Story
Rana Daggupati who earned acclaim with his debut film ‘Leader' is still searching for hit after his films ‘Nenu Naa Raakshasi' and ‘Naa Ishtam' bombed at box office. Rana chose the successful director Krish who not only give entertainment, but also sends sublime message through his films. Krish created lot of buzz with the title and made this as bi lingual in Telugu and Tamil. The film released all over the world in record number of theaters.
Babu (Rana) is an artist in Surabhi Theater formed by his grandfather Subhramanyam (Kota). Babu wanted to leave the profession and go to US for higher studies as the theater artists' future is bleak. But, Subhramanyam requests his grandson to perform one last show in his native Bellary and dies. Babu decides to fulfill his grandfather last wish before he leaves for US.
Babu and his troop goes to Beallary to give show where he bumps into journalist Devika (Nayanatara) who is making a documentary on Reddappa ( Milind Gunaji), a mining mafia don. A small tussle between Reddappa henchman Syda and Babu leads into a rivalry between them. When Babu tries to dig deep into Reddappa background with the help of Devika, Babu comes to know some stunning facts about his parent's death.
Who is behind Babu parents death and how Babu freed the locals from mining mafia don forms the crux of the story.
Performance
Rana showed ease in the acting compared to his previous movies. His physique best suited for the action scenes, but need to improve a lot in dances.
Nayantara role is not promising and didn’t etch well. Milind Ganaji best suited for the role as antagonist. Kota Srinivasa Rao is brief. Murali Sharma is wasted. Ravi Prakash appears in a less prominent role.
Brahmanandam, Raghu Babu and Rajesh tried their best to evoke laughs. Posani entertained the audience with his typical mannerism and dialogue delivery.
Two items songs by Sameera Reddy and Hazel Keech are not impressive and big speed breakers in the movie. Venkatesh appears in the fag end of the item song with Sameera.
Technical
Director Krish who is best known for his screenplay ran out of ideas in second half. The first half is promising with director connecting all the characters well with the social problem. But, second half is big letdown with ordinary screenplay. Director didn’t etch the characters well.
Music is average, but background score is very good .Cinematography is good. Action scenes are commendable. The plus point for the film is dialogues. They are entertaining yet thought provoking. There are few scenes which can be easily avoided.
Analysis
Krish who gives entertainment with an undercurrent message failed miserably in the movie. The movie takes of well protagonist appears like taking on social issue, but director deviated the subject and concentrated on revenge drama. The whole second half is nothing but a revenge drama with loose screenplay and predictable climax.
On the whole, ‘Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum’ chances at the box office are bleak. This movie will become another flop in Rana’s list.
