Rating: 4/10. Movie falls into the Flop category movies which have come in this summer (Teenmaar, Shakti, Veera, Maaro and now Badrinath)
Movie Certification: should be certified A. An absolute violence, no common sense, commercialisation of hindu mythological values and human values.
Subject: supposedly be a socio fantasy but over cooked as Love story with no base.
Story Line: story based on student of takshashila.
Plus Points: All the attraction of the movie is around
Plus Points: All the attraction of the movie is around
1) Good Dance of Allu Arjun and some good effort of Tamanna in Dances.
2) Music and Songs
3) Some of the action sequences (but mind it, the action sequences are too violentic)
Weak Points:
No new subject. A mixture of Indra, Anji, Khaleja, Shakti, Magadheera.
Again Villain character is created as one stupid dumbo guy who have no skills, brains or guts to challenge the Hero character. Not sure when can Telugu Directors / Story writers can create a good Villain role (gone are those days of Rajanala, Satyanarayana, SV Ranga Rao, Kannada Prabhakar, etc...).
Though Hero-Allu Arjun had done some good home work to work on the physique, Dance, Action sequence, Sword fight Skills and Heroine - Tamanna had worked upon some good dance sequences and slimmed down --- Director V.V. Vinayak had done a atrocious fatal job by not working on the subject, and not doing enough home work on story before he is coming into sets.
Director / Story writer could not even create a good comedy track to keep the movie lively and entertaining for audience - the old Indra movie comedy track (MSN, Brahmanandam, Dharmavarapu and Krishna Bhagavan) is used as he was not creative enough to stitch the story with strong base.
Finally a good subject is cooked out to be 3rd grade hotel lunch at the cost of Indian Mythological values, human values and sentiments of hinduism.
Director has not taken any care towards the presentation of actors according to the scenes. Ones eyes can easily notice the actors wearing Footwear while they were present in temples, heroine comes up with all the sultry stuff at temple places. Guess, director had kept his brains at home while he was shooting, by not following the fundamental values of our system.
Story:
A story which is about an extraordinary kid(Badrinath) who turns out to be a shishya of Takshashila under the Guru(prakash raj). After the rigorous education, training in different indian martial arts, kid turns out to be the Kshetra Palaka for the Lord Vishnu Kshetra - Badrinath. And there on movie takes twists into heroine character and how she falls for the kshetra palaka - movie folds into any other normal love story movie with the trio of Hero - Heroine - Villain.
Verdict:
An blunderous effort from Director. Telugu audience can refrain themselves from not watching this movie as there is no good entertainment. The only good points in this movie - Songs and Dances.
Realization or Action Points for Movie Team:
Producer Allu Aravind had earned some good profits with his earlier projects, may be this is some movie where he clearly want to some good loss.
Director V.V.Vinayak - when you get some good subject line and funds to make that subject into a good movie - you got to do some home work and come on to sets. One should really learn from the flops of Khaleja and Shakti when they want to build and produce a movie which is of this nature. V.V.Vinayak may have to take some learning lessons from our old directors (Kodi Ramakrishna, lessons from Vittalacharya movies) and can be new director Rajamouli, if he wants to tryout for some good click of this nature.
To Audience:
Dont make any efforts to watch this movie in theaters as you are not loosing any entertainment. As it is a sheer flop - very soon this movie will be aired in one of the telugu channels.
