Worst movie ever 

Suraj Kumar 300 322 days ago

please sir a movie dikhaiye na

Sanat Malhotra 278 334 days ago

Why are u offended and which fight scene was ruined? Stope being a feminist and complaining. Women can learn Krav Maga but in most cases will not be able to beat a man. Sure exceptions will happen. Also why are u angry in the female fight scene?because he got beaten up?if he hit those women then feminists would have come with another drama. It's 2023 ubwant women to do Krav Maga but kabir singh can't slap a girl.mwhat hypocricy

Boxing athlete movies are very less in Indian film industry even though this move was perfect imbalance of characters and their cringe behavior... But they tried to do a new sport film.

Liger Review: రివ్యూ: లైగర్‌

Liger Review: విజయ్‌ దేవరకొండ కథానాయకుడిగా పూరి జగన్నాథ్‌ దర్శకత్వంలో తెరకెక్కిన లైగర్‌ ఎలా ఉందంటే?

Liger Review: చిత్రం: లైగర్‌; నటీనటులు: విజయ్‌ దేవరకొండ, అనన్య పాండే, రమ్యకృష్ణ, రోనిత్‌ రాయ్‌, విషు రెడ్డి, అలీ, మైక్‌ టైసన్‌; సంగీతం: సునీల్‌ కశ్యప్‌, విక్రమ్‌ మాంట్రోస్‌, తనిష్‌ భాగ్చి; సినిమాటోగ్రఫీ: విష్ణు శర్మ; ఎడిటింగ్‌: జునైద్‌ సిద్ధిఖీ; రచన, దర్శకత్వం: పూరి జగన్నాథ్‌; బ్యానర్‌: పూరి కనెక్ట్స్‌, ధర్మ ప్రొడక్షన్స్‌; విడుదల తేదీ: 25-08-2022

హిందీలో ఒక్క సినిమా చేయ‌క‌పోయినా పాన్ ఇండియా స్థాయిలో క్రేజ్‌ని సొంతం చేసుకున్నారు విజ‌య్ దేవ‌ర‌కొండ‌ (Vijay devarakonda). ఆయ‌న్ని ‘లైగ‌ర్‌’(Liger Review)తో పాన్ ఇండియా స్థాయిలో ప‌రిచ‌యం చేస్తున్నారు పూరి జ‌గ‌న్నాథ్‌. ఈ క‌ల‌యికే ఒక ప్ర‌త్యేకం అనుకుంటే... ఇందులో బాక్సింగ్ దిగ్గ‌జం మైక్ టైస‌న్ న‌టించ‌డం మ‌రో ప్ర‌త్యేక‌త.  కొన్నాళ్లుగా దేశ‌మంతా ‘లైగ‌ర్’ ప్ర‌చార హోరు కొన‌సాగింది. ప్ర‌చార చిత్రాలు ఆక‌ట్టుకున్నాయి, అంచ‌నాల్ని రేకెత్తించాయి. పాన్ ఇండియా సినిమాల హంగామా కొన‌సాగుతున్న ఈ ద‌శ‌లో ప్రేక్ష‌కుల ముందుకొచ్చిన ‘లైగ‌ర్‌’ (Liger Review) ఎలా ఉందో తెలుసుకునే ముందు క‌థేమిటో చూద్దాం..!

క‌థేంటంటే: మిక్స్‌డ్ మార్ష‌ల్ ఆర్ట్స్ (ఎమ్‌.ఎమ్‌.ఎ)లో త‌న కొడుకు లైగ‌ర్ (విజ‌య్ దేవ‌ర‌కొండ)ని  జాతీయ ఛాంపియ‌న్‌గా చూడాల‌నేది బాలామ‌ణి (ర‌మ్య‌కృష్ణ) కోరిక‌.  త‌న భ‌ర్త కూడా ఫైట‌రే. అందుకే త‌న క‌ల కోసం క‌రీంన‌గ‌ర్ నుంచి ముంబై చేరుకుంటుంది. త‌న కొడుకుతో క‌లిసి ఓ టీస్టాల్ పెడుతుంది. జీవితంలో క‌ల నెర‌వేర్చుకోవాలంటే అమ్మాయిల జోలికి వెళ్ల‌కూడ‌ద‌ని బాలామ‌ణి త‌న కొడుకుకి చెబుతుంటుంది. కానీ,  తానియా (అన‌న్య‌ పాండే)తో ప్రేమ‌లో ప‌డ‌తాడు. ఆ అమ్మాయి మాత్రం లైగ‌ర్‌కి న‌త్తి ఉంద‌ని తెలిసి దూర‌మ‌వుతుంది. ప్రేమ‌లో ప‌డి విఫ‌లమైన లైగ‌ర్ త‌న క‌లని నెర‌వేర్చుకున్నాడా?  లేదా?  లైగ‌ర్ లాస్ వేగాస్‌కి ఎందుకు వెళ్లాల్సి వచ్చిందనేది  మిగ‌తా క‌థ‌.

ఎలా ఉందంటే: ఓ సాధార‌ణ ప్రేమ‌క‌థ‌కి మిక్స్‌డ్ మార్ష‌ల్ ఆర్ట్స్ నేప‌థ్యాన్ని జోడించి తెర‌కెక్కించిన సినిమా ఇది (Liger Review).  కానీ, ఈ సినిమా ఎక్కువ‌గా ఎమ్.ఎమ్‌.ఎ క‌థ‌గానే ప్ర‌చార‌మైంది. ఆ నేప‌థ్యానికి త‌గ్గ సీరియ‌స్‌నెస్ ఎక్క‌డా క‌నిపించ‌దు. అక్క‌డ‌క్క‌డా కొన్ని స‌న్నివేశాలు మ‌రీ కామెడీగా అనిపిస్తాయి. ప్రేమ‌క‌థ‌లోనైనా బలం, కొత్త‌ద‌నం ఉందా అంటే అదీ లేదు.  లైగ‌ర్‌, తానియా  ఒక‌రికొక‌రు ప‌రిచ‌య‌మైన విధానం, వాళ్లు ప్రేమ‌లో ప‌డ‌టం, ఆ త‌ర్వాత విడిపోవ‌డం... ఎందులోనూ సంఘ‌ర్షణ క‌నిపించ‌దు. క‌థ ఏ ద‌శ‌లోనూ ఆస‌క్తి రేకెత్తించ‌దు. ప్ర‌తీ స‌న్నివేశం ప్రేక్ష‌కుడి ఊహ‌కు త‌గ్గ‌ట్టుగా సాగుతుంది. విజ‌య్‌ని తెర‌పై చూపించిన విధానం మాత్రం మెప్పిస్తుంది.  ప్ర‌తినాయ‌కుడు, క‌థానాయిక స‌హా మిగ‌తా పాత్ర‌లేవీ మెప్పించ‌వు. ర‌మ్య‌కృష్ణ పాత్ర ప్ర‌థ‌మార్ధం వ‌ర‌కు ఫర్వాలేదు అనిపించినా, ద్వితీయార్ధంలో మ‌రీ నాట‌కీయంగా అనిపిస్తుంది. హీరో  అమెరికాలో ఫైట్ చేస్తుంటే, ఆమె టీవీ చూస్తూ అరుస్తూ, హీరోని ఎంకరేజ్ చేస్తుంటుంది. వాస్త‌విక‌త‌కి దూరంగా ఉండే అలాంటి స‌న్నివేశాలు ద్వితీయార్ధంలో బోలెడ‌న్ని. పూరి జ‌గ‌న్నాథ్ బ‌లం ర‌చ‌న‌. హీరో పాత్ర‌ని రాసే విధానం, వాళ్ల‌తో ప‌లికించే డైలాగులు సినిమాల‌కి ప్ర‌ధాన ఆక‌ర్ష‌ణ‌గా (Liger Review) నిలుస్తుంటాయి.

