Analysis:

Deva Katta who is otherwise known for his intense subjects with sincere and authentic storytelling has in fact proved his mettle by remaking Tamil movie Arima Nambi. Except for few changes, he adapts the original to Telugu nativity without marring the beauty of the film. For the sect of audience who haven’t watched the original Tamil version, Dynamite appeals to be a simple, engaging thriller without much of routine conventional commercial stuff. 

The story that kicks off as a petty romantic date got enough twists and turns to keep you engaged enough. Without much of comedy, punch dialogues, rosy songs, out-of-the-word stunts etc, Dynamite manages to keep you at the edge of your seats. His characters are simple with compelling performances, dialogues precise and narration racy. With a quick intro of characters and the conflict point, the kidnap and murder mystery slowly unfolds. Since it is an action thriller more than a suspense drama, the dynamic nature of the film might take away the boredom factor (but if you are our beloved formula entertainment lover, it could be a disappointing ride). You may not have remarkable surprises or exciting highs in the film but the performances and the pacy screenplay pulls off the wagon. However, few action sequences are exorbitant (oops…commercial), the cinematography isn’t great, the inclusion of the Tamil track of JD with Telugu dubbing and the couple of songs that was coerced into this water-tight screenplay can be uncomfortable. Even the pre-interval segment is sober and predictable but the second half scores well. Especially, the climax segment is quite convincing.

In a nutshell, Dynamite is a whiff of fresh air to the Telugu audience who wish to watch an out-of-the-box edgy thriller.

Merits:
- The performances of Vishnu, Pranitha, JD, Nagineedu & others.
- A different storyline with real characterization.
- The simple, predictable yet engaging and effective narration.

De-merits:
- Lack of enough comedy relief.
- Songs look enforced.
- Lack of regular commercial entertainment might disappoint the masses.
