One of the biggest movies that has skipped the theatrical window this year is Nani starrer “Tuck Jagadish”. The film made it to the headlines for various reasons. It has also created a lot of buzz.

Director Shiva Nirvana and Nani coming together is the reason for the high expectations of this film. Has it met the expectations? Let’s find out.

Story:
In a village named Bhudevipuram, Adiseshulu Nayudu (Nasser) is a well-known landlord. His dream is to see his village free of killings and vengeance.

Nasser has three sons and two daughters. Elder son Bose (Jagapathi Babu) and younger son Jagadish Naidu (Nani) were born to his first wife, but the rest are from his second wife Arjunamma. 

Although they live happily together as one close-knit family, Bose shows his true colors after the death of their father.

Bose refuses to give them any part in the properties and throws them away from his house. Furthermore, Bose joins hands with their rival Veerandra Naidu (Daniel Bajali). 

What will Jagadish do to unite their family? What is the secret that Jagadish has been hiding from them?

Artistes’ Performances:
Nani has come up with another winning performance. The role of a guy who is obsessed with binding his family together is clichéd, but the characterization is a bit different from the regular trend. As always, he gives his best in sentiment scenes. His performance in the last 30 minutes is terrific.

Ritu Varma as his girlfriend is simple and cute. Aishwarya Rajesh gets an important role as well.

Malayalam actress Malaa Parvathi in the role of mother adds strength to the sentiment scenes.

Jagapathi Babu shows variation in two shades of his character. The other actors have played in their usual selves. 

Technical Excellence:
Two songs are good. Gopi Sundar’s background score has elevated the mood in many places. Prasad Murella’s cinematography and artwork are appropriate. The action stunts are typical. Dialogues are good. Shiva Nirvana's mark can be seen in the dialogue writing.

Highlights:
Pre-interval sequence
Nani’s acting
Some family scenes

Drawback:
Clichéd moments
