Shouryam is hitherto another flick of hero Gopichand with the usual stuff like violence, action and some romance entrenched in it. The mass element is also lingering in some parts of the movie and the twist is that this time the film has a brother sister tinge added to it. The story of this film can be called as a mixture of Gopichand’s earlier films such as Lakshyam, Ranam and Ontari. But here the hero plays the role of the police officer.

Story

Vijay (Gopichand) and Divya (Poonam Kaur) are orphaned children of a Goon. The children are left with no one to be taken care off as the father meets a traumatizing death. Since, the father of the kids used to harass the normal public they eschew the kids since their father used to harass them.

Since, Vijay is in a position that he cannot feed his younger sister he discovers that a missionary father adopts the orphaned kids and provides them with meals and clothes. So, he decides to lie to the missionary father that Divya happens to be an orphan and gives her to the father of missionary. As a result, Divya misunderstands Vijay and develops a negative feeling about him in her heart.

As time passes in a flash in a typical cinematic style Vijay turns into an honest Assistant Commissioner of Police. This theme of hero becoming an ACP is quite common these days. As if it is like a guy passing out a BA degree. Coming back to the story as a strict and honest police officer Vijay is against the evil deeds in the society. He finds out the cause which happens to be Siva ram Goud. The evil activities of his are totally destroyed and the villain is left penny less with his financial support devastated. So, Siva ram Goud plans to take the revenge on the police cop. He tries to figure out Vijay’s weaknesses and then discovers that he has a sister who was adopted by a Christian missionary around 15 years ago.

Vijay searches for his sister divya and learns that she is studying in Kolkata. Then Vijay traces his sister and her residence in Kolkata and leaves in order to meet her. The villain follows the hero.

Swetha (Anushka) who happens to be a friend of Divya happens to incidentally meet Vijay. In order to please his sister that his deed which he did 15 years back was justifying, Vijay enrolls himself as a student and all of them meet in the college.

Then the romance element, sister sentiment and the villainous acts run equally and in parallel to each other.

The climax of the film is about how Vijay saves his sister from the goons and how he manages to win his sister back along with his love?

Performances

Gopichand plays the role of an honest cop and his body language is well suitable to the character. His razor sharp eyes and his flexible acting skills to bash up the goons are awesome. His acting and action skills need no mentioning. But his dancing skills must be improved a lot.

Anushka’s role is limited and her role is to romance with the hero in the latter half. The sexy and gorgeous lady has once again proved that she has a body which is seductive and sizzling. Her eyes in some scenes intoxicate the audience and her costumes are as usual a factor to heat the male pants in the theatres.

Poonam Kaur who is well known for her glam doll role has done a decent job as a sister. She suits her character aptly as she is young and chirpy.

Manoj K Jayan excels as a villain. His role is well carved and convincing.

Comedy track is lead by Dharmavarapu, Ali, Raghu Babu and Krishna Bhagan. From the comedy pack only few jokes end up tickling the audience.

Mani Sharma Music is average and tow songs are peppy to be danced in the theatres. As usual Anushka’s presence in the songs makes some meaning to them and her gyrations to the dance numbers add spice to the song.

On the whole the director has managed some stuff in the second half of the movie. But Shiva (Director) should have brought the same second half pace in the first half. With Anushka addition to the film, Shouryam us going to make a 50 day mark in the Andhra regions. With the college season on the peak and the dussera holidays coming down this film may pick up its pace on the weekends.
