Ugram: Allari Naresh shines in this action thriller based on true events

Allari Naresh and director Vijay Kanakamedala have teamed up once again for the action thriller, Ugram. 

The movie, just like their previous hit Naandhi, is based on true events. The film follows the story of Shiva Kumar (Allari Naresh), a sincere cop who falls in love with Aparna (Mirnaa Menon) and gets married to her. However, his dedication to his job causes problems in their relationship. Meanwhile, people in Hyderabad start going missing, and Shiva Kumar's family gets caught up in the mystery.

Allari Naresh delivers a sincere performance as the cop, bringing the intensity required for the role. The first half of the movie moves at a good pace, with a well-handled family drama and a standout scene where Naresh punishes a few eve-teasers. Mirnaa Menon also gives a decent performance, and Sri Charan's background score elevates some of the action sequences.

However, the investigative angle lacks punch and is pretty ordinary, with the missing cases issue taking center stage only in the second half. One song comes abruptly, affecting the flow, and the reason behind the kidnappings is disappointing and familiar. The villain's character is poorly written, and the climax hampers the impact considerably.

Despite its flaws, Ugram is worth watching for Allari Naresh's impressive performance and some well-executed action sequences. Sri Charan Pakala's music and Siddharth's cinematography also add to the film's overall appeal. While it may not be as successful as Naandhi, Ugram is still a decent addition to the action thriller genre.

Director Vijay Kanakamedala does an okay job with Ugram, getting the best out of Naresh but struggling to maintain the grip in the second half. The familiar medical mafia angle lets down the movie to an extent. Nevertheless, the technical values are good, and Sri Charan Pakala's music and Siddharth's cinematography add to the film's overall appeal. While not as successful as Naandhi, Ugram is still a decent addition to the action thriller genre.

The film's standout scene sees Naresh punishing a few eve-teasers, showcasing his intensity and dedication to his job. Mirnaa Menon also gives a decent performance as Naresh's wife, but the villain's character is poorly written, and the climax hampers the impact considerably. One song comes abruptly, affecting the flow of the movie.

Overall, Ugram is a one-time watch for fans of Allari Naresh and action thrillers. While it may not reach the next level due to its familiar storyline, Naresh's performance and some well-executed action sequences make it an entertaining watch. Despite its flaws, Ugram is a decent addition to the genre and worth checking out.
