![]() As a dialogue writer, Shiva Nirvana shows his mark. ![]() ![]() Aishwarya Rajesh does justice to her role.Īmong the technicians, Gopi Sundar’s background score and cinematography are the best. Malayalam actress Malaa Parvathi impresses in the mother’s role. Jagapathi Babu exhibits two variations in his performance. The film doesn’t provide him a chance to generate laughs, but he tries to bring verve to the proceedings with his acting. Barring some action episodes and ‘dramatic moments’, he underplays and gives a subdued performance. While the sentiment scenes are effective, they also don’t escape looking old-fashioned.īut Nani carries the film on his shoulders. A strong influence of Kamal Haasan starrer ‘Kshatriya Putrudu’ can be seen in the first half. The scenes of Jagapathi Babu turning evil and getting a change of heart quickly, and Nani’s family members misunderstanding him remind us of 90’s movies. She can call him on the phone.Īlso, the process of the hero bringing change in the village as a government officer reminds us of many super hit movies. In the age of mobiles, this is an outdated technique. Even though the film has better writing in the later portions, the scenes are also formulaic.įor example, Nani arranges a bulb on the top of Aishwarya Rajesh’s house and gives her a remote control to press it if she feels unsafe in her husband’s house. But other characters lack the same depth. Nani also brings his experience to the board in playing this role. He has written the characterization of Jagadish with a strong conviction. The film also tries to drive the point that women should not be ill-treated or disrespected.ĭirector Shiva Nirvana has one only weapon to convince the audience with this story. Shiva Nirvana has shown his strength here. This characterization of the protagonist is the best part of the film. The hero sets out for these missions, but they are all linked to his real purpose – bringing back his brother, sisters, and stepmother under one roof. He has entrusted many responsibilities to his protagonist – unite family, protect his niece who is married off to a rowdy, bring peace in the villages, be a good officer like his childhood hero. To make it different from regular family dramas, director Shiva Nirvana has written a different characterization of the protagonist. The core theme, of course, is family sentiment. But the title and the hero’s characterization are part of driving the narration. Jagadish decides to emulate him after he grows up. In his childhood, he sees a government officer commanding respect from everyone for his good deeds. ![]() The protagonist tucks his shirt for a reason. There is also a story behind the title of Tuck Jagadish. Describing the hero’s character, his friend says in one scene: “We have seen people obsessed with caste and money, but he (Jagadish) is obsessed with his family.” The film is all about Jagadish, played by Nani, reforming his brother, and uniting his family. To put it simply, the title of the popular web series “The Family Man” suits apt for ‘Tuck Jagadish’. It is not the same blood, you see.Why does Bose not like his stepmother and sisters who raised him since he was a toddler? What plan does Jagadish have? The rest of the dream is all about this. While it seems very prudent and paints Jagadish as a realist, it is anticlimactic for a film whose sole purpose is to make us see that the family is more important than material wealth.īosu Babu (played by a tired-looking Jagapathi Babu) hates his stepmother Anjanamma (Parvathi T) because she is not his actual mother. He uses this trick even on his own family. In a scene, Nani’s Jagadish Naidu uses wealth as leverage to bring the warring members of a family to the negotiation table and broker a strategic peace deal between the parties. If one is a little too greedy, or a tad stubborn, the idea of family collapses, as brothers and sisters turn against each other and the fabric tears. Judging from the film, the well-being of a joint family solely depends on the willingness of all its members to share the inheritance equally among themselves after the passing of the patriarch. But, its very theory defeats the film’s sole purpose. It was supposed to prove that our family is everything and it is worth going through any troubles to protect it. Let’s talk about the idea of the family that this film presents.
