Mathu Vadalara became a huge blockbuster bringing to light director Ritesh Rana's skills as a director. His next films - Happy Birthday and Mathu Vadalara 2, had mixed reactions while MV 2 became a huge commercial success. Now, with Satya in a leading role, he did Jet Lee and the movie released today, with good anticipation. Let's discuss about the movie in detail. 

Plot: 

Vyas (Satya) boards a flight but he doesn't remember who he is and what he used to do. Meanwhile, his flight is filled with Indian agents who are taking a bank manager Prajapati (Ajay) from Dubai. There are others who are trying to escape with him from the flight. Officer Shivani Roy (Rhea Singha) and Satya (Vennela Kishore) are also part of the chaos. What happens to Vyas? Who is he? Who will win in this operation chaos? Watch the movie to know more. 

Analysis: 

Ritesh Rana is good in bringing a novel concept to forefront and find ways to create funny situations, jokes around it. Here, he took a flight hijack premise to induce comedy but as a writer, he couldn't bring such innovation or novelty. While few scenes and sequences are good, many fall flat dragging the narrative further. 

But as a director, he is able to deliver a film that doesn't completely bore you as those few well written sequences work out really well. Even the production values and technical brilliance are well managed by him in this limited budget film. It is in writing, he needed to bring in a lot more than he actually did. 

Satya as Vyas is very good and different from his previous roles. Ritesh, once again, gave him a solid character and different body language. Satya handled it brilliantly. Vennela Kishore is very good with his timing but his jokes get a bit too repetitive in the second hour. Rhea Singha did a fine job while all others also performed well. 

Kaala Bhairava's songs and BGM are not that special but adequate to certain level. Editing could have been better but the movie holds interest in the first hour much better than second hour. With better climax as pre-climax episode works, the movie would have been much better. 

Positives: 

Satya and Vennela Kishore scenes 

Performances 

First hour sequences 

Novel concept 

Negatives: 

Draggy scenes 

Unfunny sequences in second hour 

Impactless Climax

Too much dependency on Film references 

Bottomline:

Jet Lee works only to an extent watching with low expectations. 

Rating: 2.5/5
