Story
Pawan
Kalyan is a news reporter in S-TV channel. He interviews
a terrorist in Assam and records the same in a cassette.
But he loses it while saving a girl from bomb attack at
the same place. Tanikella Bharani, the MD of the channel,
gives bad conduct certificate to Pawan Kalyan for losing
the cassette and dismisses from the job. Then Pawan Kalyan
tries to woo Mukhesh Rishi, the brother-in-law of Tanikella
Bharani, who comes from USA to AP. Thus he meets Mukhesh
Rishi with a fake recommendation certificate from Tanikella
to get his sign on it.
But conditions and circumstances lead
Pawan to be with Mukhesh Rishi’s family for longer
time. Mukhesh Rishi possesses two daughters- one is
Meera Chopra and the other is a younger one. Pawan turns
a rescuer and protector of Meera and her sister when
they are attacked by chauvinistic factionists in Kurnool
(Mukhesh Rishi’s place).
Meera loves Raja in USA and wants to
get united with him. But Mukhesh Rishi wishes to get
her married to factionist Ashuthosh Rana’s brother.
Finally Pawan Kalyan accomplishes
his mission by uniting Meera and Raja leaving his professional
goal aside. Rest of the action sequence has to be seen
on screen.
Performances
Pawan Kalyan:
Pawan Kalyan performed with his habitual mannerisms to the
delight of his fans. The scene in which he imitates Mukhesh
Rishi and Meera Chopra deserves a mention as that brings
laughs from audiences. Fights are impressive and dances
are commendable. Performing in a fight by wearing a T-shirt
with Chiranjeevi’s picture brings whistles in theaters.
Meera Chopra:
She performed well through out the film and spilled no glamour
quotient on screen. She was seen with fully covered chudidars
and salwars through out.
Reema Sen:
She added a little spiciness to screen with her hot glamour
element. Little skirts and short shirts on her body gives
visual treat for many audiences. She was good as a colleague
to Pawan Kalyan but has less-role to play.
Comedy Track:
Comedy track by Ali, Venu Madhav and Shakeela is not impressive.
Others:
The 10 year old girl, who acted as younger sister to Meera
Chopra performed well and she was at her best in enacting
pathos. Mukhesh Rishi is good as dignified village head.
Ashuthosh Rana’s portrayal as factionist is arrogant.
Music:
Vidya Sagar’s music is good and choreography added
beauty to songs.
Analysis:
Long-winded dialogues, earsplitting
shouts, ostentatious verbal bombardments and bloodbath on
screen- This is the blend of ‘Bangaram’. Pawan
Kalyan appears to be a hero without a heroine. Meera Chopra
is the one who pairs up with Raja but not Pawan. There is
no love element between Pawan and Meera through out the film.
Pawan is only a rescuer till the end. The final topping after
the climax with Trisha on screen conveys that Pawan Kalyan
pairs up with Trisha, who has no role to play in the film
at all. Well, it’s an attention-grabber at the grand
finale. There are about three item songs in the film. The
most popularly publicized item song on Trisha is not shown
on to the screen.
First half of the film is
blended with humor and little faction element while the second
half turns very serious with maximum bloodshed. The film doesn’t
disappoint the fans, as they wish to see their hero in hyperbole.
It may run well in B and C centers. The censor board gave
‘A’ certificate for the film. But there were many
films earlier which have shown more bloodshed than this and
got tagged ‘U’ certificate by Censor Board. Why
the film got ‘A’ certificate? This is the question
that arises to everyone. There is no obscenity or vulgarity
in the film. The violence part shown in the film is so common
and people got immune to that degrss long back.
