Jayadev marks the debut of minister Ghanta Srinivasa Rao’s son Ghanta Ravi. The cop drama is directed by Jayant C Paranji the maker of Shankar dada by Chiranjeevi .
Jayadev(Ghanta Ravi) is a sincere police officer who gets involved in a deadly murder case of a cop. Upon his investigation, he comes to know that a dreaded liquor don(Vinod Kumar) is behind all this. Rest of the story is as to how a sincere and simple sub-inspector like Jayadev tackles the mighty Don and puts him behind the bars.
Debut hero Ghanta Ravi is okay and has a long way to go in terms of acting. He has a good physique and will nicely fit serious roles if used well. With time and more films, he should do better. The heroine of the film, Malavika Raj looks quite glamorous and provides good eye candy for the audience.
Vinod Kumar plays a key role after a long time. One of the fights where the hero hides his face has been shot quite stylishly. The way the problems that cops face have been showcased in an interesting manner. Some investigation scenes have been handled well.
Coming to the director Jayant C Paranji, he has just sleep walked through the film and his lack of grip on the script is clearly visible in this remake. Jayadev is a too heavy subject for a debutante like Ghanta Ravi. He should have chosen a simple film to make his entry in Tollywood.
