Temper is a 2015 Indian Telugu-language action film written by Vakkantham Vamsi and directed by Puri Jagannadh starring N. T. Rama Rao Jr., Kajal Aggarwal and Prakash Raj in the lead roles. The narrative revolves around Daya, a corrupt police officer, whose life changes after a brawl that eventually leads to him stumbling upon a rape case.

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 its principal photography commenced on the next day. After being halted twice because of 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 released worldwide on 13 February 2015 to positive reviews from critics who praised the principal cast's performances and criticised portions of the film for being predictable and repetitive. The film was a commercial success, grossing ₹74.3 crore (743 million) and collecting a share of ₹43.1 crore (431 million) in its lifetime. It was adapted into the Hindi film Simmba (2018) and remade in Tamil as Ayogya (2019).

Plot

Daya is an orphan who grows up believing a police officer's life to be a happy one with lots of money coming in the form of bribes, which inspires him to become a police officer. After years, he becomes a corrupt Sub-Inspector and gets transferred to Visakhapatnam, where he forms an immediate friendship with the local don Waltair Vasu by releasing his four brothers Ravi, Mani, Varun and Sundeep from jail, who were all arrested for smuggling. Daya's attitude does not go well with his subordinate Narayana Murthy, a sincere police constable. In vain, he tries to oppose Daya's deeds.

Meanwhile, Daya falls in love with a blue cross member named Shanvi who gets kidnapped on her birthday by Vasu's men, only to be rescued by Daya. Vasu then scolds his henchmen for kidnapping the wrong woman and apologizes to both of them. As her birthday gift, Shanvi asks Daya to rescue the girl who was the actual target. Obliging the same, Daya fights off Vasu's goons and saves the girl, Lakshmi. Somehow, he later reconciles with Vasu and comes to know that Lakshmi has an evidence against Vasu's brothers' atrocities. Daya meets her and learns that her sister Deepthi was kidnapped, raped, and brutally assaulted to death for 40 days by Vasu's four brothers who filmed and stored the footage on a CD, which is with Lakshmi now. Taking the CD, Daya calls Vasu to arrange for tickets to send both Lakshmi and her mother to United States, in exchange for the disc.

Before leaving, Lakshmi's conversation with him brings a change in his mindset. Realizing he was indirectly responsible for the rape as he let the brothers escape, Daya has a change of heart when Murthy notifies him of the same and he fights off Vasu's goons sent to retrieve the CD. Daya credits Shanvi for bringing the change in him and reveals the truth to her, after which she forgives him. After Deepthi's dead body is found and an autopsy is performed by a female doctor, Daya produces the CD as the evidence, which turns out to be an empty one. Though no further evidence exists, Daya asks a gap of one day to provide necessary evidence so that Vasu's brothers do not escape as exonerated. Realizing he was betrayed by his lawyer, he regrets not making multiple copies of the CD in a conversation with Shanvi. Later, a drunk Daya is attacked by Vasu's men but he manages to defeat all of them in the fight that ensues.

The next day, Daya adds that he is also one among the 'five' men who sexually assaulted Deepthi and convinces the judge to put the five of them to death so that the other four do not escape death. This statement shocks the media and everyone, including Shanvi, who questions Daya as to why he did it. Realizing this, Lakshmi reveals to Murthy that she has an extra copy, which is then aired by the media, revealing only the four brothers to be guilty. Daya's death sentence is cancelled, while the remaining four initiate a brawl with the police, resulting in a fight that leaves three of them dead at the hands of Daya and the remaining one hanging himself trying to escape him.

The film ends with Daya being released from prison, being reinstated into the police service, and reconciling with Shanvi 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.[5] B. V. S. N. Prasad was expected to produce this film under the Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra banner.[6] He went to Bangkok at the end of March 2014 to write the story of this project.[7]

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 Jr. 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.[8] 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.[9] The script work was in progress by late May 2014 and film was declared a cop drama.[10]

In late June 2014, Devi Sri Prasad was selected as the music director of the film while the cast and crew were being finalised.[11] The film was confirmed to be launched officially on 1 August 2014 at Jagannadh's new office Cave at 7:00 AM.[12] 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.[13]

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.[14][15] The titles Kummutha, Kummestha,[16] Rubabu,[17] Temper,[18] Nenorakam with the tagline "Totally Corrupted"[19] and Shamsher[20] were considered by the makers and Temper was finalised and announced on 19 November 2014.[21] The film was rumoured to be facing financial troubles in December 2014.[22]

Casting

(left to right) Principal cast of the film apart from N. T. Rama Rao Jr. : Kajal Aggarwal, Prakash Raj and Posani Krishna Murali.

