It begins well but turns too bland after a while. The work of the cinematographer needs special mention.īottom-line: ‘Check’ is a poor copy of Hollywood films like ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ and ‘The Prestige’. The background score by Kalyani Malik is effective. Rakul has played a part that is far away from the clichéd heroine roles that she generally gets. Sai Chand is continuously getting worthy roles and he is shining in them. There is a marked difference in his acting style which is good. Nithin has put in sincere effort to shoulder the movie. The second half and the chess games fail to provide any thrills.Ĭoming to performances, Nithin and Sai Chand both deserve accolades. But as the story moves on further with predictable jail situations are thrown, the problems start to begin.

The film begins well and engages us with the early sequences of Aditya’s life. I have no issue with his inspired ideas, but the narration is a problem here. In ‘Redemption’, we hear philosophical lines. Thus it becomes a bland version of those films. Yeleti, however, has failed to add any wow factor to this mix. He placed the basic plot of ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ in the backdrop of a chess game, and dressed it with elements of Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Prestige’. The majority of our filmmakers get inspired by the works of classics or other masters. Will he be granted a pardon?ĭirector Chandrasekhar Yeleti, highly regarded for his earlier brilliant work like ‘Aithey’, must have felt of tweaking ‘The Shawshank Redemption’ in his style. Seeing it as a chance to get a presidential pardon, Aditya seriously takes up the game. In prison, a fellow inmate (Sai Chand) believes that Aditya would become grandmaster if he plays at the national and international competitions.
