The home minister of Kolkata recruits Tirupathi to play as Baldev to catch a gangster rescued by Baldev. Rest of the story is all about why Baldev became a corrupt cop and how Tirupathi executed the unfinished mission of Baldev.

Production began on 11 December 2013. The film's talkie part was shot in Hyderabad, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai and Bangkok while two songs were shot in Bulgaria marking it the first Telugu film to be shot there.

Plot

Baldev Sahay (Ravi Teja) is a corrupt yet valiant police officer working as an Assistant Commissioner of police in Kolkata. In an attempt to save a dreaded gangster named Ganguly (Sampath Raj), he loses his life and Ganguly is kidnapped by Baldev's allies Kundan (Ajay) and Rajeev (Subbaraju). The Home Minister Jayavardhan (Mukesh Rishi) is concerned about Ganguly as the latter is his brother. He tries to find a look alike of Baldev. In Hyderabad, Baldev's look alike Tirupathi is a happy-go-lucky guy whose sole aim in life is to become a police officer. He lives with his brother-in-law Animutyam (Brahmanandam) who is a circle inspector and every now and then, he steps into Animutyam's shoes to live his dream, albeit for a short period of time. To change his fortunes, he approaches Nirupama (Hansika Motwani) who is a trader in gemstones relating to astrology. She gives him a ring which actually has no powers. Later it is found that she duped him.

Just when it looks like his dream will never come true, he is approached by Jayavardhan to take the place of Baldev and pretends as a person with noble intentions to put Ganguly in Jail. Tirupathi accepts it and visits Kolkata. He is posted to Kalighat and impersonating himself as Baldev, he frees Ganguly from Kundan and Rajeev. He takes Ganguly to Jayavardhan where the truth is revealed and Tirupathi is severely injured. When he recovers, Kundan and Rajeev narrate the story of Baldev to Tirupathi. Kundan and Rajeev are appointed as Baldev's assistants by the commissioner of Anti Corruption Bureau A. K. Mishra (Prakash Raj) to acquire proofs of Baldev's corruption. Baldev is always accompanied by Venkat (Brahmaji), a corrupt police officer along with Kundan and Rajeev everywhere.

He meets Ganguly and makes a deal with him for a huge ransom to handover Tiwari (Uttej), the only witness in the murder case of ACP Gautham (Aditya Menon) and his family who were killed by Jayavardhan's brothers Ganguly and Chotu on the former's order. In the meantime, he falls in love with Vaishnavi (Regina Cassandra), a philanthropist who too reciprocates it later. To get the proofs of Baldev's corruption, Kundan and Rajeev conduct a raid on his house where Vaishnavi is also present, who is livid on Baldev for maligning the goodwill of Aasa Foundation managed by her. There, Baldev's uncle (Kota Srinivasa Rao) shows the trio the list of officials benefited by Baldev's corruption which also includes Kundan and Rajeev apart from other honest officers.

Baldev's uncle then reveals the truth behind Baldev. Baldev's mother (Vinaya Prasad) wants to see him as a police officer and is admitted in a hospital for an important surgery. Baldev pays 1 million as fees for the surgery but at the selection, he is asked to pay a bribe of 1 million which is most common for all candidates according to the seniors. Baldev returns dejected but lies to his mother that he is selected to make her happy. Next morning, Baldev receives posting orders and he rushes to the hospital to show the same to his mother and uncle. But his mother is announced dead as she wished to forego the surgery to make Baldev a police officer. Baldev then vows to turn a corrupt police officer to pay the money on behalf of the honest candidates who are about to join police force without their knowledge because of which they would not resort to corruption, which was the reason for his mother's death.

Meanwhile Baldev kills Chotu and arrests Ganguly with Tiwari as the evidence. When he is about to present Ganguly in the high court, Venkat sells the evidence documents for a huge bribe while Baldev's uncle, Vaishnavi and Tiwari are killed. Baldev then takes Ganguly away from venkat's custody and with the help of Kundan and Rajeev, he kidnaps Ganguly. In the process, he meets with an accident and loses his life. Tirupathi exposes Jayavardhan's corruption and evil designs are exposed to the media with the help of Nirupama and in the climax, it is revealed by Mishra that Baldev and Tirupathi are one and the same as Baldev lost his memory in the accident but was not dead while Animutyam poses him as Tirupathi after learning his mental condition to make his wife happy who is searching for her brother lost in her childhood. However the past can never be revived and thus Baldev lives forever as Tirupathi. He kills Ganguly and arrests Jayavardhan, after which he stays back at Kolkata with Nirupama marrying him.

