Supreme Hero Sai Dharam Tej is back on screen with Intelligent, directed by commercial hitmaker VV Vinayak who had last directed the Megastar Chiranjeevi comeback blockbuster Khaidi No 150 which was a remake. His last original flick Akhil had been a miserable failure at the box office. Here's team AP Herald's exclusive Intelligent first report.
Intelligent begins with the introduction of Sai Dharam Tej as Teja, a soft and silent youngster, a software engineer who's highly talented and is respected by everyone in his work. Situations force him to lock horns with Rahul Dev and Dev Gill, and he decides to use the hidden identity of Dharma Bhai to eliminate them. Was he successful in his mission is what Intelligent is all about?
Sai Dharam Tej dances well and his stunts are good, but his performance needs a serious makeover as he mostly apes the body Language and modulation of Megastar Chiranjeevi and Powerstar Pawan Kalyan, which has now become monotonous. With Lavanya Tripathi desperately attempting to go glam, intelligent doesn't provide her enough opportunity.
Director VV Vinayak has taken a beaten to death plot, but instead of Making it appealing with new scenes or interesting twists, he has delivered a bland product devoid of engaging screenplay or mass masala elements satisfying the audience, and bombards audience with annoying comedy, boring romance and over the top fights, absolutely making intelligent a skip-worthy venture.
