**PROLOUGE**Let me warn you that this is not your average t-wood action film. If you are bored to death by those run-of-the-mill so called action flicks, THEN YOU ARE IN FOR A TREAT. Panjaa is a stylish crime-action flick that hits hard on the age old question – Loyalty or Moral Values?**PREMISE**Jai (Pawan Kalyan), an orphan, is raised by Bhagawan (Jackie Shroff). Now he is the most able and trusted man in Bhagawan's Gang. Munna, Bhagawan's son, kills Jai's childhood friend, Jahnavi (Anjali Lavania). Jai avenges by killing Munna. This ensues a war between the godfather and his prodigy. >> OK, let's get real, it IS an old plot. BUT in this film it gets a totally new, if not groundbreaking, treatment and tempo.**ACTION FLICK WITH AN ATTITUDE**The plot is important than anything else. Everyone is a player with their own expectations and misgivings. The film doesn't fall prey to prerequisite commercial elements or hero specific commitments. Unnecessary comedy tracks and other crap are done with.**CHARACTERS CLOSE TO REAL LIFE**The characters have life in them and contribute to the plot. A Don who have to survive his crumbling empire, his son at clash with his ego and reality, a damsel hopelessly in love, our guy Jai searching for a comfort in his lonely life… This may be an action film, but you will encounter a bit of soul in it.**TECHNICALLY AWESOME**P.S Vinod (cinematography) deserves applauds for developing an immersive atmosphere in the movie. The action sequences are smart, powerful and enjoyable if not real. :) This movie will take you places and you will believe in them…**MUSIC**Yuvan Shankar Raja's music is a big asset to the movie. He composed an elegant score for the movie. Instead of cutting through the movie, the songs are mostly situational.**CONCLUSION**Don't expect childish action sequences or punch lines, watch the protagonist working his way through the gangs in style and with wits. This film never claims a new plot or anything, but let the film show you a new and refreshing treatment to the plot.

The Pros in the movie are the Pavan's New Look, Direction, Screenplay and cinematography i.e Technically Movie is excellent. Background Music by Yuvan Shankar Raja is Excellent and music is Good.

More often we see this kind of story always...blah blah blahMovie is based on a single line"Never make the mistake of expecting help from the person you helped and not helping the person from whom you got the help"It is the struggle of the guy to choose between the savior and his love which has been portrayed greatly This is the story of a guy who was helped by a normal person who turned as a big don in the later years.Pawan kalyan enacted the role called JAI.He is just like the shadow of DON(Character played by Jackie Shroff).What ever the DON says Jai does it.... JAI's character has value for humans...Ater the death of his mother and sister no one really treated him with love.All he got is materialistic love.Jai has two friends played by Anjali Lavaniya and ALI. Jahnavi(Anjali lavaniya) has crush on Jai,But he never thought of her in that way since they grew together as orphans.Even though he got friends he needs some one to care about him.One day he finds SANDHYA(Sarah Jane Dias). Here comes the intro of the sadistic son of the don, his name is MUNNA He really made us to hate him on screen through his behaviorMovie has Betrayals,twists at the right time.. Why the battle started between the DON and his shadow must be seen in the movieFighting sequences are one of the best highlights for the movie Picturisation of the songs are indeed fab. Especially ELA ELA and Veyyira cheyyi veyyira. Cinematography by P.S.Vinod is like the ones you have never seen in a TELUGU CINEMA.Director vishnuvardhan really managed to maintain the tempo. A little drop in second half broke the tempo of the 1st half. But put back into the movie with action sequences in the 2nd half Brahmanandam comedy is good it did not sidetracked the story...Lastly, It is the movie with style,and PAWAN KALYAN
