Allu Sirish starrer Buddy might work on mindless TV running for no audience on a boring afternoon when the adults are having a siesta.
Aditya (played by Allu Sirish) is a pilot who drinks on duty and he is aggressively proud of himself for saving kids (of course, kids! Who else will be exploited to elicit cheap emotions? Oh, yeah! Women too) by doing a stunt in the air that any adult with thinking capacity knows that the writer and director didn’t even do basic preliminary research. Pallavi, the air traffic controller, miraculously turns into and out of the teddy bear doll. Hero is in search of a heroine. Meanwhile, the flat-faced hero learns that the villain is running an organ mafia. Of course, the hero who can throw a bottle into the air in a dim-lit pub and shoot it with a gun, has to stop the global organ mafia. Why do we even need police when we can have goggles-wearing Allu Sirish to save us!
There is nothing much to tell about this movie except my rant on why did even Gnanavelraja produced this movie? I understand that the cast and crew needs money. But, why does he even want to commission such a stupid script? Buddy was supposed to be an action comedy movie, neither the action has pep nor the comedy has any sense. Why does he even want to make such a film when there might be none to watch?
The music by Hiphop Tamizha is nothing but a noise to the ears. The retro song tried to hook the ears but failed anyway at large. The lighting and cinematography by Krishnan Vasant in certain scenes are good, gives the saturated artificial feel that even Star Plus soap operas can achieve these days.
Buddy is a pretty much ignorable movie for adults and kids too. I wonder, would Allu Sirish, Sam Anton or any other from the cast and crew re-watch this movie at least once again?
Buddy is now playing in theatres.
