His brother Bose Babu (Jagapathi Babu) is expected to take over from his father Aadisesh Naidu (Nasser) and look after the family by keeping them together. Since a young age he has always tucked his shirts in and there’s a reason for it. He’s sensitive towards animals and extra sensitive towards his family, especially the women. He’s loved by his father, step-mother, four siblings and nieces. Tuck Jagadish (Nani) is the youngest son of the family. While initially it seems like there are parts of the story he’s willing to delve deeper into, the film suffers from wanting to do justice to every relationship and failing to do it for any of them. Review: Shiva Nirvana forgoes his usual love triangles ( Ninnu Kori, Majili) for a family drama that fails to take off. When Jagadish’s family faces the same fate, he needs to save the day before it’s too late. With the flaws outweighing the positives, Tuck Jagadish ends up less engaging.Story: Bhudevipuram has a long legacy of families warring over ancestral land and even going as far as to killing each other for it. We don't even find a reason to root for the ones that are subjugated in the village, or the protagonist, who does not get hit even once in the entire run time. This lack of innovation makes the audience not worry much about the narrative, resulting in the engagement taking a hit. When it tries to explore the romance between Nani and Ritu Varma, the chemistry doesn't quite work.

When it wants to voice out for women, the women shown in the film are not able to make decisions for themselves even once. When it tries to be a mass film, the cinematography doesn't support it. When it wants to be a good family drama, the emotions aren't established properly because the characters don't have proper arcs. But in each of them, it stops just short of what it wants to achieve, and the reason boils down to the laziness in writing. It wants to be a mass film, it wants to be a film that supports and voices out for the women, and the list goes on. In many ways, Tuck Jagadish is highly ambitious.

They're reduced to roles that just wait to be saved by the hero at the right time. Their characterization is also very weak. Two heroines who've proven their mettle in their previous films. The film has Aishwarya Rajesh and Ritu Varma as the female leads. They are amateurishly written and let down the film at its most important junctures. If at all something new has been tried in the film, it's a twist before the interval that makes you go 'Hmm, interesting!' But the dialogues following that reduce the effectiveness of the twist. The other technical aspects are okayish in nature, and there's not much to complain about. Thaman's songs especially paint a vivid image of a village in our minds with just the sounding, and it's too good. The sole positives of the film lie in Nani's expressions, and the music - Gopi Sundar's background score, and Thaman's rustic folk numbers. We've seen this trope in countless films, and this one too adds up to the list. The next morning, the important person would be dead.

In films that focus on family relationships, when there is an important death about to happen, there will be a scene where that person bonds with the hero at midnight, and they drench themselves in nostalgia. All this is completely cliched, to a point where, when a scene starts, you can easily guess what's going to happen next. Once he enters, he becomes the saviour of the people immediately - saving women from goons, and people from the corrupt ones. While there is nothing novel about the plot, there is a slight expectation that the presentation might be new.īefore Jagadish enters the village, a few cases of violence due to land issues are shown to us, explaining the issue in the village. When he passes away, there is a rift in the family about sharing the wealth, and how Jagadish solves their problems forms the rest of the story. Nani plays the role of Jagadish, the son of Aadhisesh Naidu, who is a zamindar in the village of Bhudevipuram. The film was released on the OTT Platform Amazon Prime. Aishwarya Rajesh and Ritu Varma play the female leads while Daniel Balaji is the antagonist in this film, produced by Sahu Garapati and Harish Peddi under the banner Shine Screens. Tuck Jagadish is an action drama film written and directed by Shiva Nirvana, and it has Nani playing the titular character.
