Krishnarjuna Movie Review
>> Wednesday, February 6, 2008
Banner: Lkshmi Prasanna picturesThey said that it was inspired by Bruce Almighty. Then we heard it was similar to the ANR starrer Bhudhimanthudu. Now that the film has released, we can conclude that it is not inspired either by two, or at least not in total. It is indeed interesting to watch both Vishnu and Nagarjuna in the same frame, given that they both have a different body language. In fact, both of them look perfectly sync and appear more like tow friends chilling out. Their off screen chemistry cannot be missed on screen too.
But that is all out of it and nothing more positive about the film can be said. P. Vasu is the director of this film who last directed the film Chandramukhi with the superstar Rajnikanth. But one can wonder is this a film directed by the creative director like Vasu or his assistants as the story and the screen play are so predictable and looks childish and one can easily wonder does this film belong to this generation. it is a film which must and should have been produced in the year of 80’s and the story which belongs to that generation ahs nothing new to impress the audience.
The films first frame opens with Arjun (Vishnu ) lying on the bed in the ICCU of a hospital and battling for his life. The film then goes on to a flash back. Arjun is born in a sanctum of Lord Krishna Temple. His mother is a mentally unstable woman, who is pregnant and a run away from a mental asylum. She gives birth to Arjun and dies.
Arjun’s Grandmother Manorama brings up Arjun by working as a Maid in a house of Nazar. Arjun grows up into a well built male, who is innocent and hardworking guy.Satya (Mamtha Mohan Das) is the younger sister of Nazar who is an arrogant and a spoilt brat. Arjun also works in the same house of Nazar and daily drops Mamta in her college and also helps his grandmother in her domestic duties.Then enters the so called villain of the film. Thanikella Bharani plays the character of a rich Diamond merchant who comes to Nazar’s house as a guest. His son falls for Sathya and she also takes a liking for him as he is a rich person who can make her flooded by Diamonds. but there is a twist.Brahmanandham as an astrologer says that whoever marries Satya will die within a short span of time.Nazar hatches a plan and gets Arjun to tie the knot to sathya . His plan is that as soon as Arjun dies due to the Kuja Dhosham of Satya, he can perform her marriage with Tanikella ‘s son and they can live happily.
But however Arjun’s life takes a turn after the marriage as his grandmother dies, when she comes to know the truth about the marriage. Arjun also tries to commit suicide, but then enters Lord Krishna’s Character which is played by Yuvasamrat. he saves him and induces some confidence and Will Power into him and makes him well shielded against the evil plans of Nazar and Bharani.Arjun who metamorphosed into a man with immense Will power and strength takes on the villains with the help of Lord Krishna. How he accomplishes the task is suspense and a must watch on the big screen.
Vishnu as a innocent hero looks average in the film. But his hefty body looks little bit awkward in some scenes. Wonder why he does not make his chest and his stomach slim so that he can be called as a young hero. His body language and mannerisms suits the role to some extent, but that too in close up shots as his body size makes it difficult to digest accordingly with his mannerisms.Nagarjuna as usual looks good as a modern god and adds a highlight to the film. Though he appears only in some shots, but his presence on the screen makes his fans cheer a lot with whistles in the theatre.
Mamtha Mohan Das has nothing much to act, but has a lot to expose by her sexy assets and curves she add the glam quotient to the film and in the songs.Nazar and Bharani act their role with perfection. They act their roles in a professional manner.Mohan Babu is the main highlight of this movie that appears like Shirdi Sai Baba in the movie. Though his role is short he makes a mark in the film.
The Music by MM Keeravani is average. There is no scope to hum any of the song after watching the movie as they are not at all catchy.
On the whole we can conclude that only to attract the audience , the entry of Nagarjuna and Mohan Babu are added as suppose ,if not the theatre would not fill fully on the first day itself.This movie is just going to run for few weeks and that too by the helping hand of the Fan associations. If not the distributors come into dilemma, thinking about how they can recover the losses.
