Vijay (Nithin) is a nonchalant boy, who feels that he had some social responsibility and wants to serve the society by becoming a police officer. He prepares well for the purpose by toning up his body. His parents (Tanikella Bharani and Sana) and sister too encourage him. In order to marry their daughter, his parents first plan to get him married and post his details in a matrimonial website. Janu (Mamata Mohandas), who was brought up by her grandfather Pingali Venkata Ratnam (Ravi Kondala Rao), a freedom fighter, happens to see his details. When Vijay’s parents contact her, she happily agrees to the alliance but pleads for some time as her grandfather was in hospital. Janu, who was working for a bank goes to a shop belonging to Vijay’s friend (Shashank) for inspection before sanctioning loan and finds Vijay there. Vijay is unaware of Janu but the latter recognises him but keeps it secret. She sanctions the loan. On the other side of the coin, the city is in the hands of two land mafia dons. While Devaraju (Asuthosh Rana) has a political clout and holds the post of MLA, the other one Pandu (Supreet) remains a land grabber. Moreover, Devaraju was a little intelligent and in a land settlement case, chops the right hand of Pandu. So the latter craves to take revenge against Devaraju. At this juncture Devaraju grabs a vast 500 acre and in the city. In fact, the land belongs to Pingali Venkata Ratnam, who was a Gandhian. He donates the land to the people to construct houses. Not knowing that Pingali Venkata Ratnam is alive, Devaraju manages to prepare fake documents and grabs the entire land. A part of the land is also owned by Vijay’s family. The land oustees could not do anything as they are well aware that Devaraju is a land shark. So the youth, led by Vijay decide to teach a lesson and get back the land? Was Vijay able to achieve the target of taking back the land? How Vijay’s friends helped him in achieving the victory? Did Vijay personally attack Devaraju? Did Vijay accept the love of Janu? Answers to all these questions form part of the remaining film.
Nithin looked like a he-man with a well-built body. But all his efforts to show manly figure went waste as the director failed to make any effort to boost his hero image. He showed good ease in dance in one song. Mamata Mohandas is just okay as heroine as she did not get a chance to show off her glamour and at the same time had not much scope to perform as well. But, she excelled in a teasing scene with the hero. Shashank, though played the other hero’s role, remained just a sidekick to the hero and there is not much scope for showing any kind of heroism. Even his love and romance with Sindhu Tulani were also not properly established. The director chose to ignore him instead of keeping a duet with the heroine. Sindhu Tulani is okay as a private television channel reporter. It was Asutosh Rana, who looked promising as villain. His villainy reminds the audiences the performance of Prakashraj to some extent. Tanikella Bharani, Sana, Duvvasi Mohan are okay in their respective characters. After a long time, Nutan Prasad and Ravi Kondala Rao appeared on the big screen.
As far as technical crew, none of the departments appeared to have worked whole-heartedly. Chakri, who gave fantastic tunes for several films, totally did a rotten job this time as none of the songs were either melodious or foot-tapping. With the music playing foul, the choreography of songs was also not impressive. All the song sequences turned intervals and became useful for the smokers to have a fag. Action scenes choreographed by Ram-Lakshman appeared average with no stylish taking. Though the hero had worked hard with a well-built body, the fight masters did not make the best use of it. When it comes to direction, the director did not concentrate on boosting the image of the hero which he lacked in recent times. Moreover, the screenplay was also haphazard and the audiences groped in dark in various scenes. Though he tried his best to maintain some suspense, it did not work out well. The planning of the hero in tilting the tables in his favour were not established properly and the average audiences could not understand what is happening but to look at the scenes silently.
When the hero is craving for a success, the director should first make efforts to elevate his image by creating some scenes which creates a strong and long-lasting impression in the hearts of the audiences. Moreover, Nithin had kept high hopes on the film as the film is coming from a big banner like RR Movie Makers and from a successful director. But all his hopes went waste as none of the technicians fulfilled their job properly. Especially the improper mix of different elements like love, romance, action and sentiment did not gel properly in the subject. Like the success, even the failure would come from the teamwork. This was proved once again in case of ‘Victory’.
