Aravinda Sametha
Story :
Veera Raghava
The movie starts with the death of the hero’s
father, considering the unfortunate loss that NTR
junior went though, w can only imagine the kind of
emotional exhaustion he must have gone through.
A few minutes into the movie, Veera Raghava
(Jr NTR) arrives in a train at his native, where
violence has become a way of life. The train is
stopped far away from the station anticipating an
attack on him from the rival group-led by Obaa
(Jagapati Babu). The rivalry between the two
gangs began about 30 years ago over a gamble
gone sour.
The source of the bottomless vengeance that has
cost lives for at least three generations is Rs 5.
Obaa was short of Rs 5 to settle the money he lost
in the gamble. His playmate runs his mouth and
146
gets beheaded. The incident leads to a series of
killings and the enmity grows stronger as Obaa
and Narappa slaughter each others father.
Analysis :
Though the movie gets a little preachy at times,
the message received is clear.it explores topics
such as values of life and gives relevance to
emotions. Babu and Aravindha , have both
performed really well. The movie could have
been a bit more succinct to have a more profound
impact, but the message is clear.
Final Word:
Trivikram’s fascination for mythology lends well
with the theme and the treatment scores over his
indulgence this time. And Thaman’s evolution as
a composer truly benefits the film. The movie is
emotional camouflaged as something commercial,
overall a different offering and something that
you can enjoy and think about atleast once in the
theatre.
