The comedian cum hero Sunil is now ready to test his luck with another  movie "Jakkanna". The movie has hit the telugu screen yesterday on 29th July, 2016.  Sunil has a complete low after Maryada Ramanna and is having all hopes on this movie..  Mannara Chopra is playing the Hereoine role in the movie..  Director Vamsi Krishna has done good work in showing the characters.

Story  :

Jakkanna is a story of  a middle class man Ganesh who always tries to help people who helped him during his problems.   But when ever he starts to help people and repay for what they have done to him, he ends up in a mess.  Ganesh ( Sunil ) is the son of a school teacher.  He develops the nature of helping the persons who helped him even a little way.  In this process, he encounters the villain Bhairaagi (Kabir Singh ) who is a popular person in the city.  He tries to change Bhairaagi and meanwhile he falls in love with Bhairaagi's sister Sahasra ( Mannara Chopra ) and tries to win her love. 

Bairaagi makes people fear him but no one knows how he looks in real life.  He hides his identity.  Ganesh keeps irritating Bairaagi with his good deeds but these actions of Ganesh starts reflecting on Bairaagi's illegal activities and so he plans to kill Ganesh.

How does he change Bhairaagi and how does he win his love with Sahasra are all the funny incident that happened is the rest of the story of the movie Jakkanna.

Performance of the artisits :

Sunil has given his best and has portrayed himself in a different way.  Sunil has done comedy after a long gap but his comedy is not that much effective.    After shedding out weight and gaining muscles, Sunil lost the comedy touch for which he is well known.  The vast change in his physical appearance and the body language have ruined his ability to generate  comedy.  He has done fights, songs and heroism-elevated scenes like in his recent movies but there is worn-out feel in his performance. 

Mannara Chopra looks and still needs to work more.  She lacks glamour and acting skills.  
Saptagiri and Prudhvi have added some extra comedy to the movie.  Prudhvi's dialogues are hilarious.  Kabir Singh as villain is OKay.

Technical Aspects of the movie :

The songs composed by Dinesh are catchy and some of the tunes suit a mass subject.  The songs have given Sunil a good scope to shake his leg on the dance floor.  The background score is normal.  The camera work of Ram Prasad was normal and there is nothing special about it.  The production values are rich.  "Raksha" Director Vamsi Krishna tried to attempt an out and out commercial subject this time.   But his script lacked originality and logic to produce money spinner.  The editing is totally bad.  

Highlights of the movie :

The comedy of Prudhvi and Saptagiri.

Some of the drawbacks of the movie are :  Routine story,  dragging screen play, full of prasa dialogues and lengthy run time

Overall analysis :

Sunil has been telling that he did not do typical hero role in the Jakkanna movie but only comedy   He told that he returned to his regular type of comedy.  There is certainly some comedy in this movie  but it did not bring laugh to the audience.  Most of the dialogues are prasa dialogues but not jokes..  The writer has written prasa dialogues from the beginning to the end of the movie.
