The sliver of smartness in director Maruthi’s Telugu courtroom drama is buried underneath cringy jokes
That director Maruthi is unabashedly commercial in his approach to his movies is known. A few of his films guaranteed hilarious moments while others ended up flat and listless. Pakka Commercial falls in the second category and is ultimately an old wine in a new bottle, despite the writer-director asserting through his characters that they are not treading the old route.
The courtroom becomes the playground for this story. Surya Narayana (Sathyaraj) is a sincere magistrate who repents a wrong judgment of his that ruined a victim’s life while letting the perpetrator go scot-free. In contrast, his son Lucky (Gopichand) grows up to be a conniving lawyer who basks in being commercial.
