He is fighting for a cause and he has personal connection. Particularly, there is honesty in Vikram’s motive and operation. It is the second half where the real story lies in. As the story progresses and dots get connected, it gets better. There is a dialogue of Nag in the film where he says he wouldn’t had reached the stage hadn’t his father took his profession personally. But it doesn’t add any value to the film despite the backstory. Vikram has a haunted past involving mental trauma. The problem with The Ghost is in its first half where it is all hastily set-up for the bigger challenge, but when it does, it turns out to be ordinary, nothing exceptional. Barring some gunfire scenes, it has no appealing action blocks either. On the surface, Praveen Sattaru’s idea of The Ghost seems pretty decent. Yet, the film has subtle treatment that makes it sustain for large part. From characters to body language to their characterisations, there is typecast and cliches. In fact, it has several nostalgic moments where it reminds us some erstwhile RAW/cop films. The Goa song should be scissored mercilessly since it obstructs the flow.įirst things first, Nagarjuna’s The Ghost is not novel in terms of its plot. Cinematography and background score elevate the film. He couldn’t go deep enough that is required for such RAW films. Director Praveen Sattaru offers not fully developed film. Though nostalgic, the best part of the writing is it doesn’t deviate from the main story. The Ghost gets decent marks with the writing. Praveen got good cast on board but he couldn’t offer roles with depth. Srikanth Iyengar gets another typical role. Manish Chaudhari as villain leaves no impact. Aniksha Surendran gets meaty role as the film revolves around her character and she does justice to her part. Gul Panag as Nagarjuna’s estranged sister gets noticed with her acting. Vikram and Preeti’s relationship look unconvincing where she disappeared initially and later lands up in the latter half. She is glamourous and also fights goons when the protagonist needed. Sonal Chauhan as Preeti is alright despite limited on-screen presence. Nag carries off the film on his shoulders. But his role Vikram in The Ghost is different from his previous ones. Did he save them? Did he find the culprits? Vikram is on a mission to save Anu and Aditi who’re chased by their rivals for their company Nair group. Anu (Gul Panag) and her daughter Aditi (Aniksha Surendran) are important to Vikram since he was raised by Anu’s father (Jayaprakash). After getting retired, he learns that his closed ones in India are in danger. He is called The Ghost by the crime syndicate. Vikram (Nagarjuna) is an interpol officer who wiped out the underworld mafia in Dubai.
