There was a period of panic last year when filmmakers tried to cut losses and do the safest thing possible but now everyone’s got the nuanced understanding that only protecting one’s downside is not enough. Ritu Varma is impressive and her scenes with Nani serve as a respite from all the violence.To be sure, some hesitation on Bollywood’s part to opt for direct-to-digital release for films that are ready for theatrical showcasing may stem from the tepid response to previous offerings like Gulabo Sitabo, Shakuntala Devi, Laxmii and Coolie No.1, among others, that were slated for theatres but couldn’t hold on during the indefinite shutdown last year. The star appears in a tucked-in look throughout the movie and it’s a refreshing touch in an otherwise bland film. Nani gets a meaty part, and he shines as Jagadish, and there’s an interesting story behind the Tuck in the title. The emotional family drama moments are tiring to sit through, and the film is stuck in the 1980s, story-wise, but luckily the action choreography and performances make up for the boring plot. The film also works to a large extent, despite the outdated story, because it allows Nani to shine in an out-and-out rural story backdrop, which he’s exploring on a large scale for the first time.Īlso read: V movie review: Nani, Indraganti Mohana Krishna reunite for a colossal mess of an action-thriller But Shiva Nirvana sets up quite a few familiar beats, which eventually work in the film’s favour.

Set in the fictional village of Bhudevipuram, Tuck Jagadish is the typical story of a son of the soil rising to the occasion and fighting for peace. The film, despite drowning in its own mediocrity, is still somewhat engaging. Billed as a festive entertainer, Tuck Jagadish is a full-blown masala film with every trope you can think of. Tuck Jagadish feels more like a Sooraj Barjatya film with a lot of focus on blood bonds.