Development

Before release of the Gopichand Malineni's directorial Balupu, Ravi Teja listened to the script narrated by K. S. Ravindra, one of the writers of Balupu and finalized the film as his next project.[2] Director cum producer Y.V.S. Chowdary, who produced Ravi Teja's Nippu in the past was announced as the producer of the film. The film was launched on September 1, 2013 at Y.V.S. Chowdary's office in Hyderabad.[3] But because of financial problem, Y.V.S. Chowdary walked out of the project. Later prominent Kannada producer Rockline Venkatesh agreed to produce the film.[4] The film had a second opening ceremony on December 11, 2013 at Filmnagar in Hyderabad.[5] Kona Venkat, S. Thaman, Allan Amin and Gautham Raju were roped in as the dialogue writer, music director, fights choreographer and editor of the film respectively and coincidentally they all were a part of Ravi Teja's Balupu. Apart from them, Arthur A Wilson, Brahma Kadali and A. Kumar Varma were roped in as the cinematographer, art director and production executive of the film respectively.[6] The film's launch made headlines on December 11, 2013 i.e. 11/12/13, a special calendar date that comes once in every 100 years.[7] The film's title Power was declared on January 24, 2013. Incidentally, it was the title for Ravi Teja’s film under Meher Ramesh’s direction which never took off.[8]

Casting

Hansika Motwani was cast as lead heroine marking her first collaboration with Ravi Teja

After Ravi Teja was signed to play the lead role, Hansika Motwani was roped in to play the female lead opposite Ravi Teja marking her first collaboration with him. She confirmed the news in her Twitter. She added "I can't reveal much about the character as it's premature to comment on it. But all I can say is that my role would be very unique and something that the audience have not seen so far. All this while, I've been playing bubbly and chirpy roles. But this time, my role is a performance-oriented one and I'm looking forward to it."[9] Apart from them, Brahmanandam, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Brahmaji, Posani Krishna Murali, Mukesh Rishi, Ajay, Sampath Raj, Subbaraju, Sapthagiri, Surekha Vani and Jogi Brothers were said to be the other vital cast in the film during the press meet held on the second opening ceremony of the film.[10] It was also reported that Ravi Teja would play the role of a police officer in this film.[11] Soon after the launch of the film, reports emerged that the team is searching for an actress for the role of the second heroine and few actresses names were shortlisted.[12] It was also reported that the makers recruited popular Hindi Television actress Ragini Khanna as the second heroine which marks her South Indian debut.[13]

But Regina Cassandra was selected as the second heroine which she confirmed later.[14] In an interview to The Times of India in early March 2014, Regina, about her role in the film, spoke "It's a big project for me and I'm quite excited about it. I like experimenting with my looks in films and I got a chance to do something radically different in terms of my appearance in Power. Besides, I have a strong characterization in the film. I hope I can pull off the role and get the audience in tune with the emotion in the film. It's going to be a challenging task for sure".[15] After watching Suseenthiran's Pandiya Naadu, Harish Uthaman was selected for a negative role in the film by K. S. Ravindra. About his role, Harish said to the IANS that he would be playing the role of Sampath Raj's brother in this film. This marked his debut in Telugu cinema.[16] It was revealed later that Ravi Teja's character is named ACP Bal Dev while Regina's character is named Vaishnavi.[17][18]

It was choreographed by Vishnu Deva and the song was shot for five days.[22] Later the film's shoot continued in Kolkata and Nagpur for a month.[23] After shooting for a couple of weeks in Hyderabad and Bangalore, it was reported that the unit would proceed to Bangkok to shoot some action sequences.[24] Meanwhile, the film's shoot continued in Hyderabad till Mid March and the next schedule started in Chennai from March 17.[25] After the team returned from Chennai, Regina joined the sets of the film on March 25 in Hyderabad.[26] After completing shoot in locales of Hyderabad, the unit proceeded to Kolkata to start its next schedule of shoot from April 6.[27] It continued later at a house set in Annapurna Studios where Manam was shot.[28] In the end of April, it was reported that the film's shoot would proceed later to Bangkok in the first week of May to shoot a fight sequence.[29] There, a heavy chase sequence was planned to be shot in the supervision of Allan Amin which was said to have costed around INR2 crores.[30]

In the second week of May, the shooting continued at a police station set in Ramoji Film City where some crucial scenes were shot. Ravi Teja, Brahmaji, Ajay and Kota Srinivasa Rao along with few other fighters were involved in that shoot which lasted for 3 days.[31] Days later, some of the crucial scenes of the film was shot at Tagore House in Ramoji Film City on the lead pair.[32] By that time, it was said that the film is in its final stages of principal photography and may end soon.[33] In the fourth week of May, some key drama and sentimental sequences were shot at Hyderabad in which the lead star cast took part.[34] The next schedule started on June 23 at Hyderabad.[35] After a silent shoot at Hyderabad, the song Nuvvu Nenu Janta was shot on Ravi Teja and Hansika at Bulgaria in the second week of July 2014.[36] The pre-planned Bangkok chase schedule started on July 22, 2014 and lasted for 10 days.[37][38][39] On July 28, 2014 a car blast happened in the film's sets while shooting an action sequence at a forest area situated 100 kilometers away from Pattaya. Luckily, none were injured and the shooting schedule completed on that day.[40][41] Hansika cut short her vacation to join the film's sets for commencement of new schedule.[42][43] A song shoot was planned on Ravi Teja and Hansika at Ramoji Film City from August 6 to August 10.[44] The song Notanki Notanki was shot there which completed on August 14 with which the principal photography came to an end.[45]