కానీ, ఈ సినిమాలో  హీరోని న‌త్తి స‌మ‌స్య ఉన్న యువ‌కుడిగా చూపించేయ‌డంతో, పూరి త‌న చేతులు తానే క‌ట్టేసుకుని ఎమ్‌.ఎమ్‌.ఎ ఫైట్ చేయ‌డానికి రింగ్‌లోకి దిగిన‌ట్టైంది. కొత్త‌ద‌నం లేక‌పోయినా ప్ర‌థ‌మార్ధం వ‌ర‌కు ప‌ర్వాలేద‌నిపించినా, ద్వితీయార్ధంలో సినిమా గాడి త‌ప్పింది. హీరో జాతీయ ఛాంపియ‌న్ అయ్యాక, ఇంట‌ర్నేష‌న‌ల్ పోటీల కోసం ప‌డే సంఘ‌ర్ష‌ణ, స్పాన్స‌ర్‌షిప్ వ్య‌వ‌హారం త‌దిత‌ర స‌న్నివేశాలు ప‌ర‌మ సాదాసీదాగా అనిపిస్తాయి. ప్రీ క్లైమాక్స్‌లో ఫైట్ వ‌ర‌కు ఇది స్పోర్ట్స్ సినిమా అని గుర్తు చేస్తుంది. ప్ర‌చారంలో భాగంగా ముంబై వెళ్లిన‌ప్పుడు అక్క‌డ  మైక్ టైస‌న్ ఎవ‌ర‌ని అడిగార‌ని, వికీపీడియాలో తెలుసుకుని సినిమాకి ర‌మ్మ‌ని చెప్పాన‌న్నారు  పూరి. కానీ, మైక్ టైస‌న్ ఎవ‌రో తెలుసుకోకుండా ఈ సినిమా చూడ‌ట‌మే మేల‌నిపిస్తుంది. క్లైమాక్స్‌లో ఫైట్ చూశాక‌. విజ‌య్‌కీ,  మైక్ టైస‌న్‌కీ మ‌ధ్య స‌న్నివేశాల్ని టైస‌న్ గురించి తెలిసిన ప్రేక్ష‌కులు జీర్ణించుకోవ‌డం క‌ష్ట‌మే.

ఎవ‌రెలా చేశారంటే: విజ‌య్ దేవ‌ర‌కొండ న‌ట‌న మెప్పిస్తుంది. లైగ‌ర్ పాత్ర కోసం త‌నని తాను తీర్చిదిద్దుకున్న విధానం, న‌త్తి ఉన్న యువ‌కుడిగా త‌ను క‌నిపించిన తీరు ఆక‌ట్టుకుంటుంది. పోరాట ఘ‌ట్టాల్లో అత‌ని క‌ష్టం స్ప‌ష్టంగా క‌నిపిస్తుంది. ర‌మ్య‌కృష్ణ పాత్ర ప్ర‌థ‌మార్ధం వ‌ర‌కు ఆక‌ట్టుకుంటుంది. అన‌న్య పాండే అందంగా క‌నిపించింది కానీ, ఆమె పాత్ర సినిమాపై పెద్ద‌గా ప్ర‌భావం చూపించ‌దు. రోనిత్ రాయ్ కోచ్‌గా మెప్పిస్తాడు. విషు, చంకీ పాండే, అలీ, గెట‌ప్ శ్రీను పాత్ర‌ల ప‌రిధి మేర‌కు న‌టించారు. సాంకేతికంగా కెమెరా విభాగం త‌ప్ప మ‌రేదీ పెద్ద‌గా ప్ర‌భావం చూపించ‌లేదు. సంగీతం ఓకే అనిపిస్తుంది. ద‌ర్శ‌కుడిగా పూరి జ‌గ‌న్నాథ్ అక్క‌డ‌క్క‌డా మాత్ర‌మే త‌న మార్క్‌ని ప్ర‌ద‌ర్శించారు. నిర్మాణ విలువ‌లు  ఉన్న‌తంగా ఉన్నాయి.

• Trivia Despite being marketed as a bilingual made in both in Telugu and Hindi languages, only Vijay Devarakonda has provided accurate lip syncs in both languages. Most of the Telugu actors have provided lip sync in Telugu while the rest of the Hindi actors speak in Hindi while being dubbed over for the Telugu version.
• Alternate versions The UK release was cut, the distributor chose to make changes to the film in order to obtain a 12A classification. This involved reducing the number of uses of strong language. An uncut 15 classification was available.

Liger Review: Knock Out Punch For Audience

Movie: Liger Rating: 2/5 Banner: Puri Connects & Dharma Productions Cast: Vijay Deverakoda, Ananya Panday, Ramya Krishna, Mike Tyson, Ronit Roy, Vishu Reddy, Ali, Makarand Desh Pandey, Getup Sreenu, and others Stunts: Kecha DOP: Vishnu Sarma Editor: Junaid Siddiqui Art: Jonny Shaik Basha Producers: Puri Jagannadh, Charmee, Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Hiroo Yash Johar  Story, Screenplay, Dialogues and Directed by: Puri Jagannadh  Release Date: Aug 25, 2022

“Liger” has created tremendous hype. The combination of director Puri Jagannadh and young sensation Vijay Deverakonda has occupied the media and social media space lately. Boxing legend Mike Tyson’s presence is another reason.

Besides big-ticket movies like “RRR”, “Radhe Shyam” and “KGF”, this pan-Indian film has also created buzz nationwide. Let’s find out whether the film lives up to the hype.

Story: Liger (Vijay Deverakonda) and his mother Balamani (Ramya Krishna) move to Mumbai from Karimnagar.

Balamani aims to see his son become a champion in MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) as her husband died without realizing his dream of winning a title in a boxing championship.

The mother and son run a chai shop in Mumbai for a living and Liger gets trained under an MMA guru (Ronit Roy). 

A rich girl Tanya (Ananya Panday) loves him and this romance changes his life altogether.

Will he become a champion or will he land in trouble due to his love story?

Artistes’ Performances: If you take away Vijay Deverakonda from the scene, nothing holds. Such a magnetic power he has in this film. He underwent a stunning makeover and developed a terrific body to play the role of ‘Liger’. While the stuttering act is not always perfect, his sincerity and hard work are praiseworthy. However, the script doesn’t give him anything to go beyond the surface. 

Ramya Krishna’s role as a spirited mother lacks enough material. Despite that, the senior actress gives what is required. Ananya Panday plays a typical heroine’s role.

Boxing legend Mike Tyson makes an appearance in the climax part. But the role Puri has written for him is half-baked.

Getup Seenu, Ali, and Ronit Roy do an okay job. Vishu Reddy does justice to his role.

Technical Excellence: The film is made on a lavish scale. The Las Vegas sequences and the production values have brought the film a rich look. Vishnu Sharma’s cinematography is top-class.

“Coka 2.0” and “Aafat” are beautiful on screen but both come in the wrong places in the film. Puri’s trademark dialogues are effective here and there.

Highlights: Vijay Deverakonda’s performance and presence The beginning sequences with VD and Ronit Roy

Drawback: Lack of story No emotional high No strong conflict or villain Final moments Mike Tyson’s presence wasted

Analysis The career of Puri Jagannadh, the director of many sensational blockbusters, lacks consistency. “Liger” seemed to be the opportunity to return to his glory days of “Pokiri”. With the scale of the movie (a pan-Indian project with Karan Johar joining hands) and a rising star in the lead role, the hype it generated gave the perfect vehicle for him to show his stamp. But, it turns out to be a wasted effort as “Liger” looks like an exercise with no proper script.

The film has a Mumbai setting. Had Puri written a story as bulky as Vadapav, it would have been different. But the storyline is as thin as a paper dosa. More than the story, the film doesn’t have a strong conflict or high emotional quotient, or a strong villain, the essential elements for mass movies. Puri Jagannadh’s script writing is not at all good here.

The idea of a protagonist with a stammering problem is irritating. The USP of this actor is his dialogue delivery. Director made a colossal mistake by thwarting his strength with this disability to the character. Moreover, this deficiency in the hero hardly makes any difference to the main story.

Puri Jagannadh begins this film as an inspirational story of a rise of a champion from a humble background. But midway, he cuts to the routine love story. The main goal gets lost in the melee. At a point it appears as if written by an amateur writer but not Puri Jagannath. So shocking! 

