These days, script writers are of the opinion that there are no stories for a film with a single hero. But director Paruchuri Murali has prepared a subject with three heroes. Another important point to note is that a hero playing dual roles is an uncommon feature these days. But Balakrishna has dared to play triple roles in this film, depicting three generations as grandfather, father and son. Will this experiment reap fruit? 

Story :

Balakrishna portrays three characters in this movie – Harischandra Prasad (old man) , Rama Krishna Prasad (bearded man) and Bobby (younger Balayya). Harischandra Prasad is a powerful leader from Rayalaseema and he has the love of the people. In order to provide employment to the people of the area, Harischandra Prasad plans to bring in a major steel plant with the help of foreign investors. This is resented by powerful rival factionists Ramappa (Pradeep Rawat) and Kota Srinivasa Rao. So they hatch a plan to finish off Harischandra Prasad. Coming to know about this, Rama Krishna Prasad thwarts the plans of the villains and tries his best to follow his father’s footsteps.

But in a cruel twist, the villains strike at the heart of the family by manipulating Bobby. How do they do it? What is the twist? And will the family succeed in its attempt to empower the Rayalaseema region? That forms the story.

Technical: T Surender Reddy's cinematography is unimpressive. Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao has failed to use his scissors as the film has many unnnecessary tear jerks at many places. Dialogues are good in parts and the dialogues of the grandfather and father’s roles have lot of punch. Kalyani Mallick has failed in giving good tunes to the songs, but he has put a good show in re-recording. His background score elevates many scenes in the film. 

Paruchuri Murali could be given full marks for elevating the hero’s image in all three characters. But he could not show the same work when it comes to the subject. He has ignored certain departments like use of wigs of the father’s role and his beard as they look in different shapes in different takes. The action scenes are okay and the songs also appear good on the screen. Though he loses grip on the story on many occasions, he is able to regain it immediately. It is like a learner riding on a mad horse.

Plus Points :

• Balakrishna’s Performance
• Brahmanandam’s Comedy
• Picturization of Songs
• The crucial twist in the story is good

Minus Points :

• Too many offensive Dialogues
• Predictable Screenplay
• On a whole music and background score made the film tasteless.
• It is a Balayya-mark film and would definitely attract his fans. No doubt, the film would go well with the mass audiences. Hence it will be a commercial success. Watch the film for masala entertainment, but not for a decent view.
• Balayyaa costumes
• Care should have been taken with respect to the wigs and costumes of a big hero like Balakrishna and the Director is completely at fault here.
• The characterization of villains is quite poor
• Venu Madhav and Murali Sharma are wasted in silly roles.

My word:

A film for Hardcore Nanadamuri fans

last line: Outdated masala

Entertainment Boxz  Rating: 2.7/5
