Wild Dog Review

Wild Dog Review, What’s Behind?

King Nagarjuna comes up with an action thriller Wild Dog based on true incidents of series of bomb blasts in Hyderabad and other places in the country. The film marks Tollywood debut for director Ashishor Solomon who previously directed a Bollywood film John Day and worked as writer for super hit films like Oopiri and Maharshi. Will this film provide break for Nagarjuna whose last few films bombed at box office?

Wild Dog Story Review:

ACP Vijay Varma (Nagarjuna) who is also a victim of terrorists attacks in Hyderabad rejoin NIA to catch the key player behind all the bomb blasts in India for last few years. He along with his team is on a mission to catch the terrorist leader. After a failure attempt in India, they go all the way to Kathmandu in Nepal where the team has many challenges. Will the mission Wild Dog be accomplished?

Wild Dog Artists, Technicians Review:

Director Ashishor Solomon penned the story based on true events and tried to make it as a commercial entertainer including fictional elements. The storyline is definitely intriguing as it is about catching the terrorist leader behind many bomb blasts in over years including series of blasts in Hyderabad. But, the narration was not as convincing as the story promised. Though his intense research is witnessed in investigation process which depicts how NIA functions, the lack of emotional connectivity plays the spoilsport. Rather giving enough space for investigation, Ashishor should have given space for other elements which would have made it an engaging watch.

It’s a tough job to capture action sequences and chasings, Shaneil Deo’s camera work is one of the major highlights. S Thaman too tried hard to fire up the visuals with his pulsating background score. Fortunately, the film doesn’t have any songs. Dialogues by Kiran Kumar are potent. Shravan Katikaneni has cut the film for a crisp runtime of 129 minutes. Still, there are few unnecessary elements in the final cut. Stunts by David Ismalone and Sham Kaushal are just outstanding. The action sequences give edge of the seat feel. Production values of Matinee Entertainment are definitely top-notch.

Onto performances, Nagarjuna played an action-packed role and he steals the show with his one man show. He is outstanding in action sequences. The actor who played the terrorist leader has done good job. All the team members of the mission did their parts aptly. Dia Mirza is limited merely for 3 to 4 scenes. Saiyami Kher has got a meaty role and she is good. Atul Kulkarni and Anish Kuruvilla were okay.

Wild Dog Review Advantages:

Cinematography

Action Sequences

Wild Dog Review drawbacks:

Lethargic Narration

Predictability

Lack Of Emotional Drama

Wild Dog Review Rating Analysis:

Spy thrillers generate special interest and moreover the film’s story is based on true incidents. Above all, the film also discusses about the horrific events of Gokul Chart, Lumbini Park and Konark Theatre bomb blasts. Ashishor Solomon has done a good job in gathering the sufficient information about the mission, but he has showed his inexperience in handling the subject.

Without wasting any time, the film begins with a bomb blast in a popular bakery in Pune and the government hands over the case to NIA which is still a new agency but was established mainly to catch terrorists. With a small flashback episode Nagarjuna makes his entry as a NIA officer on a mission to eradicate terrorists in the city. Not much scope is given to family emotions and another flashback of Gokul Chat bomb blast unveils personal loss of Nagarjuna. The mission to catch the kingpin of the bomb blasts was bit lengthy and would have been handled well. The intermission sequence gives hint about the team set to fly to Kathmandu in search of the terrorist leader.

The latter half starts off on an interesting note with an attack on Wild Dog team in Kathmandu by unknown persons suggesting there is a corrupt officer in the department. And Saiyami Kher makes her entry with this action block. However, the narration turns very predictable and a marriage episode where the team misses the target too lacked the engaging and thrilling factor. Pre climax action sequence is cool, followed by an extended climax portions.

On the whole, Wild Dog is a mediocre action thriller. It would have become an excellent film with a perfect execution of the script. Thankfully, the director got excellent backing from all the technical team. Nagarjuna played an action-packed role and he is the biggest asset. CJ goes with 2.75 star rating and it will surely impress action movie lovers.

Movie	Wild Dog
Star Cast	Nagarjuna Akkineni, Dia Mirza, Saiyami Kher
Director	Ashishor Solomon
Producer	S. Niranjan Reddy, K. Anvesh Reddy
Music	Thaman
Run Time	2 Hr 9 Mins
Release	2nd April 2021

Nagarjuna Akkineni likes to experiment with his films and often works with budding filmmakers. His latest outing Wild Dog is helmed by newcomer Ahishor Solomon and it is promoted as an action thriller. Here’s our review of the film.

