Suriya Gang Telugu Gang Rating and Film Review (3.5/5)

Suriya Gang Telugu Gang Rating and Film Review (3.5/5)

Tollywood popular production and distribution house UV Creations is releasing Suriya’s upcoming flick ‘Thaanaa Serndha Koottam’ in Telugu as 'Gang' for Sankranthi, despite heavy competition for the festival.

UV Creations has earlier dared to release their medium range films like Express Raja and Mahanubhavudu against top star movies during festival seasons and they attained success both the times. This time again, they are ready for another challenge. They hope the festival sentiment work in favour of them.

The fact is Gang is not a straight film. It is official remake of Bollywood hit Special 26 that starred Akshay Kumar in lead role. Though several filmmakers in South tried to make freemake for the Hindi movie, things didn’t materialize.

The film’s trailer hints that, it has elements for classes as well as masses. While the visuals appear to be classy in Trivikram style, Suriya’s getup and his acts are completely massy.

Meanwhile, Gang is releasing worldwide on January 12th.

Gang Review: Suriya Gang works on account of its meaty, realistic plot and nicely fleshed out characters. This is solid, assured remaking, evident in the meticulous detailing of its 80s production design. The film charms you with its subtle humor, through characters played two police conned into helping our fake CBI officers during a sham raid. These sequences, in particular, liven up the story, as does the portion where the gang interviews unsuspecting job-seekers to form their team for the big heist.

Rating: I’m going with 3.5/5 for director Vignesh Sivn Gang. Infusing humor into tense scenes, he gives us a delicious thriller that you don’t want to miss.

Verdict: Suriya Gang, in short, is an unpretentious, intelligent cinema that has potential to make a lasting impact. A definite watch.
