This is the first time I’m seeing Jr NTR in perfect size and shape. Earlier in Simhadri he was a like a foot ball and then in Rakhi he was alike a jackfruit. And after liposuction, in Kantri he looked like a match stick. But now in ‘Brindavanam’ he is matchless. He looked handsome and perfect. There is ample glow in his face and blow in his body language.
The story in brief goes this way:
Krish (Jr NTR) is the son of a filthy rich man (Mukesh Rishi). His love interest is Indu (Samantha). One day she asks Krish to save her friend Bhumi (Kajal) from an unwanted marriage that’s planned by her father. For which, she carves a plan and asks Krish to go to the village along with Bhumi acting like her boy friend. Krish obeys Indu on force and lands in the village located in Kurnool district. Bhumi’s father (Prakash Raj) is the feudal lord in the area whose step brother (Sri Hari) lives in a village of border district Mehboobnagar. Rivalry burns in between these two. Their common father (Kota Srinivasa Rao) wishes to see their two sons together before he dies. Krish enters the scene and he showers love in the heart of everyone. Entire family members of Bhumi love him, at last her father also loves him and finally Bhumi also falls for his love. Then what happens? Will Krish marry Bhumi? Or Indu? That becomes the climax.
Performances:
Jr NTR is up to the mark without any overdose anywhere. His handsome look and wholesome performance entertains all.
Kajal is glowing with sex appeal while Samantha is hot with photogenic look.
Had there been an intensity added to Tanikella Bharani’s character with more scenes, and had there been length and depth in the characters of Brahmi and Venu Madhav, the film would have entertained into a higher league.
Director Vamsi Palli is supported with all top notch technicians right from Martan K Venkatesh, Chota K Naidu, Anand Sai and Ram Lakshman. And Vamsy seems to have perfectly concentrated on script and hence the result is seen. Production values of Dil Raju are very high and good.
Analysis:
The screenplay of the movie is very interesting and arresting. The comedy of Brahmanandam starts at the fag end in second half that tightens the loose belts of audience.
Although a couple of fights are filled with ‘arava sambar athi’, the hard work is understood. The songs are canned beautifully. Character selection is also very good. Kajal and Samantha performed with healthy competition. The choice of Sri Hari and Prakash Raj is also perfect. No vulgarity can be seen any where. That’s a notable point today.
The songs are really good and choreography is very arresting. The camera work, art department and music are up to the expectations.
To sum up, it’s an entertaining entertainer that can be watched by everyone along with their family members.
Bottom-line: Can be watched