Story: Wild Dog is based on a series of bomb blasts in Pune and Hyderabad following the horrific 2006 bombings at Gokul chat, Hyderabad. The home department assigns the case to NIA officer Vijay Varma who is nicknamed Wild Dog. Can Vijay and his team nab the terrorists? If yes, what are the challenges they face during the investigation?

What about on-screen performances?

Nagarjuna is fit as a fiddle. His one-man show is the main asset of the film. He excels as a ruthless NIA officer. Dia Mirza makes a brief appearance and she delivers a fine performance. Saiyami Kher is good and she performs particularly well in action sequences. Ali Reza, Prakash Sudharshan, and Appaji deliver excellent performances.

What about off-screen talents?

Realistic action thriller is a rarely used explored genre in Telugu cinema and Wild Dog is one of the very few Telugu biggies to fall under this category. The terrorist bomb blasts in Hyderabad form the core plot of the film and the director narrates the proceedings without any deviations. The story in itself is intriguing and packs a punch. But Ahishor Solomon’s screenplay could have been better. The first 30 minutes are solely dedicated for the establishment of premise and that could have been avoided to give the film a better start. The second half is filled with action sequences but there aren’t many thrilling elements.

Shaniel’s cinematography is very impressive and he gives the film a new feel with his brilliant work behind the lens. Thaman’s background score gels with the theme and elevates certain sequences. Editing is crisp.

What’s Hot?

• Nagarjuna’s performance
• Story and premise
• Pacy second half
• Action episodes

What’s Not?

• Lack of thrilling elements
• Bumpy narrative

Wild Dog is powered by Nagarjuna’s stunning performance and has a very good premise. But the screenplay should have been laced with more thrilling elements which can keep the audience on the edge of the seats. There is enough action in the film but thrills, not quite.

Watch or Not:  Nagarjuna’s fans can give it a try

Wild Dog Movie Review: An honest thriller that plays it a bit too safe

Rating: ( 2.5 / 5).

Wild Dog by debutant Ahishor Solomon wastes no time to get to its core point. Inspired by true events, it opens with the 2010 German Bakery blast (renamed in the film), which sets up the introductory fight of swashbuckling National Investigation Agency (NIA) officer, Vijay Varma (Nagarjuna). The gun-fight is bloody, brutal, and massy sans the usual slow-motion shots. When one of the officers takes a moment to think about whether to kill the terrorist on the other end, Vijay shoots the terrorist and says, “ Champaka pothe chasthav (If you don’t kill, you’ll die).” This happens to be the only character illustration of his we get through the whole film, which derives its title from the epithet Vijay is awarded for his ferocious, gun-friendly nature. 

However, post the introductory fight, we never see this ruthlessness again. While it's understandable that his daughter’s death during the film's recreation of the Gokul chat bombing would mellow him, the script tames him completely. The intent to keep the protagonist likable is a real problem. He is a killing machine, a father dealing with the death of his only daughter, a dedicated officer committed to bringing down terrorist organisations, but he is also the charming Nagarjuna. The attempt to balance this stoic character with the endearing persona of the star acts as both a boon and a bane. Nagarjuna’s presence makes the film effortlessly watchable, but the consequent lightness of the character makes the film feel a tad simple and safe.

Director: Ahishor Solomon

Cast: Nagarjuna Akkineni , Ali Reza, Atul Kulkarni, Saiyami Kher, Pradeep  

While excessive melodrama is often deemed a show-spoiler, Wild Dog is one of those rare films that makes you wish some melodrama had been milked from the terrible real-life tragedies the screenplay is built around. In the opening scene, we see a young woman who was smiling a few moments ago, walk towards the camera and cry in anguish, having lost an arm in the bomb blast. It's a fairly potent image. We never see her again though. Yet another powerful moment comes when Vijay talks to a hospitalised survivor. We see a teardrop, mixed with blood from his injuries, running down his face. It’s the furthest the film goes to draw emotional investment. Otherwise, it’s all about guns, terrorists, and covert operations. There’s little to no time for drama. And so, we never truly comprehend the deadly situations these characters are frequently caught in nor find a way to care for them.

The one-line character sketches don't help either. There's Hashwanth (Pradeep), who's ordered to join the operation when he on his honeymoon; Caleb, who's having trouble finding a bride; Arya (Saiyami Kher), whose idea of an aggressive RAW agent is sporting a stone-faced look; and Ali (Ali Reza), who has an acting bug deep inside; and Rudra (Prakash Sudarshan), who has no notable feature. Barring Ali, whose character trait is expanded into an important plot point, none of them go beyond being functional in combat sequences. Likewise, Vijay's wife, Priya (Dia Mirza), makes Yazhini from Vivegam and Anjali from Baby look like fully-fleshed characters.

