Temper is a 2015 Indian Telugu-language action film co-written & directed by Puri Jagannadh and story by Vakkantham Vamsi, starring N. T.

The narrative revolves around Daya, a corrupt police officer whose life changes after a brawl that eventually leads to him stumbling upon a murder case.

Contents

Temper was produced by Bandla Ganesh on Parameswara Art Productions banner. Anup Rubens composed the soundtrack, while Mani Sharma composed the background score. Shyam K. Naidu and S. R. Sekhar handled the film's cinematography and editing, respectively. The film was made on a budget of ₹35 crore (350 million). Production began on 1 August 2014 at Hyderabad and principal photography commenced on the next day. After being halted twice because of the Film Federation employees' strike, the film's shoot was completed by 31 January 2015, with the film being primarily shot in and around Hyderabad and Goa.

The film was released worldwide on 13 February 2015 to positive reviews from critics, who praised the principal cast's performances but criticized portions of the film for being predictable and repetitive. The film was a blockbuster and proved to be a major success for Rama Rao after a streak of failures, grossing ₹74.3 crore (743 million) and collecting a share of ₹43.1 crore (431 million) in its lifetime. It was remade in Hindi as Simmba (2018) and remade in Tamil as Ayogya (2019) with a changed climax.

Plot

Daya, an orphan, developed a preconceived idea during his childhood that a cop's life would be buoyant and easy, having seen the police often taking bribes and harbors an aspiration to become one. He grows to be a corrupt Sub-Inspector and gets transferred to Vishakapatnam and quickly is in cahoots with a local don Waltair Vasu, and begins to earn quick bucks, earning hatred from an honest constable under him, Narayana Murthy, when he releases Vasu's four younger brothers Ravi, Mani, Vamsi and Sundeep from prison when they were apprehended for smuggling on Gandhi Jayanti. Elsewhere, he begins to woo Saanvi, a Blue Cross member who reciprocates his feelings.

Vasu's henchmen abduct Saanvi on her birthday, mistaking her to be the girl they were actually supposed to kidnap and later kill. Daya fights them off to rescue her, and Vasu clears the confusion with his arrival and lets go of Daya and Saanvi after apologizing to them. As her birthday gift, Saanvi pleads Daya to save the actual target. Daya obliges to her appeal, and he saves the girl, Lakshmi, much to Vasu's chagrin. Daya later reconciles with Vasu, who agrees to relinquish his plans of murdering Lakshmi if Daya manages to retrieve a piece of evidence she holds against a crime of his brothers'.

Daya talks with Lakshmi to learn that her younger sister Deepthi was brutally raped and killed after being subjected to torture for forty days by Vasu's brothers (who kidnapped Deepthi on the same day Vasu had released them unlawfully), who filmed all of it and stored the footage in a CD, which Lakshmi managed to discover. Lakshmi entrusts Daya with the disc, requesting him to get the culprits to justice while Daya (under the pretext of Lakshmi and her mother's safety) arranges for her and her mother to leave for USA, where Lakshmi had a job at, prior to Deepthi 's murder.

Daya learns that Lakshmi's mother was the one who approached him to file a missing complaint of Deepthi days after he kidnapping, but he convinced her that she eloped, in his ignorance and carelessness rather than investigating, prior to being privy of the crime. Deepthi's mother hopes for her "eloped" daughter to return, and is still unaware of the atrocities that Deepthi was subjected to, as Lakshmi chose to hide it for the sake of her mother's stability. Daya drops Lakshmi and her mother at the airport, where the former's conversation with him brings a change in Daya, who holds himself responsible for Deepthi's murder as the crime had only occurred due to his corrupt actions.

Vasu's henchmen arrive at the station to retrieve the disc from Daya, who is told by Murthy of the humanity and compassion still in him. Daya fights off the henchmen and decides to get the brothers punished. Daya recognizes Saanvi being the reason for his reformation and reveals his previous actions to her, but she chooses to forgive him as he had become a changed person.

Meanwhile, Deepthi's corpse is discovered, discarded in a beach, and the brutality of the crime stuns the nation, and even the doctors who performed the autopsy on her. In court, Daya's lawyer produces the disc as evidence against the brothers, but it had been tampered with, making the sole proof of the brother's criminality in the murder invalid. Daya deduces that his lawyer was working with Vasu to obstruct the case and regrets not making copies of it. Lakshmi's mother, who is in the US, suffers from a heart stroke after learning of Deepthi's death.

Daya decides that he would bring the brothers to justice by any method possible, and the next day in court, he states that he has also assaulted Deepthi along with the four brothers, and was an accomplice to the crime, to make sure that the brothers do not escape the death sentence, even at the cost of his life. The statement shocks everyone, including Saanvi and Murthy, with both of them refusing to believe his declaration. The judge gives a death sentence to Daya and the four brothers.

