Tollywood Telugu film Movie story Review


Irendri(Manchu Lakshmi Prasanna) is a serpent queen who rules the kingdom of Angadesam. She hails from the family of magical witches and seeks immortality. Her mentor reveals about a girl Moksha (Baby Harshitha) who has a divine power in her and drinking her blood would be the solution.

Irendri sends her troops to get Moksha but her bodyguard Yodha (Siddarth) the blind warrior stands as protection. On the other hand, Yodha has got his love tale with Priya (Shruti Haasan) and assumes she is dead.

However, there is a connect between Irendri and Priya. And Yodha’s mission is to take Moksha, the divine girl, to a place to save the lives of many children who get into coma with the poison showered by Irendri’s fiendish troops.

Will Moksha go and save children with her power or she falls in the trap of Irendri? What happens from there forms the rest of the story. Telugu Movie Reviews

Siddarth is a mismatch to the role. He can be good for the role of a prince but he doesn’t have the ruggedness or the masculinity to be a warrior. However, he tried to do his best so efforts were good though result was bad.

Shruti Haasan looks fresh, beautiful, seductive and sensuous. However, she must remember that if she continues picking up roles like this, her career will not last for long. Performance wise, she didn’t have anything to offer except show some oomph in the songs.

Lakshmi Manchu is the saving grace for the film. Her grandeur and decoration in appearance makes up for any drawbacks and she has given a decent performance given her debut in Tollywood. Well, there is huge acceptance for her as Mohan Babu’s daughter. She emulated him in a few scenes with her walk and dialogue.

Baby Harshitha is okay but given her character, it would have made sense if she maintained some serenity instead of prancing around like a kid who just comes after the school is over.

Ram Vallabhaneni seems to have come through recommendation. Ravi Babu looked silly, Ali brought few smiles, Brahmi looks dumb, Subbaraya Sharma has a guest role, Tanikella was brief, the others did their bit as required.


Visual Effects

Visual effects worth a special mention for this film, Visual effects are extraordinary, spectacular & ideal. We find visual effects through out Irendri’s character in the movie.

Analysis



First things first, if Prakash is looking to make a career as a director, he must go back to school and learn the fundamentals. For starters, the story must be strong, if it is not then the narrative must be strong, if that is not then atleast the etching of the characters must be convincing. He has failed in all skills department. It looks as if he was focusing on the surroundings and the colorful settings rather than the main plot and the depth it must have. A few observations regarding attention to detail that he must ponder:

* Siddharth’s appearance lacks macho look that is required for this role.
* Moreover his blind portrayal adds no value to the drama but dropped the graph down.
* The scene shows the villain piercing the eyes of Siddarth, where are the scars?
* If it’s a fantasy then the script and dialogues must suit that genre, phrases like ‘Naayala’ ‘Jaffa’ …sounds strange. There is a fluctuation in the grammar, sometimes it is authentic, sometimes it becomes colloquial. ‘nadumu chooste mara phirangulu..’ is term used in a song. Where did this ‘phirangi’ come in such a folklore backdrop?
* The movie runs beyond time and space (!) It is hard to find out the backdrop- Caribbean or Arabian or Siberian or Indian? Well, it’s understood as Fairy Tale and hence backdrop shouldn’t be questioned.
* Good narration is accompanied with gripping screenplay and enticing dialogues. Nothing worked in this movie from start till end.
* The divine girl Moksha is shown just like a normal school girl and hence her characterization lacked value.
