Story
Story starts with a gang robbery and later the head kills the other people involved in the robbery and runs off with the money. Then the story moves to Saraswati (Lakshmi gaaru), An old women and a grandmother of one of the person who is killed. She forms a group of 5 and all of them approach Pencil Pardhasaradhi (Nani), A Famous Revenge writer for help in taking revenge on a Person who killed their dear ones. Pardhasaradhi is writer who copies ideas from the hollywood movies and writes them in telugu like Kill bill is written as Rasidhuni Champi. So how this famous revenge writer helps the group to take revenge? Will the Revengers Succeed? Will the Gang Leader achieve the goal? This forms the rest of the story.
Artiste Performance
Nani as Pencil Pardhasaradhi steals the show. His comedy timing is amazing. The way he plays the character will make you fall in love with it. Even in the emotional scenes too he has given a stellar performance. I would say this film yet again justifies why he is called a "Natural Star"
Priyanka Mohan looks beautiful. Though it's her debut she plays the role very with ease.
Karthikeya as the bad guy looks perfect for the role. He has done a good job.
All the gang members have done justice to their roles. Lakshmi gaaru and Saranya gaaru provided few laughs and much needed emotional quotient to the story. They carried all the emotions neatly till the end.
Vennela Kishore and Priyadarshi evokes few laughs. Rest of all have done the required to the story

Analysis
Vikram K. Kumar movies are definitely a minimum guaranteed ones. This movie is completely different from the movies he did till now and I would say he has succeeded yet again in entertaining us throughout.

From starting till end, It's Nani's show all the way. New Heroine Priyanka Arul Mohan is another attraction in the movie. She looks very beautiful and is apt to the role. The scenes of her with Nani have come out really well. Heroine's name is again "Priya" in this movie too like all other Vikram's movies
Anirudh Ravichander's Music one of the biggest asset to the movie. He just rocked it. Background score given by him is just terrific. Few scenes have been taken to the next level with the background score.
Though the story is very simple, leaving a few scenes here and there you won't feel bored. Comedy and some interesting scenes will keep you engaged throughout. As the story has nothing new to offer, narration at times falls flat but no worries, Nani and his revengers have overshadowed them with their performance
Even the songs in the movie were shot very well. They go with the story and doesn't give you a speed breaker feel. "Hoyna Hoyna" and "Ninnu Chuse Anandam lo" Stand out as the best.
The "Oops" Comedy track between Nani and Vennela Kishore evokes few laughs. Priyadarshi plays a publisher role and the scenes when Nani brings his book to him to get it published was very funny.
Emotional Quotient was blended very well in the movie. Nani has done a great job in these scenes too. Most of the emotional scenes feature Saranya gaaru, Nani and Lakshmi Gaaru. All the scenes between the gang members and there three have come out so well.
Editing is Neat. Production values are great. Dialogues are good too.
(MY) Final Word
Nani's Gang leader will gives you a Thriller experience with fun filled in it. Though few scenes looks dragged you don't get bored. Director and the Performances from the Actors will make sure the you are entertained throughout. If you are looking for some feel good movie with a package of thriller ride filled with good amount of emotions and loads of entertainment for this weekend, Gang Leader should be your pick
Bottom line: Revengers with their "Gang Leader" will win your hearts
Note: This is my take on the movie. That is why I am not rating the movie. I respect each and every movie. Making people read my review and influencing them to form an impression of a movie before watching the movie is never my intention. I am a Movie lover too. This is just to express my view on the movie. 😊