The so-called MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fights and sequences, which come one after the other, make a tiresome watch. Despite naming it MMA, the fights are similar to many boxing dramas. No difference! The film and the fights don’t provide a high.

The film further goes downhill when the story shifts to Las Vegas.  Things turn awkward as poor scenes are written to introduce the character of boxing legend Mike Tyson. A lengthy fight scene with lady fighters is another misstep. Thus, the final act completely goes wrong and becomes pointless. A legend like Tyson should have given better scenes.

Despite Vijay Deverakonda’s hard work, Puri wastes the golden opportunity to get pan-Indian fame.

Overall, “Liger” neither delivers a knockout punch nor does it offer thundering moments. It only proves that Puri Jagannadh is yet to come to his old form despite delivering 'iSmart Shakar' recently.

Bottom line: Bo..Bo..Bo..Boring

Liger Movie Review (2022)

Puri jagannadh's liger, starring vijay deverakonda and ananya panday, feels like a cruel joke on those who think "south films are better".

Liger Movie Cast & Crew

There's a terrific idea for a scene in the first half of Puri Jagannadh's Liger . That title refers to the Vijay Deverakonda character, who is named after his lion-like father and his tigress-like mother, played by Ramya Krishnan. Liger and his mother make their living by selling tea, but Liger falls for the super-rich Taniya, played by Ananya Panday. The scene I am talking about has Liger's mother telling Taniya how she raised him single-handedly, and it's her dream to make him an MMA fighter, and she does not want a flighty society girl to destroy that dream. A good masala -movie writer would have made this scene soar. It has everything: a mother's ambition, the rich-versus-poor conflict, a young man whose ambition is swayed by the distractions of a young woman. There is everything. And yet, the scene is a giant ball of nothing. It does nothing to you. It feels like one of many "checkboxes" someone thought they had to include in order to make a certain kind of mass-appeal movie.

It's disturbing enough that Bollywood filmmakers have forgotten to make good masala movies. But when the Telugu filmmaker responsible for Pokiri and who made a mini-comeback with iSmart Shankar fails so badly, it feels like a double disaster. Like that earlier scene I talked about, the entire movie is a series of ideas for scenes, ideas that are not fleshed out at all. There is a great idea for a scene where Taniya talks about how guys cannot handle a breakup. There's a great idea for a scene where Liger imagines his opponent as the man who killed his father. There's a great idea for a scene where Liger, who stammers, says people will call a stammerer a stammerer – there is no self-pity, he has accepted the fact. But because the love angle is so badly written, and because Liger's father remains an abstract concept, and because Liger's stammer adds nothing to the character, these ideas do not impact us one bit.

Liger feels like a bad 80s-90s Tamil or Telugu movie where a song or a comedy track would be randomly inserted, without any care about the overall emotional arc. The mother, the girlfriend, the coach figure played by Ronit Roy, the strain of patriotism – nothing and no one registers, and neither does Vijay Deverakonda. How can you evaluate the acting when the screenplay is so terrible and the director doesn't seem to be looking through the monitor to see reaction shots? The film feels like a cruel joke on those who think "south films are better". It feels like it's been made to say "south films can suck big-time, too". A few weeks back,  I reviewed the Karthi-starring Tamil film, Viruman . It is a generic template-movie, but at least that template was adhered to faithfully. There was no innovation, but whatever was done was done with a bit of conviction. Even that bit of conviction is completely absent in Liger .

The biggest question on my mind was how Vijay Deverakonda signed this film. Whether you like this actor's work or not, you have to admit that he tries to pick scripts that are different. World Famous Lover did not work, but at least you could see the potential Vijay saw in it and why he was interested. But what did he see in this collection of cliches? Did he not see that the film is an excruciating - and very randomly put together - mix of action and romance? Did he not sense that the Mike Tyson cameo is unintentionally hilarious? Did he not see that the conflict points are abruptly cut off by badly placed songs? The film's best bit has the coach dismissing Liger's stammer. He says it's okay if your words come late, but your punches should land on time. But even the fights are boring, all chopped to pieces and giving little sense of actually being there. Like everyone in the movie, even the editor seems to have checked out. The title suggests a cross between two magnificent animals, but Liger feels more like a cross between some of the worst commercial movies ever made.

LIGER MOVIE REVIEW CLICK TO RATE THE MOVIE

Liger is a film written and directed by Puri Jagannadh, and produced by Karan Johar, Puri Jagannadh, and Charmme Kaur under the banners Dharma Productions and Puri Connects. It features Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Pandey in the lead roles while Ramya Krishnan, Ronit Roy and others play crucial supporting roles. The film also has Mike Tyson in a cameo.

Liger (Vijay Deverakonda) is a martial arts fighter who wants to become the National Mixed Martial Arts champion, something his father failed to achieve. He joins an academy in Mumbai and trains hard but is distracted by his love interest Tanya (Ananya Pandey). After winning the event, his aim is to take part in UFC. How he manages to achieve this dream forms the rest of the plot.

For a sports drama like Liger to work, the film has to show us how the protagonist learns a sport, the downfall, the difficulties in achieving a goal, the emotional battles, what is at stake and more. However, this film misses these details. For a very long time you keep wondering what the film is trying to convey because it meanders around aimlessly.

Right from the hero introduction fight, Liger's character is invincible. Even the relationship between him and his mentor isn't established properly. The training sessions are just a few montages of Liger working out in a gym. Neither is the relationship between Liger and his mother or his girlfriend shown properly.

The film has plenty of songs and each of them are huge speed breakers for an already weak screenplay. Another issue is that all the songs are identical with respect to the mood and have no relevance to the plot whatsoever. For instance, there's a scene where Vijay Deverakonda is scolded heavily by his coach and mother for going behind Ananya Pandey, and he also regrets his actions. Immediately the scene cuts to a peppy love song.

The only saving grace of the film is Vijay Deverakonda's performance which reminds us of his role in Arjun Reddy. He really shines in the fight sequences, especially towards the climax. Ananya Pandey's role lacks any meat and only comes to life during the songs. Mike Tyson's inclusion in the pre-climax and climax scenes looked wasted and he could have been used far better.

The stunt choreography is also quite stylish and has been shot well. Except the stunts, the camerawork and the music don't offer much to the film. The cinematography is unstable, with the camera moving around without a purpose, and the music is too loud. In a few places, the music gives us cues on how to react to the proceedings on screen.

Overall, the film is average technically and below par when it comes to writing. A lot of scenes look inspired from other movies, and are predictable. This affects the engagement of the film badly. A lot could have been better, but if you're a Vijay Deverakonda fan, Liger is a strict one time watch for you. For the rest, there are literally no factors that redeem the film at any point.

Artists, Technicians Review

The story of a slumdog conquering the world in sports and overcoming all the adversaries is nothing new. Puri Jagannath's Liger story is no different. The only thing is he showcased his hero suffering from stammering problems. This generated interest initially and the initial scenes set the stage for the bigger challenges. The coach Ronit Roy refusing to train and then testing Vijay Devarakonda and then giving a green signal are routine. Ananya Pandey's entry and scenes slow down the tempo and impact the film in a big way.

The pace slows down considerably with predictable scenes between Vijay Devarakonda, Ramya Krishna, and Ananya Pandey. In between songs come from nowhere signaling the downfall and there one understands that Puri Jagannath has no story to tell and he is just beating around the bush. The end of the first half comes as a relief but viewers still hoped that the second half turns better as they await the entry of boxing legend Mike Tyson and the action sequences of mixed martial arts. But their expectations turned out to be false as the action sequences with the lady villains and the martial arts fights in the ring and Ramya Krishna's expressions and dialogues turn out to be caricaturish and amateurish. People get excited when Mike Tyson appears on the screen. But within minutes, people will be seen cursing Puri Jagannath for giving such a role to the legend and insulting him completely. Finally, the film ends with the so-called Pushpa like- climax and it disappoints everyone.

