Arrasu - Classy Entertainer

Another landmark film in the name of Power Star. Puneeth fights back with a decent entertainer after a dissapointing "Ajay". Mahesh Babu continues his successfull ride after Akash. Coming from the prestigeous banner Vajreswari Combines known for their clean movies Arrasu is a neat family entertainer.



"Arrasu" presents the hero of the film in a totally different manner. He is an optimist, straightforward, extremely rich, spoilt brute who just doesnt seem to have any aim in life. According to him life is to be enjoyed to the maximum possible extent without any worries. The turning point comes when he meets Ramya whome he falls in love instantly. Ramya being a very responsible character challenges him to earn atleast Rs 5000 without using his name anywhere in society. Thats where the third character played by Meera Jasmine comes into play. In her guidance he is able to achieve his goal. A triangle love develops but who gets who???? Watch it on the silver screen. Completely new concept handled excellently by Mahesh Babu gives the movie a very unpredictable climax. Special guest appearances by Aditya, Darshan and Shreya all add glitter to the entertainment.

Joshua Shridhar has given foottapping tunes and combined with neat picturisation gives a very rich look to the film. No Tension, Ninna Kandakshana are shot very well. Baaro Baaro sung by Puneeth himself is a wholesome mass song.

Both actress look glamourous but have failed to deliver good sentiments especially towards the climax. "Arrasu" does not boast of a great story, but what makes it attractive to the audience is the way the film has been narrated. The audience will feel the difference within ten minutes of its viewing. Though Puneet has a great charismatic appeal and enjoys a great level of popularity, he is presented as the boy next-door character. Dialogs are catchy. Very different from the previous films of Puneeth. Narrated in a different anglo accent portrays the character very well.Komal and Sreenivas Murthy do justice to their supporting roles. Mahesh Babu has taken care to make sure both heroines are given equal importance.Great locations,costly costumes,rich cars have been used.

Though the climax drags on towards the end testing the patience of the audience the director makes up with a good climax. The action scenes bring joy to the fans. Arrasu is an enjoyable film and worth for the rupee paid for its good songs, quality performances and high-class visuals.
