Lets see what Hareesh has in cards for NTR..
Plot: Nandu, a smart and dynamic gets 'attracted' to "Akarsha"(Samantha). He quickly wins her heart and accompanies her to her sisters marriage in Coorg. By then Akarsha's father already has some life threat and continuous death warnings.
Will Nandu able to save Akarsha's father and What's Nandu's mission forms the interval and the second half of the film.
Cast
NTR is king in dialogue delivery and best among his generation. and he just makes us realize with his "DVSK" introduction. He is one of the best dancers we have and he proves it in every song of the movie. He is good in comic timing ... and he manages all the scenes with no big comedians around. And he has track record in "Narakadam", he does that with no mercy in the later half. So NTR just blends what all he can do for Ramayya...
Samantha is getting hotter by each film and she holds that magnetism as "Akarsha" in 'Ramayya vastavayya', She sizzles in minis and her glamorous side is nicely utilized.Sruthi scores equally and looks very lovable as "Ammulu" . Though limited she gets the crucial part.
Mukesh Rishi plays key role in first half and Saikumar's brother Ravi shanker takes over in latest part. Ravishankers voice nicely adds that pinch of villainy. Rao Ramesh plays police and is perfect. kota plays senior villian and once again dies with heart attack.
Heroes friends especially pradeep are very supportive. Popular Bamma Rohini hattangidi has got some energetic role and she has some thing to say about NTR's grandfather NTR.
Both halves...
First half is pretty good. There is a good balance between Action and comedy and romantic scenes. Same time speed and Tempo are maintained. Inclusion of Ilayaraja songs in the romantic thread and mixing the sentiment with "Bamma's" thread everything gets in place. Though few could predict the interval twist , It is good enough to carry the feel while bringing in the popcorn into the theatre .
Second half gets into serious flashback. Sruthi Hassan makes it worth a wait while she is on screen. Though not very innovative.. Hareesh tried to pull it with style. But excessive violence over predictive story here plays spoilsport.Entertainment here takes back seat and forcibly pushes the audience into revenge drama in this half.
Crew
Harish Shanker delivers very decent first half. He creates lot of scenes to elevate NTR's dailogues. And of course dialogues in every scene are good. He concentrated more on action scenes and has given NTR, every sort of weapon in form of "Gadha", Axe and even "Nagali" . But not just the presentation, he should have brought in novel content. As he did not planned a hilarious film, lack of a new story is clearly observed.
Thaman's mass beats are as usual regular. But this time he has given two nice melodies "Jaabilli nuvve cheppamma" and "Eppudaina" .Both are pictured perfectly on screen. Movie looked colorful and should thank Chota K Naidu for that.
Good and Bad
All the positives of NTR for his fans.. and two beautiful heroines and very good first half are plus. Predictive and violent second half is minus.
