Principal photography of the film began in January 2020 in Hyderabad and the film was released on 9 April 2021. Vakeel Saab faced several challenges, including canceled benefit shows and blocked ticket price hikes due to the Andhra Pradesh government's refusal to enforce a High Court-approved increase, reportedly due to political vendetta against Pawan Kalyan.[3] Additionally, many screenings were canceled shortly after its release due to a lockdown imposed following the severe second wave of COVID-19 in the country.[2] Despite these issues, the film grossed ₹137.65 crore worldwide, becoming the second highest-grossing Telugu film of the year.[2]

Plot

edit

Pallavi, Zareena, and Divya are independent, middle-class working women living together in Hyderabad. One night, after their car breaks down on a highway, Pallavi's friend Viswa offers them a lift. Later, Bunty and Viswa rush a severely injured Vamsi to the hospital. Meanwhile, the three women return home in a taxi, appearing shaken, implying their involvement in the incident. They try to move on, but Vamsi, seeking revenge, threatens them, leading to Zareena losing her job. The local police, aware of Vamsi's powerful connections through his father, MP Korentla Rajendra, discourage the women from filing a complaint.

The next day, Pallavi is kidnapped by Vamsi's friends, who threaten, blackmail, and molest her in a moving car before dropping her back home, leaving her traumatized. A few days later, Pallavi is arrested based on a complaint from Vamsi, who labels the women as prostitutes and charges Pallavi with attempted murder. In despair, Zareena and Divya encounter Satyadev, a seemingly alcoholic man who suggests they seek emergency bail. Initially skeptical of his help, they later learn that Satyadev was once a reputable lawyer but was suspended for four years after harming a fellow lawyer in court. Concurrently, his wife Amrutha died due to pregnancy complications while he was away on an important case, leading him into depression and alcoholism. Although he initially declines to help, an attack by Rajendra's men motivates Satyadev to represent Pallavi in court.

In court, Vamsi's lawyer, Advocate Nanda Gopal, argues that the women, after being helped by Vamsi and his friends, demanded money for sexual favors, painting them as prostitutes. He attacks Pallavi's character, emphasizing her choice to live with friends despite having family in Hyderabad. The women counter, claiming Vamsi attempted to rape Pallavi, who acted in self-defense. Satyadev's defense centers on the concept of consent and a woman's right to say no.

During the trial, Satyadev exposes the police's collusion with Vamsi, revealing inconsistencies in the complaint timeline and proving Pallavi was not immediately arrested despite lodging a complaint against Vamsi. Nanda's attempts to provoke Zareena into admitting to taking money from the men causes a moment of distress, but Satyadev presses on, ultimately causing Vamsi to admit the truth in a fit of rage, saying the women "got what they deserved."

Satyadev criticizes societal double standards that label women as immoral for behaviors that are acceptable for men, emphasizing that "no means no" regardless of context. Following the trial, Satyadev and the women are attacked on a train by Siva but manage to fend off the attackers and return to court. The women are acquitted, while Vamsi, Bunty, and Siva face pending sentences, and Viswa is let off with a warning.

After the case, Satyadev resumes his legal career to help ordinary people, Zareena regains her job, Pallavi gets engaged, and Divya moves into her newly constructed home.

Development

edit

Venu Sriram began working on the Telugu remake of Pink (2016) after his project with Allu Arjun, Icon, was put on hold. On November 2, 2019, it was announced that Pawan Kalyan would star in this remake. This would mark Kalyan's return to acting after a hiatus due to his political campaign in the 2019 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election.[4][5] The film, was to be produced by Boney Kapoor and Dil Raju, and was set to be directed by Venu Sriram with dialogues by Trivikram Srinivas. It was scheduled to start production in December 2019.[4]

The project was announced as a joint production between Dil Raju of Sri Venkateswara Creations and Boney Kapoor's Bayview Projects LLP, which acquired the Telugu and Tamil remake rights of Pink (the Tamil version being Nerkonda Paarvai).[5] The film features music by S. Thaman, marking his first collaboration with Kalyan, cinematography by P. S. Vinod, and editing by Prawin Pudi.