Vinayak presented the audio CD of the film to Muniratna Naidu amidst thundering applause from the audience.[54] Reviewing the soundtrack, IndiaGlitz wrote "The very title must have got Thaman give foot-tapping numbers. Added to the title, Ravi Teja is the one doing the 'power' role. So, don't expect anything less than a sure-short mass album. And this one is exactly that. With lyrics coming from Bhaskarabhatla to Yadgiri to Sirivennela to Krishna Chaitanya, the lyrics are bound to be nothing less than eclectic. The vocals are alright, with none other than Ravi Teja and Chakri leading the pack. Adnan Sami and Karthik deliver a dekko as well. The album is a package for the fans of Mass Maharaja, who wouldn't demand musical richness when it is their favourite hero who is jiving."[55]

Critical Reception

Power Got Mixed Reviews . Sify wrote "There is nothing novel about the movie. We have seen each scene before. It is a concoction of several movies. Power doesn’t come with the expected punch. Ravi Teja and some comedy scenes are plus points. The second half of the film is a let down. Overall, a regular commercial potboiler."[78] Hemanth Kumar of The Times of India rated the film 3 out of 5 and wrote "Directed by K S Ravindra, the film gives ample scope to Ravi Teja to flex his muscles, besides bring the roof down with his gags. For most part of the film, the seriousness with which he approaches both his characters keeps the proceedings going. And truth be told, it's a treat to watch him play the role of a serious cop, just like he did in Vikramarkudu" and added "It would seem that Ravi Teja cannot go wrong when he's in great form and his exuberance more than makes up for all that might have gone for a toss in the film. However, when it comes to his latest film, Power, there's a catch. The film is a fine example to show what happens when an immovable object meets an unstoppable force. And the immovable object in this context is quite clearly the story, which is bogged down by the burden of multiple subplots it tries to carry".[79] Suresh Kavirayani of Deccan Chronicle rated the film 3 out of 5 and wrote "He chooses a script which is an old formula, but he comes up with loads of entertainment. Though some of the scenes are typical film kind of, like wearing somebody’s khakhi uniform and solving cases like a police, but in the end it’s all entertainment. There are a few loopholes, but finally, ‘Power’ is a mass masala film with action, entertainment and glamour. It’s a typical Ravi Teja film."[80] Shekhar of Oneindia Entertainment rated the film 3 out of 5 and stated "Power is a powerful entertainer made to impress the fans of Ravi Teja. The film lacks freshness in story, but Bobby's amazing screenplay keeps you engrossed in the film. Apart from Mass Maharaja, Brahmanandam and Saptagiri will also rock the viewers. It is a paisa vasool entertainer for Ravi Teja fans."[81] IndiaGlitz rated the film 3 out of 5 and summarized "A promising film that has borrowed ideas from here and there. But the Kona effect and Ravi Teja's powerhouse act deliver the film. Comparisons with other films can harm the movie's prospects a bit, though one is sure to like it more than any of RT's movies in recent times".[82]

In contrast, Sridhar Vivan of Bangalore Mirror rated the film 2.5 out of 5 and wrote "To sum up; logically, the movie looks 'powerless', while comedy-wise, it is definitely 'powerful'. So, for those planning to watch a movie without any logic and purely for entertainment, then this may just be the right choice."[83] Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu wrote "It takes a special kind of nonchalance to package a film with a string of sequences, one illogical than the other, and lull the audience into believing that they are being entertained. Power tries hard to amuse and has a hangover of Kick and Vikramarkudu. Ravi Teja does his part well but the film itself offers nothing new" and remarked "Absurd fun, repackaged. ‘Power’ is only in the title."[84] Behindwoods rated the film 1.75 out of 5 and stated "Astute editing, lustrous cinematography and Ravi's screen presence come as a relief to an easily predictable story with a slow screenplay. Brahmanandham's gimmicks, Ravi Teja's cute expressions and a relatively long story to narrate with a pacifying twist towards the end do grab our attention, but, it's too late."[85]

Box office

The film collected a share of INR51.4 million (US$820,000) at the AP/Nizam Box office on its first day making it the biggest ever opener in Ravi Teja's career. The film collected a share of INR38.6 million (US$610,000) on its second day.[86] The film earned a share of INR150 million (US$2.4 million) by the end of its first weekend at the worldwide Box office out of which INR120 million (US$1.9 million) was earned at AP/Nizam Box office.[87] The film's trade was affected on 19 September 2014 due to the release of Aagadu but it picked up from the next day. The film collected INR163 million (US$2.6 million) at AP/Nizam Box office, INR40 million (US$630,000) from other areas including Karnataka, the rest of India and the overseas markets taking its global first week total to INR203 million (US$3.2 million).[88] By 28 September 2014, the film collected a share of INR233.5 million (US$3.7 million) at the worldwide Box office and was declared a Hit.[89]
