Artists and Performances :
Not just at his typical action hero, Gopichand also surprises with over the top nice guy in this Jyothi Krishna directorial.He looks tailor made for the army officer character.
He got back into his usual moustache look, which is superfine.Rashi Khanna is an eye treat in village attire.
She had quite a couple moments here and there.Anu Emmanuel looks hot in a song, which would be an eye candy for the youth.
Jagapathi Babu is typical and so does Shiyaji Shinde.Vennela Kishore tried to add some laughter.
Ashish Vidhyarthi was irritating
Technical Talk :
Yuvan Shankar Raja’s album doesn’t impress.The background was okay in bits.On a whole, music department disappoints.Cinematography is decent.
It could have been much better for the scale and subject of the movie.Editing is poor.
There are too many silly scenes which the editor could have easily trimmed or deleted.Production values are good
Analysis :
These are those days when audience are only accepting honest stories.It’s not about what your story line is, it’s about how you are treating it.Unfortunately, Oxygen is a combination of not so exciting story line and very mediocre treatment.At no moment, the story runs as a story.There is no one single actor who could make you feel like watching an intense performance in an intense scene.
Unnecessary comedy tracks add extra boredom to that.However, there are couple of moments for the masses.The interval bang is worth watch
Plus Points :
* Interval* Anu Emmanuel’s glamour
Minus Points :
* Weak storyline and narration* Inserted comedy* Villains* Music and editing
In brief :
Breath Oxygen outside of your theater
Rating : 2.25/5
