Buddy Review :-
About an hour into the Telugu film Buddy, the lead actor Aditya Ram (Allu Sirish) questions his own savior complex. This reflection comes after he, as a pilot, steps in to avert disasters when a nervous air traffic controller, Pallavi (Gayatri Bhardwaj), nearly makes a mistake, and when he helps a panicked air hostess and aspiring pilot (Prisha Rajesh Singh) mid-flight. While these scenarios play into the hero-saving-damsels-in-distress stereotype, the character’s self-awareness adds a layer of depth. Director Sam Anton attempts to distinguish Buddy, an adaptation of the Tamil film Teddy directed by Shakti Sounder Rajan, with such moments of introspection. However, the film ultimately falls short, mainly sticking to familiar formulas.
First, the positives: Sam Anton preserves the core of Teddy’s story—where the protagonist investigates an organ harvesting ring and the leading lady’s out-of-body experience leads her to inhabit the body of a large teddy bear—but he refreshes the surrounding elements to add a new twist. This effort to offer something different is commendable, as it can engage even those who have seen the original. The developing romance between Aditya Ram and Pallavi, though awkwardly written at first, gains a touch of mystery as it unfolds. Their initial meeting is rather silly, and it’s hard to believe that a new, nervous air traffic controller is left unsupervised and unaddressed for her near-negligent actions. While questioning such inconsistencies may not fit well in a mainstream film, we’re encouraged to go along with it. Similarly, when a young woman collapses on a bus and is quickly taken away by an ambulance that appears out of nowhere, it raises no suspicion. Once again, logic takes a backseat.
Buddy Trailor :-
The opening sequence of Buddy is overly drawn out and explains the obvious in excess. Arjun Kumar Varma (Ajmal), who runs an organ trafficking ring in Hong Kong under the ironically named Hope Well Foundation, makes his intentions clear through his actions. Yet, he further emphasizes his nefarious role by declaring that he is not a doctor but a butcher, and he heightens the drama with fearmongering details about identity theft.
The film finds redemption with a hospital sequence featuring Pallavi and the introduction of Buddy, the talking teddy bear, which elicits empathy. A child character who is unfazed by a speaking teddy adds a touch of fun, though this character is soon written out.
As Aditya starts investigating the racket, there is potential for intriguing mind games between him and the cunning Arjun, who is frequently a step ahead. While their strategic confrontations start off compelling, the impact is diminished by forced comedic subplots involving characters played by Ali and Mukesh Rishi.
Buddy is filled with pop culture references, including nods to RRR and Kalki, as well as a teddy bear wielding an oversized gun seen in recent action films. The teddy’s jealousy towards Prisha Rajesh Singh’s character adds an extra layer to the otherwise simple romance.
By the time good overcomes evil, following an extended mid-air drama that overstays its welcome, Buddy becomes a tiresome watch. Yet, beneath the heavy layer of silly humor, there is a potentially entertaining mix of romance and action.