Lakshmi, learning of Daya's stance, contacts Murthy to reveal that she had an extra copy of the murder footage with her all along for caution, and shares it to the media, proving Daya's innocence. As a result, Daya's death penalty is cancelled, while the four brothers initiate a brawl with the police minutes prior to their hanging, resulting in Daya fighting them and killing the three of them while the fourth one commits suicide at the spot he was supposed to be hanged to death, fearing Daya's wrath. Daya is released from prison and reinstated into the police service, and reconciles with Saanvi and Murthy.

Development

After Andhrawala (2004), Puri Jagannadh and N. T. Rama Rao Jr. unsuccessfully tried to collaborate for another movie several times. When reports of their second collaboration emerged in early 2014, neither of them confirmed the reports. During the post-release promotions of Heart Attack (2014), Jagannadh stated that he planned to make a film based solely on family values in his next venture with Godavari shores and regional backdrop. [4] B. V. S. N. Prasad was expected to produce this film under the Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra banner. [5] He went to Bangkok at the end of March 2014 to write the story of this project. [6]

Bandla Ganesh was confirmed to produce the film under the Parameswara Art Productions banner. When Jagannadh was about to begin work on the film, Rama Rao asked him to listen to a point narrated by Vamsi to him four years back, and the former agreed, saying that he would definitely do the film if it is better than his story. [7] Jagannadh chose to direct the script written by Vamsi in mid-May 2014 which marked the former's first film whose story was not written by him. [8] The script work was in progress by late May 2014 and the film was declared a cop drama. [9]

In late June 2014, Devi Sri Prasad was selected as the music director of the film while the cast and crew were being finalised. [10] The film was confirmed to be launched officially on 1 August 2014 at Jagannadh's new office Cave at 7:00 AM. [11] Shyam K. Naidu was named as cinematographer, S. R. Sekhar was named as editor, Brahma Kadali was named as art director while FEFSI Vijayan was recruited to compose the fights. [12]

Devi Sri Prasad was replaced by Anoop Rubens later for unknown reasons while Mani Sharma was selected for composing the background score while Anoop Rubens composed the soundtrack. [13] [14] The titles Kummutha, Kummestha, [15] Rubabu, [16] Temper, [17] Nenorakam with the tagline "Totally Corrupted" [18] and Shamsher [19] were considered by the makers and Temper was finalised and announced on 19 November 2014. [20] The film was rumoured to be facing financial troubles in December 2014. [21]

Kajal Aggarwal was selected as the heroine of this film in early June 2013, pairing with Rama Rao after two successful films Brindavanam (2010) and Baadshah (2013), whose inclusion was confirmed by Jagannadh in a statement to the media after few days. [22] [23] Ajaz Khan was signed as the antagonist of the film in July 2014. [24] On the day of launch, it was confirmed that Prakash Raj, Madhuurima, Ali, Kota Srinivasa Rao, and Posani Krishna Murali would play important roles along with Tanikella Bharani, Subbaraju, Vennela Kishore, Jaya Prakash Reddy, Sapthagiri, Ramaprabha, Pavitra Lokesh, and Kovai Sarala. [12]

Aggarwal had shortage of bulk dates to accommodate, and it was rumored that Tamannaah or a new actress would replace her. [25] [26] Ganesh denied the rumors and confirmed Aggarwal's inclusion. [27] Though initially planned to shoot simultaneously for a film by Sudhir Mishra, Aggarwal opted to continue with this film due to certain problems with Mishra's script. [28] S. Sreesanth and Zarine Khan were speculated to be a part of the film's cast when they visited Jagannath's Cave, but there was no official confirmation then. [29] [30] Naveena was reported to be considered for a small role. [31] Impressed with his previous works, Jagannadh cast Sapthagiri for a special comedy role in the film. [32] Nora Fatehi replaced Shruti Haasan in an item number. [33] [34] Jagannadh immediately selected her after her intense training to prepare for her role as a commando in the film Roar: Tigers of the Sundarbans (2014). [35]

R. Narayana Murthy was approached for a special character in the film opposite Rama Rao. Murthy liked the role but declined it as he did not want to move to mainstream cinema and was content making left-oriented films. [36] Sonia Agarwal was signed on to play a significant role in the film. [37] Apoorva Srinivasan was cast for a small yet crucial supporting role marking her debut in Telugu cinema. [38] Junaid Sheikh was selected to play a negative role. [39]

Characters and looks

Rama Rao was reported to be seen as a tough and eccentric police officer in this film. [40] [41] Regarding her character in the film, Madhuurima said that she plays a crucial role which is the turning point in the film. [42] She later added that her role is a small one that changes the course of the protagonist's character graph. [43] Aggarwal was confirmed to play the role of an animal lover in this film. [44] For his role, Rama Rao hired a new trainer who specializes in improving muscle tone and a shed few kilograms, relying on a high-protein diet and workout routine to build a hefty body. He also sported a crew cut. [45]

