Merely attempting something different or something that is not done before for an audience is not enough it has to be the best offering as well. It can’t be ignored because the target audience is the same set.
One of the primary reasons for the same is having seen much content in a similar space where there is better work. However, the two key blocks (MP house episode and combing operation in the forest) are again executed flatly without giving the exhilarating experience. There is a lot of scope to provide thrills. The second half is better in comparison, but it is so due to the situations that the team finds in. However, the lack of team building and one-man show like progress of the narrative doesn’t let the script rise above the predictability. The good thing here is that there is no deviation, and the director goes about his way, not amping-up the commercial aspects.
The narrative involves all the clichés associated with the genre to get to the point. The first half of Wild Dog is about zeroing in on the criminal behind the attacks. The different blocks are assembling the team, finding the person behind the blasts and finally getting him back. This easy division is a problem and has a significant role in giving the movie a formulaic feeling. Wild Dog can be divided into a few segments. Vijay Varma is brought on board to lead an impossible mission to grab the terrorist who is responsible for the blasts. They are merely a blip in the narrative where the focus is more on the mission. Within minutes of the opening of the film, we get into the thick of things. The director wastes no time getting to the point. One has to view Wild Dog with this basic thing in mind. It is not about thwarting the plans of evil mastermind. Wild Dog belongs to the spy thriller genre, where the focus is on the extraction of the criminal ‘after’ an incident has been committed. However, Wild Dog isn’t devoid of them and comes with its set of problems for the genre it picks. Right from the title’s naming to the actual content, we see a different approach to avoiding the typical commercial clichés. The star, however, dominates the proceedings in a different way than the usual.Īhishor Solomon debut as a director with Wild Dog. The grey hair, clean-shaven look with a bit of scar on the face gives a raw and real appeal to Akkineni Nagarjuna. The aggression is dialled a notch above than usual but in an urban way. The look and design of the role are vastly different from anything we have seen the star do. King Akkineni Nagarjuna is back with another versatile choice regarding the character. How a team headed by NIA agent Vijay Varma (Nagarjuna) hunts down the mastermind behind the terror activities are what the movie is all about? Wild Dog is based on true incidents that rocked parts of Pune and Hyderabad in mid-2000.
