Prasad under the banner of Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra, this one is musically composed by Achu Rajamani, Sam C. S. and Suresh Bobbili. Jack is cinematographed by Vijay K. Chakravarthy and edited by Navin Nooli. Jack's plot overview Jack (Siddhu Jonnalagadda) is a smart and capable guy who doesn't like the idea of a regular 9-to-5 job. His dream is to become a RAW agent. After going to an interview, he thinks he's got the job. While waiting, he takes matters into his own hands and starts chasing down some terrorists on his own. At the same time, real RAW agents are trying to catch a dangerous terrorist and stop a big attack on the country. The rest of the story is about how Jack gets involved with the RAW team and helps stop the attack. Jack's review The Times of India rated the movie 2.5 out of 5, and a part of their review read, 'The narrative jumps from tense action to broad comedy without much finesse, and the tonal imbalance becomes jarring.