A few still images of the film were leaked online on 26 November 2014, which confirmed Rama Rao's look in the film. [46] The stills were captured during the shoot at Goa, and they went viral on social networking sites. [47] However, the makers tried to find out who leaked it online as they wanted the pictures to be released to create a buzz before the film's launch. [48] Another still was leaked on the next day which featured Rama Rao sitting on a Royal Enfield bike sans shirt sporting his six pack abs. The image was a working still taken on the beach, reportedly featuring in a song sequence of the film. However, none from the film's unit made a statement about the alleged leak. [49]

Rama Rao underwent a drastic physical transformation from head to toe in hairdo, costumes, body and attitude for this role. His stylist Ashwin Mawle shopped for the costumes and accessories from designer stores in Hong Kong and London. Regarding the styling, Ashwin further revealed, "For the hair, we tried getting a few variations of spikes — straight, cross and messy. He (Rama Rao) keeps a tab on the latest trends. He took a lot of references from latest runway looks and zeroed in on an earthy color palette: brown, burgundy and grey. Thick jackets make him look bulkier, so he has gone for slim fit shirts and jackets made of linen" in an interview with Sasidhar AS of The Times of India . He added that Rama Rao trimmed his mustache for sporting a rugged look. [50]

Madhuurima said in an interview to Suresh Kavirayani of Deccan Chronicle that she participated in few action sequences with Rama Rao in the film and added that she has no songs with him. [51] Rama Rao's character was named Daya, and he was shown as a sub-inspector of police who by his own admission is ruthless, fully corrupted, criminal-minded, and 100% cunning. [52] For a particular scene where he had to walk with bare chest, Rama Rao skipped drinking a glass of water for 18 hours continuously. [53] Aggarwal said in an interview to IANS that her character would become the reason for the transformation in the protagonist's character after she forces him to take up an issue. [54] Posani Krishna Murali was seen in the role of a sincere constable who hates Daya because of his corrupt nature. [55]

The regular shooting was planned to commence in April 2014. [5] In mid-May 2014, the film's shooting schedules were planned in July 2014. [56] On 1 July 2014 it was declared that the film's shoot would be completed in 100 working days. [57] Principal photography began on 2 August 2014. [58] Madhuurima joined the film's sets on 9 August. [59] Rama Rao was expected to join the film's sets on 11 August, though he joined on 21 August in the Aluminium Factory at Gachibowli in Hyderabad. [60] [61] [62] Few comedy scenes were shot on Rama Rao, Vennela Kishore and other supporting cast after a week. [63] The film's second schedule was planned from 10 September till the completion of the film's shoot, which was postponed to 15 September because of disruption in construction of a large police station set due to rainfall. [64] [65]

After being rumoured that the film might be shelved after the shooting was stopped midway, Ganesh had clarified that the shooting would continue from 26 September, and the shooting resumed in Aluminium Factory at Gachibowli in Hyderabad, and the makers announced that the schedule would continue till the end of the principal photography. [66] [67] The makers selected a house in Begumpet to erect a special police station set to shoot a few crucial scenes, on which ₹2.7 million was invested. [68] An item number on Rama Rao and Nora Fatehi was shot in Hyderabad in early October 2014. [69] That song was a fast-paced folk song choreographed by Shekhar, which Nora termed a "hyper energetic dance number". [35]

25% of the film's shoot was wrapped up by then, and the next schedule was planned in Visakhapatnam. [70] Later, the makers chose Goa to shoot major parts of the film. [71] Few scenes on Rama Rao, Aggarwal and some other actors were shot meanwhile. [72] The film's Goa schedule was delayed due to the ongoing strike for non-acceptance of the revised pay hike for the Film Federation Employees. [73] The strike was called off later, and the filming continued from 25 October at Goa, where major parts of the film were shot. [74] [75] The shoot of the interval block was wrapped up by 2 November. [76] A few key scenes on Rama Rao, Aggarwal and Prakash Raj were shot later. [77] The Goa schedule came to an end on 24 November, and the team returned to Hyderabad the next day. [78] The next schedule started at Ramoji Film City from 27 November. [79] By then, 80% of the film's shoot was complete. [80]

The film's shoot was disrupted again due to another strike caused by Film Federation Employees to appoint technicians who have a membership in the Federation. The makers said that two weeks of filming is pending, which would start immediately once the strike is called off. [81] However, the film's shoot was reported to be progressing in Hyderabad with employees other than the ones from Federation being employed. [82] The strike was called off on 5 December 2014, and the union members took part in the shootings from the next day. [83] [84] Ganesh called off the film's shoot for 10 days as Rama Rao was devastated because of the death of his stepbrother Nandamuri Janakiram. [85] However, Rama Rao chose to continue for ensuring a Sankranthi release, and the filming resumed on 10 December 2014. [86]

"The film had a scene where N. T. Rama Rao Jr. playing the role of the cop gets into a confrontation with Prakash Raj and Kota Srinivasa Rao. When Puri Jagannadh narrated the scene, Rama Rao Jr. suggested it would be better to have it set in a courtroom."

