The movie is super long for a thriller with a runtime of 165 mins. There are a lot of characters and there is no character development. The heroine's role is such a waste. Arvind did well but his father Posani is such a misplaced actor for this role. They wanted to add comic relief but it all goes in vain. They should have went with a more serious tone for this movie than go for misplaced comedy segments. The movie is super long for a thriller with a runtime of 165 mins.

Directed by Surender Reddy (Suri), 'Dhruva' stars Ram Charan, Arvind Swamy and Rakul Preet in the lead roles. A guy named Dhruva, highly motivated since childhood to know what's the actual reason behind various crimes happening in his country eventually develops a knack to read between lines and becomes vigorous investigator and also a focused IPS officer. Soon after his posting, he faces a worthy challenge in the form of Arvind Swamy who is the epitome of criminals in India. How Dhruva deals with Arvind is for us to see. To put it even simpler, Dhruva is an official remake of 2015 cult hit 'Thani Oruvan'. And frankly speaking, this one is at par with the original with some note worthy improvisations. The first half feels a very little dragged in the start and races away to the interval once the villain is introduced. The drag comes due to the "Now let's drool over RCT's body" kinda intro song which wasn't actually necessary, but you know, it's TFI! Anyways, the post interval gets yet another commercial break with Rakul sizzling away in 'Pareshaanura' and how! An eye feast you see. Later the pace builds up and the game between Ram and Arvind gets more and more intriguing and ends up on a beautiful note. Kudos to Suri for his excellent improvisation in the climax with his '8' concept and also a few tweaks here and there. Rest of the story and screenplay he kept intact with the original, which seemed to serve the purpose. The dialogues were pretty good written by Mohan Raja. One of the greatest assets to the film is the cinematography by P S Vinod. The OST by Hip-hop Tamizha is also real good, no wonder they'd make real good ringtones. Coming to the performances, Rakul was really good with her dialogue delivery and was really gorgeous too. Arvind Swamy was the best of the lot. He was so good as the evil charactered Siddharth Abhimanyu, impeccable. But RCT was competitive too. There is this moment of catharsis in the second half for Dhruva where RCT excelled in his skills and that particular sequence can be considered one of the best in his career. And that's more than enough to say how well he performed. Probably the only flaw with the film would be the editing by Naveen Nooli which wasn't upto the mark, choppy in the pre climax scenes. There is this saying which goes like "A movie is as good as it's villain" and that when applied to this flick, you dare doubt the capacity of Siddharth Abhimanyu, one of the best characterized villains of all time. This is a solid hit, just go for it.

Dhruva is a milestone for Ram Charan. Performance wise Ram Charan gave his Best in this movie. Although, it is a remake this film gave a very good respect to the original movie never changed anything but while watching this movie you'll never get bored. Especially Aravaind swami gave a magic performances in many scenes. Other actors like Rakul Preet, Navdeep and Posani has done their part. Another asset for this movie is music.It was composed by Hiphop Tamizha, tunes are very good with gripping Background. Everything in this movie was perfect costumes of every actor represents their character cinematography looks very rich Finally Dhruva is a two men show

Dhruva (2016): If you ask most of the film about their best movies of 2015,they will surely have Thani Oruvan in their list (including mine).Thani Oruvan is one of the best movies with best mind game between hero and villain in recent times.When Ram Charan announced that he is keen on doing a remake with Surender Reddy as director,most of the fans of original doubted about the remake.When the teaser was out, it did feel like he tried to do something different.How is this remake??Plot: Dhruva (Ram Charan) a newly recruited IPS officer makes friends with like-minded police officers during the training period, who take time off during training period and silently go about helping police catch the criminals.Dhruva's supreme officer's daughter Ishika (Rakul) loves him but he doesn't show much interest in romance. When she confronts him and asks about his disappearing from time to time, Dhruva reveals that he has a secret hide-away from where he tries to hunt various criminals based on newspaper reports.During his chase, he figures out that one scientist named Siddharth Abhimanyu (Aravind Swamy) operates through a huge network of criminals, corporate biggies and politicians. Dhruva takes up the challenge of exposing the scientist. What happens next?Did Dhruva reached his goal of eliminating crime?Plus Points:1)Story and Screenplay: Dhruva is a faithful remake of Thani Oruvan.Except few scenes,most of the movie is a ditto of Thani Oruvan including dialogues.We can easily see that Surender Reddy tried nothing new such that originality's essence is maintained.He is highly successful in that.Screenplay of this movie moves at fast pace and we never get bored.Even the one who watched Thani Oruvan will never get bored in Dhruva because of the gripping screenplay by Mohan Raja and Subha.2)Performances: Thani Oruvan/Dhruva entirely belongs to Aravind Swamy who played the antagonist rule Sidharth Abhimanyu.The film is dominated by the presence of the movie's villain, played by Aravind Swamy. The role he gets to play is charismatic and the handsome actor has performed it impeccably. Aravind Swamy carries off his role in style. In fact, his role is colorful and his act makes it very interesting. Ram Charan gave his career best performance after Orange.He has shown great efforts to play his role perfectly.Rakul is beautiful.Posani got good role after a long time.3)Music: Hip Hop Thamizha's songs are decent but scored big with their brilliant background score.They used the original's Siddharth Abhimanyu's theme music which is remarkable.Dhruva's theme which is different from original is very good.4)Editing: The splitting of screen in second half created a huge impact in engaging us into the movie.Minus Points:1)Duration: Though we may never get bored,movie's duration seems lengthy with 2hr45min duration.So,Dhruva gives ultimate experience to those who didn't watch its original and to those who watched original can watch it again because of its masterpiece screenplay.My rating 7/10 (Definitely a 10/10 for those who didn't watch the original)