During the pre-production works, the tentative titles Maguva,[7] Lawyer Saab,[8] and Vakeel Saab,[9] were under consideration for the film before Vakeel Saab was finalised as official title in March 2020.[10] In a September 2020 interview, director Venu Sriram announced that the film cannot be made as a commercial entertainer due to the social issues involved in the Hindi counterpart, but staying true to the original script, the team had made some changes suiting Pawan Kalyan's body language.[11]

Major scenes not featuring Kalyan were shot during this schedule.[20]

On 6 October, Nivetha Thomas joined the sets of the film.[21] Later on 1 November, Kalyan joined the sets of the film with the team planning to shoot the entire schedule within 15 days.[22][23] Some scenes of the film were also shot in Hyderabad Metro.[24][25] Kalyan completed filming his portions on 29 December 2020,[26] whereas the team shot few sequences; the shooting of the film completed on 9 January 2021.[27] Pawan Kalyan started dubbing for his portions for the film in March 2021 and completed within five days.[28][29]

Controversy

edit

In early April 2021, the Andhra Pradesh High Court ruled that ticket prices for the film Vakeel Saab could be increased for the first three days. Despite this ruling, the Andhra Pradesh government did not enforce the decision, leading to allegations of deliberate obstruction.[3] Government officials, including VROs and MROs, reportedly took control of ticket sales at theaters, sparking controversy. This decision resulted in protests from Pawan Kalyan's fans and criticism from the opposition BJP and TDP leaders.[73][3]

Reception

edit

Critical reception

edit

The Times of India critic Neeshita Nyayapati called Vakeel Saab a "courtroom drama with a generous dose of masala." She felt that Venu Sriram has stuck to the plot of Pink for the most part but tweaked the screenplay to suit Kalyan's image. She appreciated the score composed by Thaman.[74] Hemanth Kumar in his Firstpost review rated the film 3/5 and wrote that the film is a celebration of Kalyan's stardom and an evocative commentary on how women are judged in the society. He observed that the film was at its best when it was close to source material. "Vakeel Saab wants to fight the right fight, even when it turns its gaze away from the three women at the centre of all the drama to glorify its lead actor," Kumar added.[75]

Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu stated that the film hit the right notes in the courtroom proceedings. On performances she noted that Nivetha, Anjali, and Ananya were "remarkable," Kalyan was at his best for the courtroom proceedings and Prakash Raj aced the role that requires him to be truly sinister.[76] The Indian Express journalist Manoj Kumar R opined that director Sriram and Kalyan honoured the main subject and the message of the original film.[77] A reviewer from Deccan Chronicle rated the film 3/5 and stated that the remake stays "true to the original" and the star cast delivered on their performances.[78] Haricharan Pudipeddi in his Hindustan Times review compared the film with the other versions of the story (Pink and Nerkonda Paarvai) and opined that Vakeel Saab is "more massy and lightweight."[79]

In a review for Telangana Today, L. Ravinchander wrote that Vakeel Saab is a mixed bag and added, "This court room drama has punch but a great opportunity to make a masterpiece goes abegging."[80] Film Companion's Karthik Keramulu felt that the flash back episode took central focus away from the story of Pink but the court scenes featuring Kalyan and Prakash Raj were hotter than the original. Keramulu wondered whether the film would open up debates around the idea of consent or be understood as an action film where the hero saves the women.[81]

Jahnvi Reddy of The News Minute called Vakeel Saab a "superficial remake" of Pink. She wrote that there might have been better ways of changing the script to venerate the star while staying true to the spirit of the story but alteration of several striking scenes from the original diluted the point they made.[82] Cinema Express critic Ram Venkat Srikar stated that Vakeel Saab does a criminal disservice to the original. He criticised the dilution of narrative about consent and the addition of political undertones to the film.[83]

Box office

edit

On the opening day, the film grossed more than ₹42 crore at the box office, with a distributor's share of ₹33 crore.[84][85] Box Office India reported that Vakeel Saab is the highest opener in India post the pandemic, netting over ₹38 crore on its first day.[86] The film collected a gross of ₹100 crore in its first week.[87]

At the US box office, the film grossed $300,000 on the opening day.[88] Taran Adarsh through his Twitter account, reported that the film collected a gross of A$211,857 and NZ$19,220 at the Australian and New Zealand box offices in the first two days respectively.[89][90]

Vakeel Saab netted ₹120 crore in India, surpassing the Hindi and Tamil versions of the film.[91] By the end of its theatrical run, the film grossed ₹137.65 crore worldwide, earning the distributors a share of ₹86.1 crore.[2]