Puri Jagannath turned out to be the main villain for Liger as it has no story and the screenplay and direction turned out to be atrocious. Puri Jagannath is known for routine commercial entertainer but he scored hits highlighting the emotions. But Liger missed everything and surprising that Puri and Vijay despite having so much time turned out to be so overconfident.

Vijay Devarakonda slipped into the role effortlessly. He once again showed his acting prowess and justified that he is a versatile actor. Vijay Devarakonada impresses with his expressions and emotions and he worked hard to show his dancing skills. He enacted high-octane stunts with ease. But all his effort and makeover turned out to be nothing as the story turned out to be extremely weak. Even at times, one gets a feeling that Vijay Devarakonda is doing roles that are turning out to be monotonous. In this film, he got limited dialogue and the stutter and stammer are ok to some extent but later irritated viewers.

Ananya Pandey for all her hot looks and glamor treat in the film failed to make an impact. Vijay Devarakonda and Ananya Pandey's on-screen chemistry did not create any magic. In fact, their romantic track turned out to be the weak link in the film. Ramya Krishna played the role of Vijay Devarakonda's mother and she is ok in her role but in the second half and at times she went overboard.

Boxing Legend Mike Tyson played an important role. But his role turned out to be a caricature and an insult to his statue. Wonder why Mike Tyson agreed to do this film. Others like Ronit Roy, Vishnu Reddy, Ali, Makarand Desh Pandey, and Getup Srinu performed according to their roles.

Songs are shot lavishly and in the backdrop of extravagant sets. All the songs acted as the speed breakers dragging back the already non-existing story. Sunil Kashyap's background music is in sync with the storyline and there is much to talk about it. The editing of Junaid Siddique is ok and he cannot be faulted as the story is routine and predictable and dragged to the end and he is just helpless. Production values are good.

Rating Analysis

Vijay Devarakonda known for his attitude teamed with Puri Jagannath known for his mass entertainers and came with Liger. The film came up with the tagline Saala Crossbreed. Truly it turned out to be the crossbreed of all the mass films and in the end, the crossbreed instead of gaining the strength of Tiger and Lion as promoted by the makers, however, inherited all the weaknesses. Liger Waat or Aag Nahi Lagaya instead Pani Dal Diya. If one decides to come up with a crossbreed of all the films, the result will be like Liger with a weak story, screenplay, and direction. Saala box-office Duba Diya. Considering all these aspects,  Cinejosh goes with a 2 rating for Liger.

Liger movie review: విజయ్‌ దేవరకొండ ‘లైగర్‌’ ఎలా ఉందంటే....

యావత్‌ సినీ అభిమానుల్లో ఆసక్తి రేకెత్తించిన చిత్రం ‘లైగర్‌’. ‘ఇస్మార్ట్ శంకర్’ లాంటి బ్లాక్‌ బస్టర్‌ తర్వాత డాషింగ్‌ అండ్‌ డేరింగ్‌ డైరెక్టర్‌ పూరీ జగన్నాథ్‌ దర్శకత్వం వహిస్తున్న చిత్రం కావడం.. సెన్సేషనల్ స్టార్ విజయ్ దేవరకొండ తొలిసారిగా బాక్సర్ గా వెండితెరపై కనిపించబోతుండడంతో ‘లైగర్‌’పై ప్రేక్షకుల్లో భారీ అంచనాలు నెలకొన్నాయి. ఇప్పటికే విడుదలైన పోస్టర్లు, టీజర్లు, పాటలు​ సినిమాపై పాజిటీవ్‌ బజ్‌ను క్రియేట్‌ చేశాయి. దానికి తోడు ప్రమోషన్స్‌ కూడా గ్రాండ్‌గా నిర్వహించడంతో ‘లైగర్‌’పై భారీ హైప్‌ క్రియేట్‌ అయింది. భారీ అంచనాల మధ్య గురువారం(ఆగస్ట్‌ 25) ప్రేక్షకుల ముందుకు వచ్చిన ‘లైగర్‌’ మూవీ ఎలా ఉందో రివ్యూలో చూద్దాం.

‘లైగర్‌’ కథేంటంటే.. కరీంనగర్‌కు చెందిన బాలమణి(రమ్యకృష్ణ) తన కొడుకు లైగర్‌(విజయ్‌ దేవరకొండ)ని మిక్స్‌డ్‌ మార్షల్‌ ఆర్ట్స్‌(ఎమ్‌.ఎమ్‌.ఏ)లో నేషనల్‌ ఛాంపియన్‌గా చూడాలనుకుంటుంది. కొడుకుకి ట్రైనింగ్‌ ఇప్పించడం కోసం కరీంనగర్‌ నుంచి ముంబై వస్తుంది. అక్కడ ఓ టీస్టాల్‌ నడుపుతూ లైగర్‌కి మిక్స్‌డ్‌ మార్షల్‌ ఆర్ట్స్‌లో శిక్షణ ఇప్పిస్తుంది. జీవితంలో ఏ అమ్మాయి జోలికి వెళ్లొదని, ప్రేమలో పడితే మన లక్ష్యాన్ని మర్చిపోతామని చెబుతుంటుంది. కానీ లైగర్‌ మాత్రం ముంబైకి చెందిన తాన్య(అనన్యపాండే)తో ప్రేమలో పడిపోతాడు. ఆమె కూడా లైగర్‌ని ప్రేమిస్తుంది కానీ అతనికి నత్తి ఉందని తెలిసి దూరమవుతుంది. లవ్‌ ఫెయిల్యూర్‌ అయిన లైగర్‌ చివరకు తన గోల్‌ని రీచ్‌ అయ్యాడా? లేదా? ఇంటర్నేషనల్‌ చాపియన్‌షిప్‌లో పాల్గొనడానికి లైగర్‌కు సహాయం చేసిందెవరు? తన గురువులా భావించే మైక్‌ టైసన్‌తో లైగర్‌ ఎందుకు తలపడాల్సి వచ్చింది? అనేదే మిగతా కథ. 

ఎలా ఉందంటే.. ఈ మధ్య కాలంలో ‘లైగర్‌’చిత్రానికి వచ్చినంత హైప్‌ ఏ చిత్రానికి రాలేదు. ఈ సారి పూరీ బలమైన కథలో వస్తున్నాడని అంతా భావించారు. తీరా సినిమా చూశాక.. పూరీ మళ్లీ పాత పాటే పాడరనిపిస్తుంది. ఓ సాధారణ ప్రేమ కథకి మిక్స్‌డ్‌ మార్షల్‌ ఆర్ట్స్‌ నేపథ్యాన్ని జోడించి ‘లైగర్‌’ని తెరకెక్కించాడు. ఇది ప్రేమ కథ అని ప్రచారం చేయడం కంటే.. ఎమ్‌ఎమ్‌ఏ నేపథ్యంలో వస్తున్న చిత్రమనే ఎక్కువగా ప్రచారం చేశారు. హీరోని కూడా అదే స్థాయిలో చూపించారు. కానీ కథలో మాత్రం ఆ సిరియస్‌నెస్‌ ఎక్కడా కనిపించలేదు.

ఎమ్‌.ఎమ్‌.ఏ సంబంధించిన సీన్స్‌ సాధారణంగా సాగుతాయే తప్ప ఉత్కంఠను రేకెత్తించవు. పోనీ ప్రేమ కథను అయినా ఆకట్టుకునేలా ఉందా అంటే అదీ అనిపించదు.తాన్య, లైగర్‌ ప్రేమలో పడిన తీరు కూడా ఆకట్టుకునేలా ఉండదు. యూత్‌ని అట్రాక్‌ చేయడం కోసం బోల్డ్‌నెస్‌ని అతికించడం కొంతమేర ఇబ్బందిగా అనిపిస్తుంది.  హీరోహీరోయిన్‌ ప్రేమలో పడిన సన్నివేశాలతో పాటు.. వాళ్లు విడిపోవడం, సెకండాఫ్‌లో బ్రేకప్‌కి చెప్పిన రీజన్‌ అన్ని సిల్లీగా అనిపిస్తాయి. అయితే తెరపై విజయ్‌ని చూపించిన తీరు మాత్రం అందరిని మెప్పిస్తుంది.

