Even though Ram Gopal Varma has lost his appeal, he still makes films that are unpopular today. Let's see how Ammayi, his most recent movie, performs on the big screen.
Story:
Pooja (Pooja Bhalekar), a fierce admirer of Bruce Lee, visits the city to take martial arts classes. She begins training with a veteran trainer who is under intense pressure to leave his million-dollar training facility. When Abhimanyu Singh and company, the bad guys, kill the coach, Pooja is left on her own to manage the problem. The entire film's plot revolves around how she handles the circumstance.
Gaining Ground :
Recently, it has gotten much harder to find positives in an RGV movie. Pooja Bhalekar, the primary character, is one such asset. She does an excellent job in the movie and is effective in all of her action scenes. Pooja has an athletic body and is highly flexible.
In his bad part, Abhimanyu Singh does alright. It was a good actor who played Pooja's lover. The finale segment was well-shot and compellingly depicts the action block.
Negative Points:
There are so many flaws in the movie that none of them can be listed here. Let's begin with the movie's plot. There is nothing novel to even mention in the script because it is so dated and uninteresting.
RGV is a fervent fan of Bruce Lee and is likely familiar with Pooja Bhalekar, who is also skilled in martial arts in real life. In order to demonstrate her Bruce Lee impersonation skills, he has chosen her as the protagonis. The key strengths of any RGV film are emotion and drama, but Ammayi has neither of those things happening and makes you grimace with the subpar acting from the C-grade performers.

RGV displays his "Paithyam" by dressing the heroine in a two-piece bikini during every fight and sexily showcasing her, which becomes offensive with time.
Technical Details:
The photography is passable. Both the music and the BGM are excellent. Both the lyrics and the production quality were acceptable. In regards to the director RGV, it is best if we avoid talking about him. He has lost it since all of his recent movies, including Ammayi, are sleazy. All he displays is semi-nudity in slow motion under the name of an action movie.
Verdict:
Ammayi is an action drama that lacks a fundamental soul and looks antiquated and cheap overall. Since RGV admires Bruce Lee, he emulated his action technique in Pooja Bhalekar, a vulgar and unoriginal heroine. Leave this one alone.
