Eagle Movie Review: A stylish, half-baked action flick with a punchy twist for a worthy cause

Eagle 1st Half: Below Average

The film kicks off with an intense note, introducing Anupama Parameswaran, but the subsequent rollercoaster ride offers more lows than highs. Anupama’s investigation into Ravi Teja’s character falls short, overshadowed by numerous character introductions aimed at elevating the protagonist. Ravi Teja’s screen presence is limited, with just 10 minutes in the first 40, leaving much to be desired.

On a positive note, Ravi Teja’s looks stand out, marking a return to his best appearance in a while. Davzand’s music and Karthik’s cinematography contribute significantly to the film’s appeal. The special elements of the farm house and shooting sequences impress, particularly with a promising Interval shot.

There is no sign of Kavya Thappar yet , and the latter half’s backend story must deliver to justify the elevations thus far.

Eagle 2nd half: Average

A group of people belonging to different territories attempts to thwart Ravi Teja, who is fighting for a good cause. A decent backstory contributes to the film, somewhat known as a half-baked stylish flick.

Ravi Teja excels in his role, and the first half’s issues with testing patience are alleviated in the last 30 minutes. Dazzling music from Davzand adds to the film’s appeal.

Eagle Telugu Movie Review: “A stylish, half-baked action flick with a punchy twist for a worthy cause”

The beauty of “Eagle” lies in keeping spectators hanging in the balance for the cause protagonist Ravi Teja is fighting for. However, it provides negative effects to the story as it delves into unwanted elevations from different characters, especially through Anupama Parameswaran’s investigation scenes. These scenes, initially decent, later test patience and seem wasted after the main cause is revealed.

The backend story of Ravi Teja and Kavya Thapar shines in the latter half, saving the film from its earlier elevations. Their on-screen chemistry is commendable, and the unique story explores the gold cause for the protagonist’s fight.

Some scenes in the first half could easily be trimmed, as the elevation itself takes center stage over the actual story. The numerous side characters don’t match Ravi Teja’s screen time for the first 40 minutes of the film.

The shoot sequences throughout the film and the scenes that took place in Europe were well handled by the director.

Davzand’s music truly stands out; as a debutant, he has provided a commendable background score.

The twist within the twist during the climax certainly enhances the film, but it remains uncertain when the trend of producing sequels will come to an end. In a way, it tends to spoil the essence of the initial film. In contrast to Saindhav, this director has at least provided glimpses of what to expect and how the characterization will be developed.

Overall Verdict: “Eagle” promises action, but excessive elevations dampen the thrill despite a decent backend story supporting the main plot.

Note:* It’s a personal opinion. It will not be based on it’s film run or the talk on the other side.
