Being a big fan of Gopichand, Pakka Commercial was a movie I could easily choose to watch. However, even though I watched it in 4K quality, the film turned out to be a disaster of epic proportions. The film started on a very promising note, but as soon as the comedy began, it completely derailed the film.
Except the well-choreographed and beautifully shot action sequences, Pakka Commercial has no redeeming features. It is, in fact, the worst Telugu movie I have seen to this date. Even Gopichand and Sathyaraj failed to salvage it. Raashi Khanna was the worst thing about this film; I know she was supposed to be a comic relief, but she overacted and was hard to watch. Even the songs were unnecessary and plain boring. The film only picked up in the last 20 minutes, but it was too late by then and as expected, the film got derailed further by more unfunny humor.
As for the screenplay, I could tell the makers wanted to make a courtroom drama, an action movie and an over-the-top comedy all at the same time, but with such a nonsensical script, their efforts went nowhere except downhill. No balance could be felt in the story, and except for the fights and the final twist, the movie was unbearable. I kept hoping it would end sooner. There was no impact or emotional connect throughout. I regret watching this film, and hence, won't recommend it to you unless you're a diehard Gopichand fan or won't mind wasting 2 and a half hours for some really good action scenes.