Kajal Aggarwal was selected as the heroine of this film in early June 2013 pairing with Rama Rao Jr. after two successful films Brindavanam (2010) and Baadshah (2013) whose inclusion was confirmed by Jagannadh in a statement to the media after few days.[23][24] Ajaz Khan was signed as the antagonist of the film in July 2014.[25] 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, Pavithra Lokesh and Kovai Sarala.[13] Kajal had shortage of bulk dates to accommodate and it was rumoured that Tamannaah or a new actress would replace her.[26][27]

Ganesh denied those rumours and confirmed Kajal's inclusion.[28] Though initially planned to shoot simultaneously for a film by Sudhir Mishra, Kajal opted to continue with this film due to certain problems with Mishra's script.[29] 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.[30][31] Naveena was reported to be considered for a small role.[32] Impressed with his previous works, Jagannadh cast Sapthagiri for a special comedy role in the film.[33] Nora Fatehi replaced Shruti Haasan in an item number.[34][35] 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).[36]

R. Narayana Murthy was approached for a special character in the film opposite Rama Rao Jr. Murthy liked the role but declined it as he did not want to move to mainstream cinema and was content making left-oriented films.[37] Sonia Agarwal was signed on to play a significant role in the film.[38] Apoorva Srinivasan was cast for a small yet crucial supporting role marking her debut in Telugu cinema.[39] Junaid Sheikh was selected to play a negative role.[40]

Characters and looks

N. T. Rama Rao Jr. was reported to be seen as a tough and eccentric police officer in this film.[41][42] Regarding her character in the film, Madhuurima said that she plays a crucial role which is the turning point in the film.[43] She later added that her role is a small one that changes the course of the protagonist's character graph.[44] Kajal Aggarwal was confirmed to play the role of an animal lover in this film.[45] For his role, Rama Rao Jr. hired a new trainer who specialises in improving muscle tone and shed few kilograms relying on high protein diet and workout routine to build a hefty body. He also sported a crew cut.[46] A few still images of the film were leaked online on 26 November 2014 which confirmed Rama Rao Jr.'s look in the film.[47]

Those stills were captured during the shoot at Goa and they went viral on social networking sites.[48] 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.[49] Another still was leaked on the next day which featured Rama Rao Jr. 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.[50]

Rama Rao Jr.'s 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 Jr.) 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 to Sasidhar AS of The Times of India. He added that N. T. Rama Rao Jr. trimmed his mustache for sporting a rugged look.[51]

Madhuurima said in an interview to Suresh Kavirayani of Deccan Chronicle that she participated in few action sequences with Rama Rao Jr. in the film and added that she has no songs with him.[52] Rama Rao Jr.'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.[53] For a particular scene where he had to walk with bare chest, Rama Rao Jr. skipped drinking a glass of water for 18 hours continuously.[54] Kajal 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.[55] Posani Krishna Murali was seen in the role of a sincere constable who hates Daya because of his corrupt nature.[56]

Filming

Goa, where the initial scenes were shot

The regular shooting was planned to commence in April 2014.[6] In mid-May 2014, the film's shooting schedules were planned in July 2014.[57] On 1 July 2014 it was declared that the film's shoot would be completed in 100 working days.[58] Principal photography began on 2 August 2014.[59] Madhuurima joined the film's sets on 9 August.[60] N. T. Rama Rao Jr. 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.[61][62][63] Few comedy scenes were shot on Rama Rao Jr., Vennela Kishore and other supporting cast after a week.[64] 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.[65][66]

After being rumoured that the film might be shelved after shooting was stopped midway, Bandla Ganesh has 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.[67][68] The makers selected a house in Begumpet to erect a special police station set to shoot few crucial scenes on which ₹2.7 million was invested.[69] An item number on Rama Rao Jr. and Nora Fatehi was shot in Hyderabad in early October 2014.[70] That song was a fast-paced folk song choreographed by Shekhar which Nora termed a "hyper energetic dance number".[36]

Ramoji Film City, where parts of the film were shot

25% of the film's shoot was wrapped up by then and the next schedule was planned in Visakhapatnam.[71] Later the makers chose Goa to shoot major parts of the film.[72] Few scenes on Rama Rao Jr., Kajal Aggarwal and some other actors were shot meanwhile.[73] 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.[74] The strike was called off later and the filming continued from 25 October at Goa where major part of the film was shot.[75][76] The shoot of the interval block was wrapped up by 2 November.[77] Few key scenes on Rama Rao Jr., Kajal Aggarwal and Prakash Raj were shot later.[78] The Goa schedule came to an end on 24 November and the team returned to Hyderabad the next day.[79] The next schedule started at Ramoji Film City from 27 November.[80] By then, 80% of the film's shoot was complete.[81]

