The director could have kept the suspense for longer, instead of revealing it all too soon and giving us a lukewarm climax. The cat-and-mouse sequences between Krishna and Ashok Kashyap (Ravi Shankar), the cop, is well executed, but they are watered down when family drama sets in. Shiva Tejas has blended family values into this thriller, which also expounds on a social message of how money is all important today and it drives youngsters to cross moral limits. The second half is how he plans his escape and takes on the corrupt politicians and police officers using his intelligence. But an incident lands him in jail on false charges. In the process, Krishna unravels a crime that involves politicians and the police. Go for it.The story is about a middle-class youngster, Krishna (Krishna Ajai Rao), who uses his courage and extraordinary intelligence to make a fast buck and make ends meet for his family. Overall Dhairyam is an entertaining fare that satisfies all emotions. There are decent acting from all the supporting cast that includes Jai Jagadish, Honnavalli Krishna and Sadhu Kokila. The cinematography and editing also fit the bill. There are good songs and lyrics in the film which add to the narrative.

In all these various character shades he manages to be give convincing performances. He gets to play a college student, a family person, a lover boy and an action hero. The actress is a natural talent and give a very good performance. Newcomer Adithi is a welcome addition to Sandalwood. How he manages to solve all these problems forms the rest of the story. Ajai gets caught in all thse and it becomes a run for his life. There are also serious players involved a politician, a police officer and others who have some secret to hide. There is a murder and Ajai Krishna seems to have done it for money. What are the ways the hero Ajai Krishna adopts to solve his problems? Can he remain a good person? Will he fall in to bad ways to earn money?Īt this juncture the film takes a curious turn. At the same time the son has fallen in love with a neighbourhood girl but once again it is the class distinction that crops up. In the first instance it is a family story about a poor family which is hoping that the son become an engineer and start earning money. There are three-four different shades to the story. In total it is a film for the masses as well as class. Dhairyam gives Ajai Rao a new kind of role from the usual love stories he does. The thrills are in the suspense and what next screenplay that he has written. The action is more a mind game between the hero and villain. It is not a regular action film with fights and bloodshed. The film starring Ajai Rao with Ravishankar playing the antagonist is one of the best action thrillers in recent times. Director Shiva Tejas who had erlier directed Maley with Prem Kumar is back with an action thriller this time.
