Shadow Raghubabu(Nagababu) is an undercover journalist. To know the details of Mafia operations in India, he joins in their group and prepares a report named ‘Shadow.’ He gives it to his brother-in-law Surya to get printed at a press. Press owner Sayaji Shinde sells it to mafia. Mafia leader (Aditya Pancholi) kills Raghuram. In this situation Raghuram’s son Rajaram (Venkatesh), wife and daughter (Madhurima) split away. After growing up, Rajaram starts killing mafia leader, his men and the police officer (Nagineedu) who helped mafia. Meanwhile, psychologist (MS Narayana) and his student Madhubala (Tapsee) meet him. On the otherside ACP (Srikant) tries to curb mafia activities and catch Shadow. When Shadow enquires about him, he gets to know that ACP is his brother-in-law. From then on, he closely follows ACP and saves him. Can’t you guess, which way a routine story like this will go? It ends by punishing the guilty..

irected by Meher Ramesh, 'Shadow' stars Venkatesh of 'Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu' fame as a mafia don and essays Aditya Pancholis debut in Tollywood. Pancholi is doing what he does best and plays a villian. The film also stars Tapasee Pannu, Madhurima, Srikanth, M.S. Narayana, Nagendra Babu, Srinath, Jayaprakash Reddy, Mukesh Reddy, among others. Paruchuri Kireeti has produced this film under the United Movies banner and S. Thaman has scored the music for 'Shadow'.

I already had low hopes on the movie, given Meher Ramesh has directed the movie after the disaster 'shakti'. His previous debacles can only be attributed to his poor directional abilities. The director proves yet again that 'style' without 'substance' does not have any effect on the output of the film.

Venkatesh tries his best given the limited scope to perform, after a long time Tapsee gets a reasonable time on the screen and she performs well. She danced with a lot of passion in the item song. M.S Narayana and Jaya Prakash Reddy and other comedians tried their best to evoke some laughs despite a poor comedy track.

Story wise there is nothing novel, just that the treatment should have been different. Movies with similar story lines 'Baadshah', 'dookudu' etc., worked because of excellent comedy mixed with the story line, that is where Meher Ramesh suffers, some of his comedy sequences are extremely irritating and test your patience. Sentiment does not work out and is comic at times.

Meher Ramesh tried to use the excellent histrionics of venkatesh in comedy and sentiment, but he ended up with a half cooked script and those scenes did not come out as expected and it all backfired.

Production values of the movie as we can see are high, but the producer wasted money in a substance-less movie.

Music by Thaman is peppy and goes well with the story-line, in fact songs are the only ones which are decent in the movie.

Probably it's the worst movie in Venkatesh's career, all credit to Meher ramesh.

Rated 2.3 4