 —A source from the film's unit in an interaction with The Times of India. [87]

16 days of the shoot were reported to be pending, and the filming was expected to come to an end on 31 December 2014. Meanwhile, Rama Rao participated in the shoot of some important jail and court scenes at a specially erected set in Aluminium Factory near Gachibowli. [88] [89] Puri Jagannadh informed Ganesh that the film cannot be completed as planned and that film will not be ready for a Sankranti release. The latter was fine with the decision and gave a break to Rama Rao. [90] The filming resumed from 27 December 2014 in Hyderabad. [91] Scenes on Rama Rao and others were shot in a police station set and court room set erected in Begumpet. [92] The last song was shot on Rama Rao and Aggarwal in late January 2015. [93] [94] The entire filming came to an end on 31 January 2015. [95]

Post-production

S. R. Sekhar simultaneously completed the editing work so that the film could release on time. [78] Post-production activities progressed in tandem with the filming during the film's shoot at Goa. [80] Mani Sharma began composing the background score on 4 December 2014. [96] The film's dubbing activities began on 9 December 2014 at Hyderabad. [97] Rama Rao and the film's cast began dubbing for their roles on 4 February 2015. [98] [99] The pending DTS mixing and Rama Rao's dubbing were completed by 7 February 2015. [100] Mani Sharma was completing the rerecording work at the same time and the final copy was planned to be sent to the Central Board of Film Certification for censoring on 9 February 2015. [101] The censoring activities were postponed by a day due to unavailability of slot for censor and delay of final mixing. The special screening for the board began at 4:00 PM. [102] The board passed the film with an 'U/A' certificate. [103] The film's final length after censoring was 147 minutes, and 18 cuts were made in the film, including the reduction of the climax by 30%. [2]

Themes and influences

In an interview with Subhash K. Jha for the newspaper Absolute India, Jagannadh said that the film is basically the story of a bad police officer played by Rama Rao and is an action-oriented film. [104] He added later that the film about a highly corrupt and cunning police officer who later transforms into an honest one and the title of the film signifies the protagonist's character has attitude, arrogance, and is defiant. He added that the film has a novel theme and is not inspired by anyone in real life. [105] A source from the film's unit revealed that the confrontation scene in the courtroom was shot on the lines of a similar scene from the film Bobbili Puli (1982) and features Rama Rao delivering dialogues that ridicule the contemporary judicial system and police hierarchy. [87]

Music

Anup Rubens was signed in on to compose the film's soundtrack album after Rama Rao insisted Jagannadh to bring a relatively new music composer on board when the latter opted for Devi Sri Prasad. [106] It consists of six songs, all composed by Rubens and penned by Bhaskarabhatla, Kandikonda, and Viswa. [107] Rahul Kumar, mostly known as Roll Rida, rapped for the songs.

The film was initially planned for a worldwide theatrical release on 9 January 2015 as a Sankranthi release.

[113] Later, the film was expected to release in February 2015. [114] The release date was speculated as 13 February 2015, and an official confirmation was awaited.

[151] In contrast, Subramanian Harikumar of Bollywood Life stated, "The obsession for cop roles amongst Telugu filmmakers is refusing to die down, as Jr NTR plays corrupt sub inspector Daya.

Reception

Critical reception

The film received positive reviews from critics. [164]

Y. Sunita Chowdary of The Hindu praised Rama Rao's performance as one of his finest works and added, "The strength of the story lies in Puri Jagan’s clarity, at no moment he is in a hurry or tempted to show the hero’s softer side. What this film needed desperately was personality and character and this time it gets both". [165] IBN Live called it the best work of Rama Rao after Rakhi (2006) and added, "Although the film isn't targeted mainly at family audience due to overtly dealt perverted ideas, Temper can be a best watch for Nandamuri Fans". [166] Hemanth Kumar of The Times of India gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and praised Rama Rao's performance and the film's underlying theme. He wrote, "In the end, Temper comes across as a film which was meant for NTR to reinvent himself, for Puri to prove that he hasn't lost his mojo yet, for NTR's fans, whose unflinching faith in the actor hasn't diminished at all". [167]

Pravallika Anjuri of Oneindia Entertainment gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and stated "It is surely a brave attempt by the team to opt a script like this. Temper deals with a sensitive story and yet conveyed it with all the commercial elements that are needed for a film to click." [168] IndiaGlitz too gave 3.25 out of 5 stars and summarised "All in all, this one has emotion plus action, the former is the raison d'etre. Watch out for NTR.
