Kedi Movie Review:

This is the much awaited film of big star in 2010. Expectations are pinned on this film after Adurs and Namo Venkatesa those did an ‘ok’ job at box office. Let us get into the details to know how it faired.

The story revolves around three characters - Ramesh (Nagarjuna), a vigorous kedi on the run, Shekar Rameshsetty (Sayaji Shinde), the Assistance Commisioner of Police and Chandra (Ankur Vikal), a gangster of sorts in Goa. The film begins with Shekar catching hold of Rummy, as Nag calls himself, when the top cop begins grilling him forcing him to confess the misdeeds he has committed all along. Nag begins his story, which began in Guntur, way back when he was in his early teens, reached Goa and is now settled in Hyderabad.

He first gets our sympathies when he tells he was harassed by his father (Tanikella Bharani, in just one scene) for spending money to buy a cricket bat. He becomes a romantic in our eyes when he, even in his early teens, sweeps Janaki off her feet in the town and the twosome serenade to Rela Re.. Rela Re. When Janaki's father discovers their affair, there ensues a violent fight between the two families. The guy, who has come a long way from those days and has now become a big-time thief, narrates the death of his beloved sister in the skirmish, with a sense of outrageous detachment.

He moves on to narrate that he has always earned a living by hoodwinking others. Be it making fool of a police inspector or robbing a BMW, he is a massive success. In Goa, he joins hands with the menacing Chandu, who has no sense of scruples. Rummy is assigned the task of collecting the delivery of RDX from the port, when he is caught by the police.

Why is Rummy trying hard to get back the 25 kilos of RDX he has sold off for a crore? Will he ever meet Janaki? Will he become the human being he has never been? The answers to these questions are answered in the second half.

Analysis:
This is the movie that has been in news ever since the announcement of its title. The stills with youthful get up of Nagarjuna pulled the attention of many and the first proposed title ‘Rummy’ also caught the attention. Later, it was announced that the title changed to ‘Mosagadu’ that sounded rugged and old. Finally another obsolete title ‘Kedi’ was zeroed in. Many felt ‘Rummy’ could be the ideal title for this film as the hero’s nick name is Rummy (Ramesh) and it is also a card game that denotes gambling, the main crux of the movie.

The director's lack of experiance is seen when he used the two energetic songs in the beginning itself. He might have used them in before the climax.