The film's shoot was disrupted again due to another strike caused by Film Federation Employees to appoint those 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.[82] However, the film's shoot was reported to be progressing in Hyderabad with employees other than the ones from Federation being employed.[83] The strike was called off on 5 December 2014 and the union members took part in the shootings from the next day.[84][85] Bandla Ganesh called off the film's shoot for 10 days as Rama Rao Jr. was devastated because of the death of his step brother Nandamuri Janakiram.[86] However Rama Rao Jr. chose to continue for ensuring a Sankranthi release and the filming resumed on 10 December 2014.[87]

"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.[88]

16 days of shoot was reported to be pending and the filming was expected to come to an end on 31 December 2014. Meanwhile, Rama Rao Jr. participated in the shoot of some important jail and court scenes at a specially erected set in Aluminium Factory near Gachibowli.[89][90] Puri Jagannadh informed Bandla 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 Jr.[91] The filming resumed from 27 December 2014 in Hyderabad.[92] Scenes on Rama Rao Jr. and others were shot in a police station set and court room set erected in Begumpet.[93] The last song was shot on Rama Rao Jr. and Kajal Aggarwal in late January 2015.[94][95] The entire filming came to an end on 31 January 2015.[96]

Post-production

S. R. Sekhar simultaneously completed the editing work so that the film can release on time.[79] Post-production activities progressed in tandem with the filming during the film's shoot at Goa.[81] Mani Sharma began composing the background score on 4 December 2014.[97] The film's dubbing activities began on 9 December 2014 at Hyderabad.[98] Rama Rao Jr. and the film's cast began dubbing for their roles on 4 February 2015.[99][100] The pending DTS mixing and Rama Rao Jr.'s dubbing were completed by 7 February 2015.[101] Mani Sharma was completing the rerecording work at the same time and the final copy was planned to be sent to Central Board of Film Certification for censoring on 9 February 2015.[102] 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.[103] The board passed the film with an 'U/A' certificate.[104] 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, Puri Jagannadh said that the film is basically the story of a bad police officer played by Rama Rao Jr. and is an action-oriented film.[105] 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.[106] 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 N. T. Rama Rao Jr. delivering dialogues that ridicule the contemporary judicial system and police hierarchy.[88]

Reception

Critical reception

The film received positive reviews from critics.[165] Y. Sunita Chowdary of The Hindu praised Rama Rao Jr.'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".[166] IBN Live called it the best work of Rama Rao Jr. 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".[167] Hemanth Kumar of The Times of India gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and praised Rama Rao Jr.'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".[168]

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."[169] 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.

He praised the performances of Rama Rao Jr. and Prakash Raj and termed the film as one of the best films of the former's and also his ideal comeback.[171] Subramanian Harikumar of Bollywood Life gave the film 3 out of 5 stars and stated "Temper is one of those films which ride high on actor’s performances and this film is a Jr NTR show from start to finish. Go in with minimum expectations and get ready to be mesmerised by NTR magic."[172]

In contrast, Haricharan Pudipeddi of IANS gave the film 3 out of 5 stars and termed Temper a regular Puri Jagannadh film salvaged by Rama Rao Jr.'s performance which he called a "terrific" one.[173] Behindwoods gave the film 2.25 out of 5 stars and stated "A thin one-liner made into a film with underused artists and a disengaging screenplay! Thanks to the well-known faces, reasonable songs and Junior NTR's dance, Temper becomes bearable."[174]

After including collections from Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, other parts of North India and international markets apart from AP/Nizam area, the first day total at the global box office stood approximately at ₹150 million and became the biggest opener of Rama Rao Jr. after breaking the previous record set by Baadshah (2013).[175] The film's trade witnessed around 50 per cent drop in the morning shows on its second day and improvements in the later shows and collected ₹65 million taking its two-day global box office total to approximately ₹220 million.[176] Apart from AP/Nizam, the film collected ₹35 million in other areas and the three day i.e. first weekend global box office total stood at ₹281.8 million.[177]

Sequel and remakes

Bandla Ganesh announced the film's sequel titled Temper 2 on 14 February 2015 through his Twitter page.[195] Its feasibility was doubted as Jagannadh shelved the sequels of his films Pokiri (2006) and Businessman (2012) in the past.[196] Sachiin J. Joshi announced that he would bankroll the Tamil and Hindi remakes of the film under his banner Viiking Media & Entertainment Pvt Ltd.[197] Ganesh reportedly sold those rights to Joshi as a part of the compensation to money he owed to him when the latter financed the former's production Govindudu Andarivadele (2014).[198] Dharma Productions later acquired the remake rights for Hindi, but the version titled Simmba (2018) was, according to its director Rohit Shetty, only a partial adaptation of Temper.[199] The film was also remade in Tamil as Ayogya (2019).[200]
