Balayya is coming with Veerasimha Reddy after the blockbuster "Akhanda" and the stupendous success of "Unstoppable" season 2. Director Gopichand Malineni also is coming after a blockbuster "Krack" with Raviteja. Myhtri Movies associated with NBK for the 1st time.
Story :- Jai (NBK) is a businessman in Istanbul who lives along with his mother Meenakshi (Honey Rose). He once accidentally meets Eesha (Shruti Hassan) and she likes Jai. Eesha's father wants to meet Jai's parents to talk about marriage. Meenakshi decided that it is time to tell Jai about his father, Veerasimha Reddy. He is the protector of Pulicherla in Rayalaseem, whom people see as God. Bhanumati (Varalaxmi) and her husband Pratap Reddy (Duniya Vijay), try to kill Veerasimha Reddy multiple times to take their revenge. What is their enemity ? Were they successful ? Why is Meenakshi staying from Veerasimha Reddy? Forms the rest of the story.
Performances :- Balakrishna as Veerasimha Reddy is a perfect fit and he nails it. Costumes, antics, dialogues, were well designed. As a younger role of Jai, he was misfit, should have been given to some younger hero. Varalaxmi as Bhanumati gets a meatier role and she has a done a good job, though on climax it feels a bit overboard. Shruti Hassan is there only for songs and has very limited role. Honey Rose has a bigger role as a mother and as girlfriend in flashback. She did a decent job. Duniya Vijay is a fresh face as a villain and he gets repetitive after half of the film completes.
Technicians :- Action episodes for father character were well designed and executed. The length of the fights could have been reduced. Songs by Thaman are fine, background score is good. Dialogues were good in some parts. Screenplay could have been more effective with lesser runtime. Director should have taken care of the same.
Positives:-
Balakrishna in father role
Varalaxmi performance
Action episodes
Couple of songs
Negatives :-
Too lengthy
Too many fights
Slow narration
Repetitive villain attacks
Summary :-
Story has all the elements for a commercial success, however too many fights, lengthy dramatic scenes hamper the proceedings.
Rating - 2.75/5. Exclusively for Balayya fans.
