Mark Telugu Movie Review

Story:

A milk vendor Vithal (Srihari) adopts so many orphan kids and raises them to be rowdies. Markandeya alias Mark (Sabareesh) is one of them. Mark falls in love with Divya (Pinky) and starts to get away from all the bad deeds. This doesn’t impress Vithal and while he is looking to separate the love pair, Vithal gets a deal from Divya’s father to kill her. Vithal makes Mark to kill Divya and in turn he avenges her death. Then the tug of war between them starts and who wins over who sums up the story.

Analysis:

Fight master turned director Vijayan didn’t have a solid script on his hands. There is no completeness in the story. Vijayan tried to add bits and pieces together to make a feature film. Screenplay of the film is awful. Direction is aimless. Sadly, Vijayan didn’t even excel in the action department. All the fights are a compilation of Vijayan’s successful action episodes. Logic goes for a toss in this film. Mark is not up to the mark in all the departments.

Performances:

Sabareesh failed as an actor and also a fighter. He doesn’t have ease and flexible body language to carry a film on his shoulders. Srihari too looked like as if he is sleepwalking. He did this film out of gratitude and the lack of interest in him is visible in every frame. Pinky is Okay. Santhanam pulled off few cracks in the first hour. There is nothing to say about rest of the star cast.

Technicalities:

None of the technical departments came up with a reasonable job. This is a fine example of how not to make a film.

Final Word: Not up to the ‘Mark’

Box office verdict: Mark is a non starter at the box office and it won’t survive for at least a week.