ఇక సెకండాఫ్‌ ఎక్కువగా మిక్స్‌డ్‌ మార్షల్‌ ఆర్ట్స్‌ ఛాపింయన్‌ చుట్టే తిరుగుతుంది. ఇంటర్నేషనల్‌ ఛాపింయన్‌షిప్‌ కోసం అమెరికా వెళ్లాల్సిన లైగర్‌కు ప్రభుత్వం సహాయం చేయకపోవడం.. స్పాన్సర్‌షిప్‌ వ్యవహారం అంతా సాదాసీదాగా సాగుతుంది. అలాగే కొడుకు అమెరికాలో ఫైట్‌ చేస్తుంటే.. తల్లి ముంబైలోని ఇంట్లో కూర్చొని ప్రోత్సహించడం లాంటి సీన్‌తో పాటు మరికొన్ని సనివేశాలు వాస్తవికతకు దూరంగా ఉంటాయి. మైక్‌టైసన్‌, విజయ్‌ల మధ్య వచ్చే ఫైటింగ్‌ సీన్‌ అయితే మైక్‌టైసన్‌ అభిమానులు జీర్ణించుకోవడం కష్టమే. సినిమాలోని మెయిన్‌ పాయింట్‌కి ఆధారంగా ముగింపు ఉంటే బాగుండేది. హీరో నత్తితో పలికే డైలాగ్స్‌ కొన్ని చోట్ల నవ్విస్తాయి. కానీ ఫ్యామిలీ ఆడియన్స్‌ కనెక్ట్‌ కాలేరు. పూరీ రాసుకున్న స్టోరీ లైన్‌, లైగర్‌ అనే క్యారెక్టర్‌ బాగున్నప్పటికీ.. ఆ క్యారెక్టర్‌కి తగ్గట్లుగా కథనాన్ని మాత్రం నడిపించలేకపోయాడు.

లైగర్‌ కోచ్‌గా రోనిత్‌ రాయ్‌ మెప్పించాడు. విషురెడ్డి, అలీ, గెటప్‌ శ్రీనుతో పాటు మిగిలిన నటీనటులు తమ పాత్రల పరిధిమేర నటించారు. ఇక సాంకేతిక విషయానికిస్తే.. సంగీతం పర్వాలేదు. పాటలు టాలీవుడ్‌ కంటే బాలీవుడ్‌ ప్రేక్షకులు బాగా కనెక్ట్‌ అవుతారు. సినిమాటోగ్రఫీ చాలా బాగుంది. నిర్మాణ విలువలు సినిమా స్థాయికి తగినట్లు ఉన్నతంగా ఉన్నాయి.

Liger Movie Review – Vijay’s Show !

Liger Movie Review

TELUGU360 RATING 2.5/5

Karimnagar resident Balamani (Ramya Krishna) wants her son Liger ( Vijay ) to become a national champion in Martial arts. The mother-son duo move to Mumbai to pursue their life ambition. Macho man Liger initially concentrates on his career dream but gets distracted when in love with Taniya ( Ananya Panday). The rest of the film deals with the dispute between the lead couple, the World MMA championship in Las Vegas, and finally the Kidnaping event in USA episodes.

Puri Jagan takes off the film in a promising manner, however, the impression fizzles as he delivers very predictable stuff scene after another. Vijay’s characterization stands out in the first half while the terribly written Taniya ( Ananya Panday) – Liger ( Vijay ) love thread plays the spoilsport.

As in a typical sports film template, Liger deals with the ambitious hero. In the training phase, the director downplays him as an underdog. Vijay’s clash with rich counterparts and typical love track episodes are very predictable stuff from Puri Jagan and the team. Given the nationwide buzz, this film got from the beginning, this monotonous script and lackluster direction is unacceptable. Despite predictable narration, the first half is still able to watch. The conflict point between the lead couple is awful; the eventual justification for the conflict is laughable.

We can call out this film’s love track as one of the worst in Puri Jagan’s career. He has the capability of delivering engaging threads, and characterization with ease. That strength of Puri Jagan is amiss in Liger.

Once the hero Liger becomes the national champion, the story goes over the top. Liger gets an invitation to the international championship, Ali helps the cause, and Chunkey Panday sponsors the trip as such scenes are silly. By pre-climax, the film sounds like a comedy film rather than an inspiring sports one. The climax episode with Mike Tyson is a colossal waste of time, money, and energy of all involved persons. Ramya Krishna’s characterization is good in the first half, but the over-the-top antics in the second half unbearable.

A great opportunity to continue the pan-Indian Telugu film’s success streak is missed by Puri Jagan. His typical strengths are no longer visible. Maybe it is high time to get rid of his ‘ Deyyalu ‘ (If exists) and ‘ Focus ‘!

Performances:

Evidently, Vijay Deverakonda has put enormous effort in bodybuilding, to dub as a stammering character, and mainly to act in this tougher role. His fights are excellent, and so is the dance in Coka Song & Akdi Pakdi . Full marks to the hero and the director in this aspect.

Ananya Panday looks Okay but due to the awfully written Taniya role, the audience get irritated every time she appears on the screen. Ronit Roy as MMS coach is good. Ramya character is a mixed bag. Getup Srinu role fails to evoke humor. Chunky Panday , Ali play other characters. Vishu Reddy as Sanju is a good fit.

Dharma Productions & Puri Connects production values are good.

– The solid screen presence of Vijay Deverakonda

– Mass appealing dialogues here and there

– Coka , Akdi Pakdi songs

– Terrible love track

– Overaction to Ramyakrishna role

-Highly predictable sports template

– Farcical second half

‘ Liger ‘ is a missed opportunity. Vijay Devarakonda did all the hard work, and his screen presence and performance are very good. Director Puri Jagan has poorly executed the script and failed to put up engaging scenes. Vijay Fans and mass film lovers can try this film!

Release date: 25 August 2022 (India) Director: Puri Jagannadh Produced by: Karan Johar; Puri Jagannadh; Charmme Kaur; Apoorva Mehta; Hiroo Yash Johar Production companies: Dharma Productions; Puri Connects Music director: Vikram Montrose, Tanishk Bagchi, Sunil Kashyap Cast : Vijay Deverakonda, Ananya Panday, Ramya Krishnan,Myke Tyson

Liger Movie Review: A crossbreed between cringe and cliché

Rating: ( 1.5 / 5).

When a film like Liger just flings cliches at you without any real effort to make them work, all that’s left to do is try and see whether you can at least summon a laugh or two at the film’s expense. I managed a few. For one, the character’s named Liger—because his mother, Balamani (Ramya Krishnan), is a self-styled tiger and apparently, her late husband, Liger’s father, was a lion (in the MMA arena). Perhaps because she’s modelled after a wild animal, she’s shown to scream a lot, under the name of ferocity. Liger (Vijay Deverakonda) too roars—and I’m talking here about really hearing the roar of a tiger in the background. For that reason, I thought of director Hari many times in this film—notably when Liger opens up his palm and swats a rival fighter in a train. “ Ondra ton weight-u da !” I murmured to myself, in fond memory of a better template film. Liger’s weird girlfriend, Taniya (Ananya Panday) roars too, for some reason… maybe because she’s a prospective ligress?

Director: Puri Jagannadh

Cast: Vijay Deverakonda, Ramya Krishnan, Ananya Panday

Liger , the film, is about a mother and son, who have come to Mumbai with the ambition of pursuing MMA glory. In theory, there’s poverty, strife, and the absence of a father figure, but these never really get explored in this film. There’s one more challenge in the mix: Liger’s speech disorder that causes him to stammer, which this film seems only interested in milking for humour. The MMA trainees around him mock his impediment in many uncomfortable ways that the film passes off as light moments. In fact, if they sought to mock him, I think his name might have been a better topic to focus on. I wouldn’t have blamed Liger at all, had he felt justified in interrogating his mother about giving him a name that’s likely to scar him for life… a name based on a creature of which there are apparently 100 in the world. This isn’t information I googled for this review; the film shares this statistic at one point.

