Dhruva makes his lifetime mission to become a cop and eliminate criminalswhen he is 15yrs old.He forms a group of likeminded friends when he joins police training academy. Siddharth Abhimanyu(Arvind Swamy) is an young and top scientist in India who has a criminal network which he operates clandestinely. Dhruva who is looking for a bigger target stumbles upon the secret criminal activities of Siddharth. Rest of the story is all about how they outsmart each other before Dhruva winning the duel.
Analysis: I haven’t seen Thani Oruvan and I haven’t bothered to know about story as well. Hence whatever I have written here is from a fresh perspective. Dhruva is an unique and intelligent tale where hero and villain don't want to kill each other. They just want to kill the spirit in each other. We have a few films in the history of cinema where audiences fall in love with the villain character(ex: Joker in The Dark Knight). Plus points of the film are story, screenplay, performances and technical values. On the flipside the runtime is lengthy and there are a few scenes that appear dragged. Dhruva is one such a kind of film that kills the familiarity and routine(except for a couple of love-related scenes with heroine and a bit of comedy projected scenes through Posani character). Making an unfamiliar film and keeping it engaging throughout is a rare feat and Surender Reddy deserves an applause for it(though it’s a remake). Solid story, engaging screenplay and riveting performances make Dhruva an intelligent thriller which is at par with any of Hollywood or Korean films(thanks to Mohan Raja). Go and watch it!
