Movie Review
Ram (Jagapatibabu) is a restaurant owner in Bangkok. Ram leads his life happily with his wife Vidya (Vimalaraman) and adopted son Chaitanya. One day, psychopath killers attempt to molest a female worker at Ram’s restaurant. To protect her, Ram shoots them. This rescue turns Ram a hero before the media. Gurunarayana (Kota Srinivasa Rao) shocks to see Ram who is quite similar to Durga (Jagapatibabu), an arch-rival, who was declared dead long ago. Guru Narayana’s son Shankar Narayana (Kota Prasad) leaves for Bangkok along with their lawyer saab (Tanikella Bharani) to find out whether he is Ram or Durga? When Ram maintains cool despite teasing, Shankar Narayana as a last step kidnaps Chaitanya. This irks Ram and opens up his identity by injuring Shankar Narayana and killing a person just in front of Vidya. Lawyer Saab takes away Shankar Narayana back to India. Vidya deserts Ram as he concealed his identity that he was once a killer and goon. But the Bangkok police officer of Indian origin (Jeeva) convinces her that Durga turned Ram and leading a normal and peaceful life only to keep himself off from bloodshed. Then Ram reveals his flashback to Vidya. At a time when it is going to be a happy reunion, again Gurunarayana’s men attack Ram and his family and Chaitanya gets badly injured. In order to put a fullstop to the bloodshed, Ram decides to go to India as Durga and clear off the rivalry with Guru Narayana. He sends Vidya and Chaitu to the police officer’s house and returns to India. He kills all those who involved in the attack on Chaitu. Gurunarayana gets suspended from the party. He wanted to become the CM at any cost and wants to create law and order problem in the city. At this juncture, Durga’s plan works out well and Shankar Narayana kills lawyer saab. With no one is there to suggest him, Gurunarayana was in a dilemma as to how to save his son Shankar Narayana from Durga. In no time, Durga kills Shankar Narayana. The crooked politician wanted to cash in on the death of his son by holding a hungerstrike demanding action against Durga. In fact, he wanted to flare up law and order problem by killing as many people. As was wished by him there was a lathi-charge and police firing where some people die and Gurunarayana comes to know that Durga was also injured in the hands of one of his own followers. Gurunarayana visits him in the hospital and comes out in open as to how he organized the drama and flared up the passions and got so many people killed in order to shake the chair of the Chief Minister and the party high command. After listening to all this, Durga slowly gets up and shows him that his utterances were telecast live across. Leaving him to his fate and to the people, Durga leaves the hospital. The film ends on a happy note.
PERFORMANCE:
As Jagapatibabu played the role earlier, he doesn’t need a mention about performance. He maintained the same tempo and intensity in this film too, despite the fact that the earlier version was released in 1993 (i.e., almost 18 years ago). The ageing factor however could not be hidden as Jagapatibabu’s aged skin is clearly visible in close-up shots. Performance-wise he did a wonderful job. Vimala Raman is okay in her role. She showed her oomph, and was very romantic in one song with Jagapatibabu. However, the rest of her role is very casual and household woman. She is sensuous and seductive in that song. Kota Prasad is another show-stealer in the film. He was perfect fit to the bill in this film. Kota Srinivasa Rao and Tanikella Bharani gave their best in their usual style. Other artistes including Harshavardhan, Jeeva, Ravi Kale, Ajay did justice to their respective roles.
TECHNICAL:
Cinematography by Anil Bhandari is adequate while editing by Praveen Pudi is impressive. Music by Illarayaraja needs a special mention. Though the background score is excellent, the tunes provided for the songs could have be done better if the maestro concentrated a little more. As a whole, we just can’t judge the music of a maestro. Action scenes by Ram-Lakshman are good to watch. Dialogues are good in parts, while screenplay by Rajendra Reddy is the soul of the film. Generally directors from Ram Gopal Varma school, will bring out either a super hit or super flop films. But Praveen Sri maintained good grip on the story and Rajendra Reddy supported him with perfect screenplay. However, the director should have to use his own brain while bringing out a film. But in this case, it appeared that Praveen Sri straightly lifted a few scenes from a Hollywood film ‘A History of Violence’ to complete the first half. And the second half is almost similar to Gayam. But, he should be complimented for the perfect joining of the original to the sequel as he made use of the original bits from Gayam while narrating the flashback.
ANALYSIS:
The director and producer should be complimented for portraying the present political situation on the screen perfectly and the audiences would definitely equate Kota’s character with KCR in several scenes. Though it is a coincidence, the film had many similarities to the present political turmoil in the state like Telangana stir and others. Though the action scenes in the film are okay, it is just not known what the director exactly wanted to tell the audiences with his film. The adopted son’s fate left in balance and there is no solution to it.