Bizarrely, many characters in this film, including Liger’s mother, don’t quite seem to possess the patience or the kindness to allow him to finish his sentences. Right at the beginning, someone insults him by saying, “Video is good, but the audio isn’t.” His girlfriend, Taniya, meanwhile, operates in the other extreme: She apparently finds it “cute”, in what comes through as a condescending way. In one love scene, she asks him to say her name and when he stutters before finishing, she exclaims, “So cute!”—like a zoo visitor observing an exotic animal making a strange noise.

The trailer suggested that Liger’s mother, Balamani, might come across as a feisty self-made woman, but in this film, her strength comes through only in the loudness of her voice. There’s no real focus on the person that she is, apart from generic strokes that make up a ‘strong mother’. I’m not even sure she’s all too likeable, especially given how she defines modern women as ‘deyyam’ (devil) and advises her son against falling prey to them. Even as she’s dispensing some forgettable advice, we see Taniya—having already moved from animosity to affection during the span of a single fight sequence—fall all over Liger, seducing him by modestly sharing, “Every inch of me is perfect.” Every inch, except perhaps what constitutes her mental machinery, considering that she watches Liger excelling in martial arts and wonders if he’s “Chinese”.

The film’s supposed to be about an underdog “fightaaaaa” winning big at the Mixed Martial Arts, and yet, we learn precious little about the sport—with the fights interpreted as stunt sequences in your average mass film. We learn nothing about Liger’s own strengths and weaknesses in the MMA arena, except notice that he has a proclivity for showing the middle-finger a lot and also, drawing attention to his crotch during fights. As I gave up and awaited my freedom, I sat up, seeing Mike Tyson come in from nowhere. For some reason, he’s called Mark Anderson in this film, and for some reason, he doesn’t want to let Liger’s girlfriend go free. He laughs like he were intoxicated, and he goes on to slug it out unconvincingly with Liger as well.  I am not sure I could tell you what was going on, but I drew some comfort from seeing that Mr Tyson too seemed confused. At one point, he even seemed to channelise the same agony I was feeling. Rather relatably, he exclaims, “Who the f*** are you, and who the f*** is your dad? I can’t believe this s***.”

Vijay Deverakonda’s Liger Movie Review & Ratings | Hit or Flop?

Liger Movie Review : The latest sensation of Tollywood Vijay Devarakonda spreading his wings with the film called ‘Liger’, the film has generated a lot of curiosity since it was announced and one of the reasons is Vijay Devarakoinda’s first PAN India film and once the trailer dropped by the makers and the curiosity got twofold.

Bigg Boss 7 Telugu Vote

However, the makers have promoted the film across India, and of course, as we all know how Vijay Devarakonda involves in promotional activities, Despite the fact that carrying humongous expectations the film got to release today August 25, 2022, and without any delay let’s jump into the in-depth review and find out whether the film lives up to the expectations or not.

Liger’s story narrates that Balamani(Ramya Krishna) and her son Liger(Vijay Devarakonda) hail from Karimnagar and aftet his father’ death in Mixed Martial Arts, Balamani and Liger moved to a city called Mumbai, where the duo starts a ‘Chai’ business for survival, Eventually, Balamani wants her son Liger to become a great boxer, However, things are not smooth as it seems that Liger needs a lot of money to become champion where twist arises in the tale that Balamani reveals about Liger’s father, Finally, who is Liger Father? what was the backstory of Balamani? will Liger become a Boxer ? to know all these you need to watch the movie.

Cast & Crew

Liger starring Vijay Devarakonda and Ananya Pandey played the main lead and Ramya Krishna, Ronit Roy, Vishu Reddy, Ali, Makarand Desh Pandey, and Getup Srinu are in pivotal roles the film was written and directed by Puri Jagannadh, while the cinematography has done by Vishnu Sarma, Music is supervised by Azeem Dayani, while the film edited by Junaid Siddiqui and the film produced by Puri Jagannadh, Charmee Kaur, Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Hiroo Yash Johar.

Movie Verdict

Boxing backdrop movies are very in Telugu, there are few but brilliant films like Srihari’s Badhrachalam, Pawan Kalyan’s Thammudu, However, after a long gap dashing film maker Puri Jagannadh came up with this theme, well the story starts like regular Puri Jagannadh’s hero introduction with an action sequence, later the tale shifts to Mumbai where we get to see some drama between Balamani and Liger but over a period we get bored with that drama as Puri Jagannadh is known for his hero’s characterization and thought-provoking dialogues which we can see a lot in Liger but those are not enough for a PAN India film.

The first half went with good but not so engageable as it seems like Puri Jagannadh stretched all the drama and love story in the first half only so that he can focus the whole second half with Boxing sequences and Myke Tyson scene but that seems misfired because the core emotion didn’t land well in the first half and it affected the second half too, however, if the first half could have chopped few scenes then it might work out.

Vijay as Liger is good as he shines so well in most of the scenes with stammering but he failed in showcasing a few core emotions still we should appreciate his transformation to look like a boxer, Ananya Pandey has no scope to perform, Ramya Krishna as Balamani is just brilliant, her body language, dialogue deliver every nuance added so much to the character, Ronit Roy, Vishu Reddy, Ali, Makarand Desh Pandey, and Getup Srinu does their part well.

Puri Jagannadh is known for his taking, hero’s characterization, and dialogues,  we can see puri’s mark in this film but not like his old movies, this time he mostly concentrated on the story rather than the hero, However, he succeded in engaging the audience from the start to end.

Technically Liger looks top-notch as we can see every penny in every frame, Vishnu Sarma’s cinematography is good and the film’s background score is done by different musicians from Bollywood and supervised by Azeem Dayani, songs are not up to the mark, the background score is good and rest of the technical departments did their best.

Finally, Liger is an engageable boxing drama that can be watched by every section of the audience, and for Vijay Devarakonda fans it’s a visual feast.

Liger Review

• Music Review

'Liger' hit the screens in a big way today (Aug 25). In this section, we are going to review the latest box office release.

Liger (Vijay Deverakonda) is a born fighter. His mother Balamani (Ramya Krishna) is a single parent who wants her son to become a national champion. Under the guidance of a know-all guru (Ronit Roy) in Mumbai, Liger trains to become a champion. But then, his budding love affair with Taniya (Ananya Panday) goes for a toss because of Sanju (Vish), her brother. A new set of characters (mainly played by Chunky Panday and Mike Tyson) enter the screen as the story shifts to Las Vegas.

Usually, when Puri Jagannadh is in form, his heroes too are in form. In 'Liger', the norm has been broken. Vijay Deverakonda is in form but the directorial prowess of Puri unravels. The writer-director had written the storyline of this movie years before the project took shape. But for Vijay D's image of playing angry man characters with anger management issues, Puri might probably have looked for his hero elsewhere - probably a newcomer.

There is hitting, kicking, and ominous tripping aplenty in the film. Yes, this is a Mixed martial arts actioner. But 'Liger' needed the unwavering force of well-rounded characters. It doesn't have any of them.

It starts off well. After a point, though, the film fails to manifest any fine aspects. The absence of an exciting story around the hero-heroine duo, much less the martial-arts mentor, is glaring. The hollering crowds and the commentator are depicted in an old-school fashion.

The Vijay-Ananya track suffers from a lack of freshness. She falls for him just like that. Her character comes with a tinge of Angel Arna from 'Prathi Roju Pandage' in terms of her Instagram reels obsession. But the similarities stop there. She can deliver a so-called twist as well, a plot point that would look like a twist only for someone born in the 1960s or before.   

Sunil Kashyap's background score should have borrowed its ideas from some of the latest trends in the sphere of BGM. Tanishk Bagchi-composed 'Aafat', despite its slightly awkward moans, has the potential to be the most enjoyed song in theatres. 'Coka 2.0' is wasted. The cinematography by Vishnu Sarma is high-end, while Junaid Siddiqui's editing is not as effective as Jonny Shaik Basha's production design.

The stunts (by Kecha, Andy Long) are not out of the ordinary. If they seem extraordinary, it must be because of Vijay Deverakonda's personality and charm fuelling them.

