PANDURANGADU - Just AVG
Balakrishna hits the trumpet of the mythological films with his Pandurangadu. Raghavendra Rao has once again proved that he is a man of mythological era and continues the magic of mythology with his Pandurangadu. He has proved that he the best director in filming the films, which have the divine element in them.
Story
Ranga (Balakrishna) is the spoilt son of the village head, who is the rich Zamindar. The Rich Zamindar’s character is played by versatile director cum actor K Vishwanath. Vishwanath gives his son whatever he wants and spoils him with extra pampering in the house. Ranga who is a careless boy grows up into a charming young man, who is always in the company of ladies. He has the habit to visit Prostitutes and seek their sexual pleasure.
One day Ranga comes into contact with Amritha (Tabu) incidentally. Amritha is a dancer and also a prostitute by profession. With her charm, beauty and oomph she lures Ranga and mesmerizes him with her beauty and makes him a slave to her.Meanwhile, Ranga becomes spell bound to the beauty of Amritha and spends all his time in the company of Amritha.
Vishwanath unable to see his son becoming a slave to the beauty of a Prostitute decides to perform his son’s marriage with a well natured girl. He gets a proposal of Lakshmi’s (Sneha) father. But on hearing the marriage proposal Ranga denies it and starts living with Amritha.
Meanwhile, lakshmi gets a dream of Lord Krishna in which he preaches her to marry Ranga. Under some unusual circumstances Ranga is forced to marry Lakshmi, but neglects her for the beauty and oomph of Amritha.
Under delicate circumstances Ranga even forces his parents along with his wife to make them leave the house. Meanwhile Amritha‘s serves some poisonous food to Ranga in order to steal his wealth, but fails at last. However, Ranga comes in contact with a Muni (Mohan Babu). Ranga changes his path and opens his eyes towards devotion. He then switches over as a family man and totally devotes his time and life in the service of Lord Krishna.
Performances
Balakrishna as usual gives his 100% to this movie. His dual role as lord Krishna and as a common man is applauding and appraisable. His dialogue delivery and acting expressions make us remember his father late NTR. He acts well as a man who is driven towards the beauty of sex and after that, acts well as a man who wants to shrug off his sins and becomes a strong devotee. Balakrishna’s get up ignites a thought that he suits well for the devotional characters as well as for the factionist characters.
Sneha plays a role of a homely girl. She plays the character as the wife of Balaya with ease and gives a convincing performance.
Tabu once again proves her mettle and plays the role of a Prostitute with ease. In some scenes when she mimics the role of a prostitute, she looks well adapted to the role and also looks hot with a sexy and ravishing body. Her costumes are also designed apt to her character.
K. Vishwanth does his job very well. As usual, his role as a father of a spoilt son is well acted and leaves his own mark in this film.
Mohan Babu in a role of a Muni acts well. His role is brief, but is a vital part in twisting the film story line.
LB Sriram plays the character of Narada. His character is well weaved and also manages to bring some tickles in the audience mind. Sunil’s comedy fails to ignite.The songs and the background music is well carved by Mm Keeravani. They meet the devotion component of the film very well and also try to bring out some extra life.Coming to the direction part, Raghavendra Rao tries to press a lot of meaning into the story, but due to the slow pace of the movie, dullness appears in some frames. The other important element which could have been made even better was the dialogues. The dialogues tend to be not up to the mark in the devotional film. But this film is surely not for youth.
Coming to the truth, this film will only run for a few days in some theatres and may just complete its 50 day run. Annamayya which was released almost 10 years ago had an element to attract the youth in it. It has some freshness in the movie. But this movie lacks that luster. Some of the scenes may have been planned to attract the mass crowds like the song of Tabu and Balaya. But it fails to recreate the magic and may also loose the mass audience.
