Plot:
In Takkar, a young man, played by Siddharth, whose obsession with money is described. Due to his insatiable desire for more money, he encounters significant issues in life including that of a kidnapping and involving himself in a mafia unknowingly. He falls in love with a girl who is wealthy but doesn't want to be rich. The rest of the movie focuses on what he does to gain more money and how he deals with the issues in his life.
Performances:
Gunz (Siddharth) is introduced as a young, materialistic man who will go to any lengths to earn money. He is vexed with his low socioeconomic status and the insults he faces in his life at every job attempt he makes and he ends up becoming a cab driver.
His portrayal in that kind of a part was excellent. He even dons a new look and shows some action scenes to us. We get to see Siddharth do comedy, action and even romance, yes sizzling chemistry is shared between the lead pair in the film. He gave his best performance in Takkar and after a very long time, it was nice to watch Siddharth excel in things like these.
As we already mentioned, Divyansha plays a woman who is obscenely wealthy. She was given a gorgeous role in the movie. Even though her role in the movie was limited to glamour alone, she did a good job in acting in the part she was given.
In the movie, Abhimanyu Singh plays the antagonist. He initially dazzled us, but ultimately his persona became uninteresting.
However, despite being a well-known comic, Yogi Babu's humour only occasionally works in this film.
Plus points:
Siddharth
Some elements in first half
The first fight scene
Minus points:
Poor writing
Lack of clarity in execution
Poor love track and comedy
Technicalities:
The film's director and writer is Karthik G. Krish. The film has a gripping narrative, but Karthik's writing has disappointed us. There are so many subplots in the story that you lose all interest in the big picture.
The narration starts out well but ultimately loses its appeal, especially in the second half.
The only positive thing that happened to the movie was Siddharth.
By the time the movie is through, nobody would remember the music either. It is fine up until the point where you see it on TV, but it leaves no lasting memory.
Even the cinematography is antiquated. The better, the less we discuss the editing. Technical glamour is lacking in this film.
Vox Verdict:
Poor narration plays spoilsport
Rating: 1.5/5
