Direction by Surender Reddy is good, but I wish the screenplay could make up its mind whether it wanted the movie to be an action thriller or a light action comedy.Ram Prasad and Lakshman "Lucky" Prasad are brothers and polar opposites. Music by Thaman is strangely bad for an Allu Arjun movie, apart from the cinema choopistha song-none of the songs are good on the ears. It is Brahamanandam as Kill Bill Pandey who actually steals the show-his scene with Siva Reddy is the best in the mo vie-especially the dig at Prabhas. Ravi Kissen does the same thing which all tollywood villains have been doing, yell and yell and then drop down dead. Saloni is cute with the telangana accent and gives out a good performance especially in the running sequence with Allu Arjun. Shaam does the same boring act for the umpteenth time, sad to see such a good actor being typecast. Sruthi Hassan as Spandana is a treat to watch in the first half an hour of the movie-she is amazing in the bank robbery sequence and also gives us a glimpse of her tapori side in the "cinema choopistha mama" song. He is excellent in the climax sequences and during the interval bang sequence. Allu Arjun plays the same tried and tested role to perfection and his "DEVUDA!" is good and is used in the right situations.
Apart from the sibling rivalry and Sruthi Hassan's characterization, the movie has nothing new to offer, but the way the screenplay works its way around the minor nitty gritties is what makes the movie interesting. A showdown lands Siva Reddy in a hospital and he vows revenge on Lucky. Lucky bays for revenge and does something which causes him to cross paths with Siva Reddy (Ravi Kissen) a rowdy sheeter turned politician. Lucky changes her and makes her a lady version of himself and at this point Ram puts a spoke in their love wheel. Lucky falls in love with Spandana (Sruthi Hassan-at her best) a girl with a terminator hangover and has a very good control on all emotions.
Ram does everything better and is a successful police officer and Lucky does nothing worthwhile and lives off his brother and parents. Ram (Shaam) and Lakshman A.K.A Lucky (Allu Arjun) are brothers whose sibling rivalry is something which would put cain and abel to shame and give them a massive inferiority complex. The best part of the movie is it is the first time ever that a major telugu star has underplayed his role in the climax sequences and let comedian Brahamandam take center stage and letting character actor Rajeev Kanakala do something which is unthinkable in a telugu motion picture-nope no spoilers from me sorry. Race Gurram (Race Gurram) is an entertaining movie, if you enter the auditorium with a clear mindset that you are going to watch a comic film and not a movie which takes itself too seriously.
