Continuing the trend of low-budget films, "Player" directed by Gnanasagar has hit the screens. Let's delve into how this film fares.
"Player," a Telugu film released on October 30, 2015, directed by Gnanasagar, attempts to bring a unique casino backdrop to the audience. Despite its intriguing premise, the film struggles with a predictable storyline and lackluster execution. With a rating of 2.5/5, the movie features Praveen Raj, Sahi, and Nagineedu in pivotal roles. While the first half holds some promise, the second half fails to maintain the momentum, making it an average watch.
Jayadev (Praveen Raj) is a young man who travels to Bangkok for his graduate studies. He enrolls in a high school where he befriends his teacher, Michael (Nagineedu). Recognizing Jayadev's mathematical prowess, Michael persuades him to engage in card counting at casinos to earn money. Jayadev, enticed by the prospect of wealth, follows Michael's lead and amasses a significant amount of money. However, he soon uncovers a shocking truth about his father’s connection to the dangerous Michael. The rest of the story revolves around Jayadev's quest to escape Michael's clutches and seek revenge for his father.
"Player" offers a novel casino backdrop that is relatively new to Telugu cinema. While the first half and some intriguing scenes are its strengths, the film ultimately falls flat due to its predictable revenge drama and lack of emotional depth. It ends up being an average watch.
