In Ladakh, a frozen dead body is found and it was brought to Relive, a science lab that is experimenting in bringing the dead alive. Their experiment succeeds and this body gets life again.
He is Disco Raja (Ravi Teja), a gangster in Madras who is believed to have been killed in an incident 35 years ago.
A science labs experimentation of bringing the dead alive and the hero getting new life is an interesting concept.
Disco Raja opens with a visually alluring action sequence in a snow capped area much like a Hollywood movie and moves to science lab experiments. This entire 20 minute episode is gripping and adds a novelty factor. However, the novelty ends there.
As soon as Ravi Teja gets a new life, we see the same routine comedy that was seen in umpteen number of commercial potboilers. Moreover, the film shifts its tone from science fiction to a gangster drama.
The later proceedings are all about Ravi Tejas flashback as a gangster Disco Raja. Here we get to see Ravi Teja appearing in 80s costumes and singing old Hindi songs to impress Paayal Rajput. Neither Paayal gets impressed by it, nor the audiences with his over the top act. So cliched, so regular
The characters of Nabha Natesh (a bank employee) and VK Naresh are a classic example of the directors routine ideas.
After many yawning episodes, the director pulls a twist that we have already seen such a twist many of recent gangster flicks. It doesnt leave much impact either.
Director Vi Anand comes up with interesting ideas but he fails to tell them in a gripping manner. With Disco Raja, both the director and actor Ravi Teja disappoint us.
