in a cop’s uniform when he’s taking someone to task. It’s not her fault that her role oscillates between being awed by the hero and being silly enough to expect him to nail every culprit in town so that she can have a peaceful sleep. Rakul is gorgeous and gives the role her best shot. But in a typical masala film, the heroine ends up being silly. Good girls, like the sister, are usually composed and focussed. The crux of these portions might look dated but Sreenu Vaitla handles it fairly well, mixing it with fun on the sets of Bruce Lee’s films. A hero who grows up sacrificing his own interests for his sister is bound to warm the hearts of the audience, isn’t it? As Bruce Lee, the stuntman, he basks in the love of his sister Kavya (Kriti Karbanda) and gets chided by the father. The boy understands how badly his sister wants to become an IAS officer and scores lesser marks on purpose so that his father’s attention would shift to his sister. The boy gets the larger share of the pie. Never mind if there’s an intelligent daughter who dreams big. As a child, he is the centre of focus for his father (Rao Ramesh) who hopes the boy will grow up to be an IAS officer.
Has he to moved on to something better though?īruce Lee is the hero who can do no wrong. If it is the done-to-death Dookudu template, yes, he has moved away from it. That scene is so apt in the context of Bruce Lee, a film in which director Sreenu Vaitla claims to have moved away from his template. A director and a crew member on the sets share a casual, caustic remark about the lack of content and having to make up for it with things that pack a punch.
Karthik (Ram Charan) - let’s call him Bruce Lee since that’s how he’s referred to by his peers in this film - is a stuntman performing risky stunts and doubling up for a hero.
They show us snatches of what happens on the sets of a typical commercial film, where the makers play to the gallery to mint money.