It's also impossible to overlook the fact that almost every wrong-doer in this story is a Muslim. Now, this could be a function of the screenplay drawing from real-life operations. And while the film does avoid actively portraying the community in a bad light, it also keeps from leveraging the good Muslim cop at its disposal, making this yet another instance of the film playing it safe.

The writing is sharpest when it focuses on individual set pieces. The finely choreographed action ranges from hand-to-hand combat to shotgun showdowns. An extended sequence before the intermission built around the reveal of the antagonist, Khalid, does a great job at building the tension. We know that Vijay and his team will bring Khalid to justice, but the how of it keeps us guessing. By the time the sequence ends on an abrupt note, we are on the edge of our seats.

On the flipside, some of the dialogues are quite juvenile. When Vijay and his team realise their plans to nab the terrorist mastermind might have been leaked by an insider, Vijay helpfully says, "Our lives are in danger." When an explosion sends Vijay into a trance-like state, we see him having a lovely time with his daughter. She asks him what he'd do if someone hurts her, and Vijay replies, "I'll kill everyone," with his usual charm. Coming at a crucial juncture, the too-literal line irks.

In all, Wild Dog is an honest attempt to tell the story of a brave officer and it manages to do it without drenching the story in nationalism, a hot cake at the moment. It should have been wilder though.

Star Performance

Nag fits well in the role. Diya Mirza did her job well. Saiyami Kher and Ali Reza had done what their characters needed.

The director started the story on a quick note and he takes no time in setting up the characters. But, something slows down the pace and it is back to the pace before the interval. The action sequences are well-choreographed and Nagarjuna played it so well. The second half is interesting than the first half. The antagonist should have been a better choice. Some emotional elements are missing out. The cinematography is good and the BGM is okayish. The narration should have been better in the first half.

What’s There?

• The performance of the stars is good
• The second half is interesting

What’s Not There?

• The first half should have been better
• Emotional elements are missing

Wild Dog is a good action entertainer with neat performances! If the first half had some good narration, the film would have gone to the next level.

Wild Dog Review - A not bad actioner that is unfussy but lacks the thrills!

Published date : 23/apr/2021.

Wild Dog - A not bad actioner that is unfussy but lacks the thrills!

Bharath Vijayakumar

Action thrillers set around a mission more often than not follow a similar template. And the predictability increases when you have a star leading the mission. Wild Dog starring Nagarjuna is the kind of film that keeps it simple. It avoids the commercial trappings associated with a typical Telugu mainstream actioner and tries to go about things in a cool and unfussy manner. The key here is that it 'tries', as the results are a mixed bag.

What works in Wild Dog is that it is rather focussed right from the word go and the entire film is a stretch of one operation. Hero glorification is rather muted and his backstory and emotional baggage are kept to a bare minimum. But the constant adrenaline rush or the associated thrill that is the primary reason for this genre to exist is sorely missing. The chases across geographies , the stunts and the near escapes - all these play out in a rather mechanical fashion. The villains are cardboard characters and even the hero and his team do not bring much to the table except for the effort to sound cool. The stunts aren't exaggerated but for a film that does not rely on emotional connect and is being treated like a video game, you need the stunts to capture your attention.

Bottomline :

Wild Dog is a passable actioner that remains watchable but it barely offers the thrills of the genre.

Rating: 2.5/5

PS: Streaming on Netflix

Wild Dog Movie Review

Movie Review   Wild Dog Director:  Ahishor Solomon Producer:   S. Niranjan Reddy and K. Anvesh Reddy Banner:  Matinee Entertainments Music director:    S Thaman Starring:    Nagarjuna Akkineni, Dia Mirza, and Saiyami Kher Release Date:  2nd April 2021 Rating: 3 /5

Wild Dog starring Nagarjuna Akkineni, Dia Mirza, and Saiyami Kher, directed by Ahishor Solomon has finally arrived at the theaters  today on 2nd April. Bigg Boss Telugu 3 fame Ali Reza, Appaji Ambarisha Darbha and Avijit Dutt are also the part of Wild Dog. Let’s see the story of Wild Dog.

