Rating : 1.75/5

Lover boy Siddharth’s last outing, Jabardasth failed to reach the audience expectations. This time around, he is back with an action thriller in NH4. Directed by Manimaran, this bilingual stars Ashrita Shetty as the female lead and has hit the screens this week. Let’s see how it is.

Story :

Prabhu(Siddharth)a young guy from Anantapur, comes to Bangalore to finish his graduation. He gets admission into a famous college and falls in love with his junior Ritkika(Ashrtita Shetty). The couple spend some good times and during one of their outing, Ritika’s dad comes to know about their affair.
With the intent of keeping his political track record clean, Ritika’s dad decides to eliminate Prabhu.

He hires a professional killer in Manoj Menon(K K Menon) to finish Prabhu. As Prabhu comes to know about this dangerous plot, he decides to elope with Ritika and marry her secretly.
Rest of the story is as to how Prabhu manages to get away from the professional killer and what happens at the end.

Technical Aspects :

Except for some romantic scenes the camera work is just ordinary. If major scenes in the first half could have been edited, the film would have been more crisp. G V Prakash’s music is just mediocre and so is the background score. Only saving grace in the film are its dialogues. Manimaran’s direction is just about OK and it could have been lot better.

Plus Points :
  • Siddharth action
  • Love thriller
  • Romantic scenes
  • Ashrita's beauty
Minus Points :
  • Slow pace
  • Predictable climax
  • Lack of commercial elements
  • Twists and turns
Bottom-Line : A slow first half and not so engaging thrills go against the film completely. Watch this film without any expectations and you would be decently entertained.
