Story
A trio who are accused for a rape are escaped from jail and ACP Narasimha (Srikanth) tightens the police activity, to catch them. Meanwhile the trio enters into Vidya's (Eesha Rebba) house. They threaten her not to tell anyone about them. They go to bedroom to hide in cupboard as someone rings the door bell. They open the cupboard and Vidya's husband Rahul's (Satyadev) dead body falls down. All the three are shocked. Vidya comes running up to bedroom and she too is shocked. Who is Rahul? Who killed him? Is there any bigger game behind all this? This forms the rest of the story.
Drawbacks (Which I Felt)
Second half has good number of thrills and twists. Every knot is untied very well. With twists revealed, movie comes to an end with an action episode.
Bottomline: Ragala 24 Gantallo - 👍 4 2nd Half

Artiste Performance
Eesha Rebba gives a Stunning Performance. After Anthaku mundhu Aa tharvatha and Ami Thumi she gets a role that has much scope to perform and portray the actress in her.
Satyadev does a great work in negative shade. He gives an excellent performance as antagonist. He fully involves into the character and plays the role.
Aadavari Matalaku Ardhale Verule fame Srikanth gets a very short but crucial role. He handles the role well and delivers a good performance.
Muskan Sethi looks very beautiful on screen gives a decent performance in her limited role.
Ganesh Venkatraman gets a limited screen time. He does the required and is good. Ravi varma too plays the role well and is an interest building factor in the movie.
Rest of the cast are Ok.

Analysis
From the title "Ragala 24 Gantallo" everyone will think that this movie will be filled with thrilling moments and the aftermath of the unexpected event. This movie does justice to that point but only from pre interval point.
First half starts on a very interesting note. First 20 minutes of the movie is very engaging. Once the flashback starts, till interval the movie is very slow.. Every scene is dragged and make you feel a bit bored. Few trims would have made the screenplay racy.
Movie actually starts from Pre interval sequence and makes a strong Interval bang setting a right stage to second half.
Second half is very racy and engaging. Leaving a song that comes at end everything about second half is good. Songs are a minus point not because of the music but because they come as speed breakers to the flow. One that comes in first half is way too stretched and the other in second half plays a spoilsport disturbing movie's interesting screenplay.
Second half has good number of thrills and twists. Every knot is untied very well. With twists revealed, movie comes to an end with an action episode.
Music by Raghu Kunche is neat but the placement of songs is not good. Background Score is outstanding. It creates an element of Suspense during thrilling moments and elevates scenes. Cinematography is another big asset to the movie. Editing could have been better.
(MY) Final Word:
During the initial 20 mins, Ragala 24 gantallo will give you feels of "Kaun?" (Movie by Ram Gopal Varma), but later it changes the track and falls under different concept. Director has started off well but loses the steam after a while. He dragged the scenes with unnecessary dialogues. Other than that, the movie stays true to its genre. Leaving a slow first half, this movie manages to engage you from Post Interval till end. On a Whole, Ragala 24 Gantallo ends up as a Watchable Suspense Thriller.
Bottomline: Ragala 24 Gantallo - 👍 4 2nd Half
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. 😊