Story:  A blast happens in John’s bakery.  Vijay Varma aka Wild Dog (Nagarjuna) and his team NIA  get the responsibility to nab the criminals. With a small twist, the address of the terrorists are known to be in Nepal.  Vijay  Varma is on a secret mission to Nepal and in the hunt of the mastermind behind the criminal and terror activities.  How he leads the investigation, form the rest of the story of Wild Dog.

Plus Points:

• Performance

Minus Points:

Performance:   Wild Dog is a  movie that deals with the terror attacks. Nagarjuna is playing  NIA officer Vijay Varma, who is also known as Wild Dog.  He is one of the major assets of this film and has given noteworthy performance. Diya Mirza comes up with a clean performance but she has minimal scenes. Saiyami Kher is fine. Ali Reza does a good job in his role.  The rest of the cast of Wild Dog are ok.

Technical:  The writing  of Wild Dog is not very strong and too convenient.   S Thaman’ background score is the main asset of this film Wild Dog.  The background score is pulsating and plays an integral part in  Nagarjuna starrer. The runtime of  Wild Dog is one of the plus point . The cinematography by Shaneil Deo is flawless and the editing is good. Art department has done a superb job and the production values are good. The Investigation scenes are satisfactory.

Analysis:  Nagarjuna’ performance in Wild Dog makes the audience attached to the film. Go and watch it.

The film, however, started on a dull note at the box office. The occupancy has been quite dull today in the morning shows and picked up during the evening shows.

As the mouth talk is decent, the makers are expecting that occupancy will increase in the days to come. Nagarjuna plays the main lead in this film. Solomon directs it.

Nagarjuna’s ‘Wild Dog’ Movie Review

Wild Dog Movie Review

Telugu360 Rating: 2.75/5

King Nagarjuna needs a hit as he is surrounded by a series of flops. The actor loved the concept of Wild Dog and gave his immediate nod. Talented writer Solomon is returning back to direction after a while with Wild Dog. Nagarjuna, Dia Mirza, Atul Kulkarni. Saiyami Kher, Ali Reza played the lead roles in this action entertainer that is all about the ISI attacks on Pune and Hyderabad. Niranjan Reddy’s Matinee Entertainments are the producers. Wild Dog is releasing today and here is the complete review of Wild Dog:

Wild Dog is the story of Vijay Varma (Nagarjuna) who is a ruthless cop and leads NIA Special Team. He gets shattered with the demise of his daughter in a bomb blast in Hyderabad. After staying away from NIA for years, he gets a call from the Indian government to lead the team on a mission to nab the masterminds in the blast’s case. Vijay Varma who is popularly called Wild Dog leads the team to catch Khalid, the key accused in the case. Watch Wild Dog to know about their special mission which makes Vijay Varma and his team proud.

After the arrival of the coronavirus pandemic, the Indian and Telugu audience watched hundreds of shows, web films on terrorism and action. Wild Dog has nothing new and interesting to offer right from the plot to the narration. Wild Dog is neither racy nor completely dull. It has some good moments but the narration is never gripping. Nagarjuna shines as Vijay Varma but this alone cannot drive the film. The first half of Wild Dog is ok to watch but the audience will have their own complaints. Some of the episodes are silly.

The process of investigation looks outdated and it has nothing new. With many modern techniques being adapted, the team relies on a sketch artist to find the face of the criminal and the hunt to find the name of the main accused is so long. The team of NIA are just a step away from nabbing Khalid but he misses without any trace most of the time. This will surely disappoint the audience. Team Wild Dog finally lands in Nepal and those episodes too are not worth watching. The climax portions too are so simple and remind us about several Bollywood films.

Performances:

Nagarjuna shines in the role of Vijay Varma who plays a honest NIA cop in the film. The role looks perfect for his age and he looks natural with a scar and grey hair. Dia Mirza has couple of scenes as Vijay Varma’s wife. Atul Kulkarni gets a tailor made role as a cop who struggles to convince the government against the odds. Saiyami Kher gets a challenging role and she a full length role in the second half of Wild Dog. Ali Reza and the team of Wild Dog did their part well. All the other actors are good and did well.

Wild Dog has a simple plot and it is inspired by several crime thrillers. The screenplay should have been gripping and more intense. The dialogues are good. Thaman delivers an impressive background score and the cinematography work is apt. The production values should have been better. Solomon takes Wild Dog on a serious note but the second half of Wild Dog has enough flaws. On the whole, Wild Dog will have a limited appeal.

Wild Dog is a film that will have a limited appeal because of several such attempts on digital platforms in the recent times. Nagarjuna and his team are good but the second half of Wild Dog has its own flaws.
