Firstly lets wish our “Kotta pelli Koduku” Gopichand, happy
married life and then now get ready to know more about his latest adventurous movie
“Sahasam” and check out if his lady has really bought some luck this time. “Sahasam”
is directed by Chandrasekhar Yeleti who is known for some very special movies
like “Aithe”, “Anukokunda oka Roju” “Okkadunnadu” etc.
Plot: Goutham (Gopichand) a security guard, who always
dreams to be rich is every time hampered by his ill fortune. But one fine day
he comes to know about the diamonds hidden by his grandfather (Suman) in
Hinglaj Devi temple in Pakistan. He comes across Srinidhi(tapsee), a ardent devotee who
is going to the temple.
It begins as a normal search and ends up as life adventure
due to huge Kanishka treasure associated with it and our hero need to fight
with a terrorist gang headed by Sultan( Shakti Kapoor) along the way to his
goal.
Actors
Goutham’s character has a definite ambition and superb guts
and the Gopichand with such macho image perfectly suits the bill. His one dialogue
“ naadi kanidi koti rupayilaina nenu korukonu… naadi anedi arda rupai ayina
nenu vadulukonu” sums it all and he goes to any extent to achieve that. Gopichand
has been passing through rough patch in his career due to some wrong choices he
made. Sahasam should be definitely one nice one to pick up. He is lucky enough
to work with such a nice director twice now.
Tapsee has a nice role and she delivers good act.
Ali is fine and provide slight comic relief especially when
the entire film lacks that section. Shakti Kapoor is adequate as Sultan and brings
some freshness to the role of villain. Surprisingly Tollywood never bothered
about this senior most actor so far. Suman is good. A lady who played Saira and bearded assistant
of Sultan gets noticed.
Sahasam – An awesome adventure true to its name…
He is not a silly director to just bring the things on
screen for the sake of it. Chandrasekhar does adequate homework and he never disappoints
his section of fans this time too. He just spares an half an hour for
introducing the hero and heroine and gets into groove from there on very
quickly.
He cleverly connects the treasure with the ordinary security
guard,Uses the heroine to bring him to Pakistan . Every action sequence is
perfectly blended into the story and are shot extremely good. He stores more
thrilling moments of treasure hunt towards the end. The last 30 minutes of
actually the final and actual Treasure hunt is superbly executed with good
puzzles and nice CG work.
Chandrasekhar Yeleti kudos and wish your dream of making
films with Pawan and Mahesh become true sooner.
Technically brilliant…
For a splendid Sahasam, It demands a fabulous team. Sham
dutt's lens effectively captured Ladakh and scenes in last half hour are
perfect. Stunt masters designed superb action sequences. Few liberties are of
course taken. See for example if hero’s every bone is crushed when villains beat
him, It would be nonsense if he takes rest in hospital for a week and moreover,
we actually expect to fire back immediately. The horse episode should have been
linked to main story, but that actually gives way to only duet in film.
Sri, who worked for some RGV movies like "Money" series and also for some good movies "Little soldiers" before has given superb
background score. You can actually feel it for important scene. He deserves
more work.
No Brahmanandam and No item song… :(
Oh man, how can they miss these two essentials… Especially Brahmi
lovers get suffocated for sure. And Mumaith khan admires will be disappointed…:)
Finally …
These kinds of stories are seen in Indiana Jones series and
of course we too had movies like Anji and Takkari Donga in recent times.
Chandrasekhar has tried his best to bring us Hollywood style adventure. He sticks
true to the script and left no stone unturned for genre of this film.
Hopefully all sections of audience accept this grand
adventure
