Has it been a long time that you have seen a sleazy, sick and perverted kind of movie? Then perhaps 'Mental Krishna' will show you how to go insane without the slightest of inhibitions. Let us show how torturous the film is.
Story
Satya (Satya) is a beautiful daughter of a rich businessman (Giribabu) and her dream to make it to Indian School of Business is shattered when she fails to clear the test. However, she notices that the milkman who supplies milk to her gets an admission. Soon, she falls in love with him (wonder how TOEFL score can be a reason to fall in love) and decides upon marriage.
On the day of the wedding however, the milkman fails to turn up since he gets a personal obligation and decides against the marriage. Meanwhile, Muddu Krishna (Posani) who has an eye for Satya since a while enters the scene as his parents are good friends of Satya's parents and the elders decide to get both of them married.
Satya expects Krishna to be a nice man and compromises with her life. Soon she realizes Krishna is impotent, sadistic and he also has a gay lover bobby (Raghu Babu). Given his sadistic nature, he begins to suspect everything about Satya and embarrasses her in front of everyone. He tortures her to the maximum and then there is a final showdown.
Performance
Posani is the perfect fit for a sadist role and his looks and body language are most suited for this. But the way he appeared in night gowns is nasty and hard to accept.
Satya has shown the oomph in her without any qualms and did not hesitate to do some needless skin show for the role she has been offered. Her image has ruptured completely with this role.
Brahmanandam tried to evoke laughter but it was basically annoying, MS is a natural comedian so that suited him. Giri Babu, Ranganath, Delhi Rajeswari and other senior cast carried out their role mechanically. Naga Babu was usual, Brahmaji was boring. The others did not have much say.
The director has come out with a rather disgusting tale of suspicion woven with a sleazy presentation. The narrative was perverted and the dialogues were utterly disgusting, script was written with an ugly motive and the screenplay was poor. Music was just apt for the situation and the songs are annoying. Editing was numb and other departments need no mention here.
Analysis
Long time back, there was a movie called 'Upendra' starring the Kannada star Upendra. Using the 'filterless' methodology, Upendra started slamming the audience with his whims. Posani seems to have taken a lead from that and taken it to an extreme degree of perversion, his dressing in ladies nighties, talking about hair on women's legs are just a tip of the most pathetic thinking an individual can possess.
One really wonders if the censor board was anywhere present when the movie was given to them. Another major disappointment from this is Satya Krishna, having carried out a very neat and elegant image of her roles, she ended up turning out to be a sleazy side character who would drop clothes and get trampled at the drop of a hat. This is surely a very wrong move for her career. The film by no means is advisable to any class of audience. It is very sad to note that the New Year has begun on such a disastrous note for Tollywood.
Mental Krishna is horrible to watch.