Getup Srinu is terribly miscast. Ali has a ridiculous part; it is as if Puri wanted him to be there because he is the only one who is as outdated as his writing. Chunky Panday looks good after Mike Tyson's belated, goddamned entry and not before. Such are the miracles of this film. Ramya Krishna was told 'Liger' would be made as a tribute to her acting skills; the amount of over-indulgence is quite unbearable. Makarand Deshpande has a brief role.

In terms of sentimentality, it would have been better had Liger's father been shown in a brief flashback. But if you think of it, it is good that there is no flashback. For, there is a danger that Puri might have cast Posani Krishna Murali as Liger's father. Small mercies!

'Liger' doesn't take its love story or conflicts seriously. It takes Vijay Deverakonda alone somewhat seriously. And the lack of earnestness shows.

Rating: 2.25 / 5.0

Liger Movie Review & Ratings | Hit or Flop?

Liger Movie Review : Vijay Devarakonda has been stretching his acting chops in a new film titled “Liger.” The film has generated a lot of curiosity since it was announced, in part because it will be Vijay Devarakoinda’s first PAN India film. Interest in the film was piqued even further when the trailer was released.

Despite the fact that the film has been heavily promoted across India, and of course, as we all know how Vijay Devarakonda involves in promotional activities, the film has finally been released today, August 25, 2022. Without further ado, let’s dive into the detailed review and see if the film lives up to the expectations.

Table of Contents

According to the film’s plot, Balamani (Ramya Krishna) and her son Liger (Vijay Devarakonda) are originally from Karimnagar, but now make their home in Mumbai, where they launch a chai company. Balamani’s ultimate goal for her son Liger is for him to become a famous fighter. But there’s a twist in the story that Balamani tells about Liger’s father that makes it appear like he needs a lot of money to become champion. And lastly, who exactly is the Liger Father? To what extent do we know Balamani’s history? Is it possible for Liger to join the Boxing team? Watching the film is the only way to find out this information.

Cast & Crew

Leading parts in Liger were played by Vijay Devarakonda and Ananya Pandey, with supporting turns by Ramya Krishna, Ronit Roy, Vishu Reddy, Ali, Makarand Desh Pandey, and Getup Srinu. Produced by Puri Jagannadh, Charmee Kaur, Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Hiroo Yash Johar; written and directed by Puri Jagannadh; filmed and photographed by Vishnu Sarma; music supervised by Azeem Dayani; edited and supervised by Junaid Siddiqui.

Movie Verdict

After a long hiatus, Puri Jagannadh returned to the boxing genre with this film. The genre is popular in Telugu, with a handful of excellent examples including Srihari’s Badhrachalam and Pawan Kalyan’s Thammudu. The film opens with the usual Puri Jagannadh action sequence, but the story soon shifts to Mumbai, where we see some drama between Balamani and Liger.

It seems like Puri Jagannadh stretched all the drama and love story in the first half only so that he could focus the whole second half on Boxing sequences and a Myke Tyson scene, but that seems to have backfired because the core emotion didn’t land well in the first half and that affected the second half, though if the first half could have chopped few scenes, then it might work out.

Ramya Krishna as Balamani is just brilliant, her body language, and dialogue deliver every nuance added so much to the character, Ronit Roy, Vishu Reddy, Ali, Makarand Desh Pandey, and Getup Srinu do their part well. Vijay as Liger is good as he shines so well in most of the scenes with stammering but he failed in showcasing a few core emotions.

We can see Puri’s stamp in this film—his taking, his hero’s characterization, and his dialogues—but it’s different from his previous films in that he focused more on the tale than the hero. Nonetheless, he was successful in keeping the audience interested in the picture from beginning to end.

It’s clear that a lot of money went into making Liger, and it shows: the cinematography by Vishnu Sarma is solid, the score by a variety of Bollywood artists under the direction of Azeem Dayani is excellent, and the rest of the technical departments did a fantastic job as well.

In the end, Liger is a visually stunning treat for fans of Vijay Devarakonda and an entertaining boxing story for the rest of the audience.

Liger Review – Ve…Ve…Very Bad

Ve…Ve…Very Bad

OUR RATING 1.75/5

Balamani (Ramya Krishna) and his son Liger (Vijay Deverakonda) move to Mumbai from Karimnagar to learn MMA. Soon they find a coach, and Liger starts training. It is the dream of Liger to become an MMA fighter.

Liger’s mom warns him to stay away from girls and not fall in love. The overall story is what happens when Liger falls in love with Tanya (Ananya Panday). The journey of Liger from a National champion to an International one, and what happens later, is the movie’s overall plot.

Performances

Without any doubt, Vijay Deverakonda is the mainstay of Liger. He has always been sincere in his acts, but one could sense repetitiveness. In Liger, one gets such a feeling despite the unique characterisation. Vijay Deverakonda plays a guy with a stutter. It is a simple tweak, but it brings a lot of freshness to the role. It comes with a problem, but more on it later.

The character trait and the action form the two shades in Liger for Vijay Deverakonda. If the stuttering dominated the significant portions of the first half, aiding the romance, then it’s the action plus stammering in the second.

If one were to assess the part strictly, there is nothing new in the act from Vijay Deverakonda outside the stutter. Even here, Puri Jagannadh goes overboard with it in the second half. Literally, every word is spoken that way which is an overkill and becomes an irritating factor. One might face the same problem much earlier too.

However, a much bigger thing is at play here than mere performance. It is the star presence. Liger is the first ‘larger-than-life’ star turn for Vijay Deverakonda. It is what Puri Jagannadh brings to the table and shows us a glimpse of VD’s potential. A better subject selection is the need of the day to create a bigger impact – as simple as that.

Ananya Panday is ideally suited for the part even though she looks too young. She effortlessly pulls off the bubbly and charming rich girl part, but there is nothing more to it. It is due to the cringe scenes if she still manages to irritate or her part feels irritating.

Puri Jagannadh directs Liger. His last movie came more than three years ago, which is quite an unusual gap for him. However, looking at the scale and setting of Liger, one feels it might be justified for a change.

Like most mass masala films, the story is wafer-thin and predictable for Liger. We know where it’s headed and what will happen in the end. It is that predictable.

But, first, things start on an exciting note establishing the MMA sports backdrop in Mumbai. However, it soon gives way to an utterly predictable love story. We have seen similar tracks dime a dozen in the past. A fresh pairing or a unique characterisation is an exterior garnish. What remains inside is all old as hills.

The bigger disappointing thing here is the actual ‘MMA’ sport. Puri fails to explore the backdrop properly. Many things are glossed over, and the training is over during a montage song. The high which comes out of the ‘sport’ is entirely missing here. Everything is flat and rushed.

The interval bang continues the ordinariness. But, there is still an interest because one looks forward to the sport in the second half and the journey of the hero achieving his goal.

What happens in the second half is all the expectations come true, but it all happens within the first half an hour itself. It makes one think about the movie’s point in the first place. If it’s a sports drama with a love story, then it is almost over within the first half an hour itself. But, then Puri brings in heroine kidnapping thread and Mike Tyson episode to burn the rest of second half which makes no sense.

The actual sport takes place here, but again most of it is concluded in montages. The star does his aggressive mannerism with attitude, and they are fine in isolation, but nothing comes together to make an impact. The high of the action and sport is never felt.

The narrative then shifts to the US, highlighting the cluelessness. The entire last half an hour is one big rolling the eyes sequence. It’s the kind one would reject on paper only, but we have such a big movie made out of it.

Overall, Liger is a wasted opportunity, no doubt. And the blame should be entirely taken by the actor for accepting and the director for the story. The first half is decent at best, but the second half is unbearable.

Ramya Krishna has a decent role with a few emotional scenes. But, she lacks the meat on her part to leave an impression. There are no highlight sequences considering her potential. Ronit Roy as a coach is alright, but overall it’s part of a flat track. And hence, it appears ordinary.

