What Is the Story About?
Three frustrated husbands, Vikram (Chaitanya Krishna), Ghanta Ravi (Priyadarshi), and Rahul (Abhinav Gomatam), accidentally meet at the school and strike a bond immediately. How their lives get entangled in due course as their bond thickens. What are the problems they face when expressing their frustration is the series’ basic plot.
Performances?
Priyadarshi, Chaitanya Krishna, and Abhinav Gomatam playing the three frustrated husbands are perfectly cast for their respective roles. Clearly defined characterisations further enhance the impact.
Priyadarshi is the uncouth tough guy who speaks his mind, and he nails the part with ease. Chaitanya Krishna is the modern guy who appears meek outside with a lot of pent-up frustration inside. He pulls off the contrasting personality with ease. He could have been better at the sarcastic or rather upfront side of his character, though. And finally, Abhinav Gomatam gets the right role utilising his understated humour.
Together the trio provide all the laughs and make their respective parts endearing and relatable. They help overcome the predictability issue.
Analysis
Mahi V Raghav and Pradeep Advaitham create the series, Save The Tigers. Teja Kakumanu directs the show, which is about a trio of frustrated husbands coming together.
The basic premise of a husband as the suffering guy and his struggles with his wife or family is nothing new. We have been witnessing such stories since ages. What makes Save The Tigers work, therefore, is the clarity and packaging.
The first thing that instantly strikes while watching Save The Tigers is the well-defined characters. Every individual character instantly registers and feels relatable as a result. The world each guy belongs to is properly etched and rings true.
With the right casting for every part, all that remains to be done to overcome any issues are good writing. Save The Tigers get that right and improves as it goes on.
The issues are there, as mentioned before. The story is nothing new, and the way it progresses is also on predictable lines. It is the same for the three worlds. They follow a predictable trajectory, but the emotions hit the mark despite the issues, and that’s why it works.
The ending episode feels a little rushed, and also, a sense of abruptness prevails. Still, the characters make one want to look forward to what the story has to offer next.
Overall, Save The Tigers has a routine story and premise, which is elevated due to its cast and sharpness in the making. If you like to watch a light-hearted and silly fun series to watch over the weekend, give it a try.
Other Artists?
Jordar Sujatha, Pavani Gangi Reddy, and Deviyani are the female leads in the series. Just like the male leads, they are also perfect for their roles. While they may have smaller runtime in comparison, everyone has an important part to play. Jordar Sujatha’s part has emotional moments which are easy to connect, followed by Pavani Gangi Reddy. The latter has a very dry and calm part compared to the other two female counterparts. Deviyani’s is the challenging role out of the three, even though it looks simple on the surface, which is a role that is easy to hate. It could have been a little more nuanced, though.
Hymavati, Gangavva, Rohini, Harshavardhan, and Venu play other vital roles. They appear briefly but are fun to watch nonetheless. We have seen them do similar parts before as well, which makes them easy to slip into and deliver.
Music and Other Departments?
Ajay Arasada’s music is on predictable lines for such a setup. It follows a standard pattern seen in such urban set slice-of-life tales. SV Vishweshwar’s cinematography is neat. Everything looks so prim. The editing is spot on. Shravan Katikaneni keeps the pace right for the series. The writing is consistently on the good side, considering the setting and the characters.
