Actor Vishal has a great following in Telugu. Almost all his movies get dubbed in Telugu and they have done well. Known for his action movies, Vishal has come up with another cop drama this time. Vishal’s latest action entertainer Laati which has been in the making for a long time has finally hit the theatres. Let’s see what the movie is all about.
Story:
Murali Krishna (Vishal) is a sincere and upright police constable. He is a dedicated cop who is loyal to his job and straightforward in any situation. Despite being sincere, he gets suspended for some reason. The DIG Kamal (Prabhu) helps Murali Krishna rejoin the police force. One day, Kamal asks for a favor and orders to lathi charge an accused who is a powerful man. Murali Krishna who obeys the orders lands in deep trouble for punishing the big shot. How he saves himself from the menacing villain forms the remaining story.
Plus Points:

Minus Points:

Predictable and Boring scenes
Climax
Verdict:
On the whole, Laatti is a mediocre cop drama with an outdated plot and screenplay. Vishal is the only savior of this film. Had the direction and technicalities been better, the movie would’ve been a decent hit.