Ali and Getup Seenu are seen doing comedy. The former’s humour doesn’t work, whereas the latter is good in a few scenes. Vishu is fine playing the routine antagonist-shaded part. Makrand Deshpande is seen in one scene and is alright. Mike Tyson regrettably plays a forgettable role. The rest of the actors have bits and pieces of roles which are instantly forgotten.

Multiple composers provide music for Liger. They don’t have the Puri Jagannadh hit music appeal in Telugu, audio-wise. But trendy on-screen picturisation and coming in short bursts offer relief. Sunil Kashyap’s background is okay in parts, even on predictable lines.

Vishnu Sarma’s cinematography is neat. The visuals and the production values give Liger a biggie appeal that must be seen on the big screens. The editing by Junaid Siddique could have been better. By the end, Liger feels very lengthy and tiresome.

Highlights?

Vijay Deverakonda (First Half)

Vijay Deverakonda (Second Half) Not Even Half Baked Story Clueless final 40 minutes Predictability Cringe Scenes Heroine Track

A proper sports drama, especially in the second half, would be an alternative take. It would have had a predictable graph, though. The challenge lies in giving the right high, which Liger had plenty of opportunity due to its MMA background. Puri Jagannadh’s plans to provide a different twist have backfired big time here.

Liger Movie Review by M9News

Final Report:

Liger has a manageable, passable first half giving a pass to ordinariness. However, the second half takes a drastic turn on the negative side with a clueless pre-climax and climax. Liger is a massive opportunity wasted by Puri, unfortunately.

— The over usage of stammering while uttering dialogues quickly turns into a speed breaker. Its initial freshness is gone due to Vijay Deverakonda overdoing it.

— Second half started. Liger enters the ring and wins the first national championship and off to Los Angeles.

First Half Report:

A stuttering Vijay Deverakonda holds things together in the first half of Liger. He is the mainstay. The rest is typical and predictable Puri Jagannadh stuff with a flimsy storyline. A big second half is needed for the movie to take off.

— Mom and son goes to Mumbai for MMA. Liger is working as a helper and waiting for his chance to get trained.

— Show started. Liger opens his flashback, followed by an intro fight.

Liger USA Premiere updates, report shortly. Stay tuned.

Liger Pre-Release Talk:

The most-awaited mass action drama in the combination of Vijay Deverakonda and Puri Jagannadh is all set to hit the cinemas on August 25th. Interestingly their last releases came a week apart, three years ago.

While Vijay Deverakonda had a delayed release in between, Liger is the next release for Puri Jagannadh after scoring a blockbuster. It isn’t, therefore, a surprise that the movie has got tremendous hype. The budget, action cum kick-boxing backdrop and pan-India ambition have made it only bigger.

The craze and hype on the project are such that Vijay Deverakonda is looking at openings close to tier 1 stars. It means if the actor scores a hit, he would have a grosser on par with them. Liger’s success will then start the process of his rise to becoming a tier 1 star.

The songs haven’t clicked in Telugu, but the trailer has become one of the most talked about since its release. The aggressive promotions have steadily increased buzz as the movie gets closer to its release. It is reflected in the openings.

In the Telugu states and the US, Liger is getting the biggest release ever for Vijay Deverakonda. The advances are superb, and all everyone is waiting for now is the talk.

As always, M9.news will bring you the ‘First-On-Net’ Liger movie review, genuinely and honestly. Keep watching this space for our updates.

Vijay Deverakonda reveals ‘the punishment’ he gave himself after Liger’s failure: ‘I decided not to…’

Vijay deverakonda's next film is the telugu release family star, which also features mrunal thakur..

Vijay Deverakonda was already a star in Telugu cinema before he signed the big-budget pan-India film Liger with producer Karan Johar . However, the film’s massive failure was a strong blow to the actor’s career. In a recent media interaction, Vijay spoke about what changed after the film’s critical and commercial failure.

The Telugu actor, who will next be seen in the film Family Star , said that while his attitude towards work remains the same after Liger’s release, there is one particular habit that he decided to change.

Indian Express Entertainment is now on WhatsApp Channels. Follow us for the latest news, interviews, reviews, photos and more.

According to India Today, Vijay said at a press conference, “There is no change in my attitude. I have remained the same before and after the release. The only difference is that I decided not to talk about the results of my films (before release) for the next three movies or so. That’s the punishment I gave myself.”

Before Liger’s release, Vijay had made a statement saying that he would start counting box office numbers only after the film crosses Rs 200 crore. However, the film barely managed to collect Rs 48.58 cr in India and and ended its global run with around Rs 60 crore.

However, the actor feels positive about his character in Family Star. During an interview with Galatta Plus, Vijay called the role a ‘blessing’. He said, “I have been blessed with characters early on in my career, that have been remembered far beyond their time. Arjun Reddy with Sandeep being one. I believe the character I play in Family Star is another blessing.” Family Star is set to release on April 5.

Siddhu Jonnalagadda, as DJ Tillu, earned a special place in the hearts of audiences with his comedy timing and writing, allowing the makers to come up with its sequel, Tillu Square. The second installment is helmed by Mallik Ram, and Anupama Parameswaran played the leading lady. Amidst very good buzz, the movie has hit the screens today, and let’s see if it has lived up to the hype or not.

With the huge amount earned, Tillu (Siddhu Jonnalagadda) becomes an event organizer. His attitude and style doesn’t change a bit and Tillu instantly falls in love with Lilly (Anupama Parameswaran). He starts wooing Lilly from the moment he sees her, and again, he lands in a huge mess. How Tillu comes out of it forms the crux of the story.

Plus Points:

Films like DJ Tillu and Tillu Square majorly rely on the protagonist’s characterization, and the major challenge for the makers will be to get this aspect right. Tillu is one character which has struck a chord with the audience immensely, and it is very difficult to recreate the same magic. But the team passed the job with flying colors.

It is Siddhu’s show all the way without an iota of doubt. He is the main pillar of this Tillu franchise, and the audience will surely get entertained big time watching him. From the opening sequence, Siddhu grabs our attention with his one-liners, body language, and funny expressions. Siddhu has hit it out of the park with his fantastic comedy timing.

As Siddhu himself is the writer, he knows very well what audiences expect from him and plays it to the gallery. The second half is solid, with non-stop entertainment. The humor is evoked through quirky one-liners and trendy dialogues. Anupama Parameswaran is quite good in her bold role. She shared a solid chemistry with the protagonist and her character travels along with the hero throughout the movie just like Tillu Square’s predecessor. Muralidhar Goud, Prince Cecil, and other supporting cast are decent in their roles

Minus Points:

The sequel begins exactly where the first part ends. But after a neat start things slow down a bit in the first hour. The love track is packed with gags. While a few of them land well, a few don’t work as intended. This is a bit of lag in the story progression in the first half.

As mentioned above, movies like Tillu Square depend on characterization and not on the storyline. Those who expect a strong story might get disappointed a bit. A few scenes might give you a Deja Vu feeling since the story is more or less the same as the first part. The way a few aspects are dealt with looks silly. Murali Sharma’s character gets less screen time, and the final twist looks forced.

Technical Aspects:

The songs are integrated well with the narrative. Ram Miryala and Achu Rajamani did a good job with the songs, while the background score provided by Bheems Ceciroleo is in sync with the film’s quirky mood. The editing by Navin Nooli is decent. The cinematography by Sai Prakash is splendid, and the frames look colorful.

The production values are good, too. Coming to the director, Mallik Ram, he did a good job in narrating this familiar storyline in an entertaining manner. There are loopholes, but the team covered it up with humorous moments.

On the whole, Tillu Square is a neat sequel to DJ Tillu, with an abundant amount of entertainment. Siddhu as Tillu is the heart and soul of this madcap entertainer, and he will once again win over us with his amusing comedy timing, screen presence, and mannerisms. The story is pretty much the same as the first installment, and a few scenes will give us a Deja Vu feeling. The first half is a bit underwhelming, and a few aspects don’t look convincing. But the majority of the second half is filled with non-stop entertainment that works pretty well. There are hiccups, but the entertainment factor keeps the film going. Those who liked DJ Tillu will end up liking this sequel as well. Go for it.
