Ajith is a known face to Tollywood with past hits like Prema Lekha and Vaali has took a long break to arrive on Telugu screen with Gambler. Along with him are heroines Trisha and Lakshmi Rai generating quite a bit of interest on film. Let us see, how far this Aravam gamble worked out in Telugu?

Story:
Mumbai police goes into tizzy with a serious issue regarding bookies and match fixing. Vinayak (Ajith) is a police officer serving suspension for 6 months. He falls in love with Sanjana (Trisha), daughter of a powerful local gangster Mahadev (Jayaprakash). In an attempt to dictate Mumbai, Mahadev plans to steal the 500 crores used for betting during IPL. But four men gang Sumanth (Vaibhav), Prem (Premji), Mahat (Mahat Raghavendra), Ganesh (Ashwin Kakumanu), a sub-inspector at Dharavi in Mumbai plan a trap and wants to run away with this money. And knowing about this, Vinayak also joins the group and starts leading the gang and finally managed to steal the money. What happens after that and where will the money go is to be watched on the silver screen.

Plus Points:

• Cinematography
• Technical values
• Ajith’s performance

Minus Points:

• Weak narration
• Silly comedy
• Mishandling of good subject
• Slow pace
• Poor content
• No intensity

Technicalities:
Cinematography is very good in this an action-packed movie as Sakthi Saravanan has given a fresh color to it. It's Yuvan Shankar Raja's background score elevates the tempo of the action sequences but songs very ordinary. Editors Praveen K L and N B Srikanth should have edited the film better as the movie still needs lots of editing.

Bottom-line:
Don’t gamble, you will tumble! Watch out only for Ajith's antics and his stylish Grey-haired look! (Tollywood has the first laugh over Kollywood)
