Story, Screenplay, Direction: Vamsi Paidipally

Jr. NTR’s Brindavanam is one of the most awaited Telugu movies in a long time. It is clear that no other Telugu movie could give Endhiran - Robo a run for at the box-office. Added to this is the fact that Komaram Puli and Mahesh Kaleja have not lived up much to the expectations of the people. Therefore, Jr. NTR’s Brindavanam review and the verdict are the most talked movie of the town.

Another thing to be noted here is the fact that after a few setbacks in the recent past, Dil Raju teamed up with Vamsi Paidipally who earlier directed ‘Munna’ and had failed to create any magic at the box office. But, Dil Raju had faith in him and gave a second chance to Vamsi to direct ‘Brindavanam’ with none other than young tiger NTR in the lead role.

Young tiger Junior NTR fans, who were interested in seeing him playing a role from his uncle Balakrishna’s super hit movies will be delighted with the news that ‘Brindaavanam’ is in line with Balakrishna’s yesteryears movie ‘ Naari Naari Naduma Murari’. The movie featured actress Shobana and actress Nirosha (actress Radhika sister) in the lead, with Urvashi Sharadha playing the role of a mother-in-law.

Story:

The story of the movie goes like this:

Rivals Srihari and Prakash Raj are step-brothers and Kota Srinivasa Rao is their father. Indu (Samantha) is Prakash Raj’s nephew while Bhoomi (Kajal Agarwal) is Srihari’s niece. Krish( NTR) is the son of Surendra (Mukesh Rishi) who is a rich industrialist from Hyderabad. He loves Indu (Samanta) and introduces her to his family and gets green signal for the marriage.

Indu’s best friend is Bhumi ( Kajal) who wants to pursue higher studies in USA, but her father Bhanu Prasad (Prakash Raj) fixes her marriage with Ajay, who is a spoiled brat in the village and also her brother-in-law. Bhumi who is disinterested in marriage lies to her father that she already had a boy friend in Hyderabad. Bhanu Prasad asks Bhumi to get her boyfriend to their village so that they can induce hatred in Bhumi against her boyfriend.

Bhoomi then approaches Indu and requests Krish to act like her boyfriend. Indu convinces NTR to act like Bhoomi’s boyfriend and save her from the marriage. As part of the plan Krish reaches Laksmi Puram along with Bhumi. When NTR goes to the village to set things right for Bhoomi, he comes to know about the rivalry between the two villages, Lakshmi Puram and Venkata Puram. NTR also discovers that Indu and Bhoomi come from same family.

The movie encapsulates how Krish unites Srihari and Prakash Raj and whom he finally gets married to in the end.

Analysis:

‘Brindavanam’ is a complete entertainment package for any movie lover. It has got all the elements of action, drama, sentiment, comedy, musical score and romance in equal measure. Director Vamsi Paidipally has attempted to showcase NTR as a class hero with mass instincts and hook the familiy audiences without hampering his overall image. And we have to say he has just managed to pull things off - only just. Perhaps this is not the best of scripts that NTR has zeroed in, but Brindavanam crosses the rope though NTR’s depiction and performance.

The only problem with the movie is its tempo. You feel as if you are watching two movies - one before interval and the other post-interval. The first half of the movie is all about reuniting the step-brothers while the second half is a triangle love story. The first half of the movie is fast-paced with super action sequences and the drama keeps you engaged at all times with high voltage performances of Prakash Raj, Srihari and NTR. The second half of the movie is slacked with loads of sentiment and family drama and you get a feel as if you are watching an altogether new movie. And the climax is rather peculiar - perhaps something that NTR, DIL Raju and Vamsi Paidipally collectively agreed on.

All in all, although there is nothing new in the storyline, the entertainment elements will draw in the crowds to the theater.

Performances:

Young Tiger NTR is his usual best self and steals the show with his dynamic performance. While Adhurs gave NTR a tinge of comedy disposition, Brindavanam fosters and strengths his roots amongst families as well.  NTR has infused a lot of energy into the character and delivered it perfectly. He has excelled in all the acting departments to the joy of the audience. The action sequences enacted by him are brilliant. But the dance movements are not what you expect from such a popular actor who is known for his dance steps. NTR looks handsome and costumes he dons stand out.

Actress Kajal has a meaty role which had scope for performance and she does an average job of it. She looked glamorous in the song sequences and fits her role.

Samantha is hot, glamorous and oozes a lot of sex appeal that you did not get to see in the Jessie character which she played in her debut film. She carries the character with ease and dominates in her scenes with Kajal. She seems to have a lot of potential.

Prakash Raj is his usual best self as the adamant father. We cannot envision anyone else in this role. Srihari’s role is small compared to Prakash Raj’s, but he justifies it well. Kota Srinivasa Rao as grand father who is instrumental for the movie acted well.

Venu Madahv and Brahmanandam manage to do justice to their roles and draw laughs from the audience. Mukesh Rishi has a very limited role and is wasted. Tanikella Bharani, Ajay, Brahmaji, Ahuti Prasad, Raghu Babu all did their part well.

Technicalities:

Music composed by SS Thaman is awesome but he needs to improve in re-recording. The background score is average. However, the choreography is a big let down. Prem Rakshit and Raju Sundaram have failed to compose steps to match the dancing caliber of NTR.

Chota K Naidu’s camera work is excellent especially in the action episodes. The second half needs a little more editing. The CG and graphic works were reasonably good, but surely Marthand K Venkatesh, the editor could have done a better job particularly in the second half of the movie.

The dialogues in the movie are superb. Fights by Ram Laxman are the highlight for the movie. Andad Sai art work is outstanding and the house sets in Brindavanam are beautiful.

Undettered by his first failure, Vamshi Paidipally has proved everyone that he has the skills to deliver a hit.  Vamshi has chosen a family entertainment script and added mass masala in the right composition. He would have scored more marks had he concentrated a little more on the screenplay. 

Highlights:

Dialogues by Koratala Ravi veru very Good

Art work by Anand Sai is Cool

Koratala Ravi deserves a good mention for writing sensible dialogues through out the movie.

Music by Thaman is good on screen when combined with the visuals. 

He is very good as a lover boy and a lovable son. 

Cinematography by Chota K Naidu is excellent. 

Production values by Dil Raju are good very good.

Fights by Ram-Laxman really Good

This Movie is up to NTR to get a range for the movie.

Mass-Family Entertainer.

Final Word:

All said, Brindavanam is a conventional family script, customized with some peppy and romantic tracks making it an average film. While Brindavanam might not necessarily be on the same lines, the idea of exchanging boyfriends is purely dramatized and cinematic – perhaps but practically impossible. 

The Rs. 32 Crore budgeted film is a mix of Simhadri and Bommarillu. Even though the title gives an impression of a soft film in the offering, Brindavanam has all the commercial elements and these have been included in the film because the script requires them.

You can watch the movie with your complete family to get 2+ hrs of Guaranteed Entertainment.

Brundavanam Movie Rating : 3.25/5
