Baladoor Movie Review
Cast:
Ravi Teja, Anushka, Superstar Krishna, Chandra Mohan, Brahmanandam, Pradeep Rawat, LB Sriram, Sunil, Subba Raju, Parachuri Venkateswara Rao and many more.
The film opens showing Ravi teja in his usual style as a mass hero. But afterwards gets into a shade of a family entertainer with lots of sentiment and hi drama is induced into it. Ravi Teja is seen as a man with errands in this film. The natural vigor and exuberance of Ravi Teja gets omitted in this film to a large extent. The director brings in his wits to carve this subject into a strict family entertainer with some light Charisma of Anushka. Some sequences depict the shades of Ravi Teja’s previous hit ‘Badra’
Story
Chanti (Ravi teja) grows up in the house of Peddanna (Krishna), as his mother dies in his childhood. His father Chandramohan is like a patron to the family and so Ravi teja and his father Chandramohan worship Superstar Krishna as the godfather of their lives.
Peddanna (Superstar Krishna) is a rich and well famed proprietor of a construction firm RK Builders. He is well settled in the business and earns wealth and name from the society.
He always helps the people who are in need and always serves them financially or materialistically. This good deed in him makes Pradeep Rawat his family enemy. He hates Peddanna’s (Krishna) good deeds and always finds ways to suppress him.
The reason for Pradeep Rawat’s hatred towards Peddanna (Krishna) is due to a well explained flash back. Pradeep Rawat during his young Days Rapes a young girl in a village. As a result Krishna as the head of the village gives him a punishment to vacate the village. From that day the hatred seed grows in the heart of Pradeep Rawat and Peddanna (Krishna) is always made the target to be suppressed.
Meanwhile, Chanti loves his Peddanna (Krishna) very much and obeys his each and every word and saying. More than his father Chanti respects Peddanna in such a way that he lives for him and also dies for him.
Peddanna’s family is always a target to Pradeep Rawat’s evil deeds. The troubles are projected in all ways towards Peddanna, but the cleverly aged person evades each one carefully.
Due to an unfortunate incident, Ravi teja is misunderstood by the whole family and his father Chandramohan drives him away from the family and the home. Incidentally, Bhanumathi (Anushka) enters Chanti’s life in a railway station. She gets attracted to the innocence and dynamism of Ravi Teja and so falls in love with him.
Meanwhile, Ravi teja takes the total responsibility of Peddanna and his family on his shoulders. He shields them from the evil plots of Pradeep Rawat and his goons. However, he losses his father Chandramohan in this process. But Chandramohan realizes before dying that his son is now a well matured, wise male who can handle precarious situations very well. He gets satisfied and looses his soul.
The rest of the story is about the plots of Pradeep Rawat against Peddanna and how Chanti saves the lives of Peddanna and his family. All ends happily in the end.
Performances
Superstar Krishna is the highlight in this movie. His dynamic appearance as the village head makes the audience happy. With a well weaved role, Krishna exhilarates in the lengthy Character. The matured performance of Krishna and his well matched impeccable acting skills are truly a highlight in this movie.
Ravi Teja, attracts the masses in the first half of then movie. But due to the twits and turns the second half role of his, becomes serious and classy. However, his usual masala romance with Anushka is well maintained through out the film. The pair looks comfortable on screen and some romantic scenes and rain songs are mid blowing.
Anushka has turned into a sizzling hottie in this film. The extra flab around her wait has been drained out and so the seductive actress looks sexy in every frame. Especially her rain song wearing a bikini sized costume will definitely heat the pants of her male fans.
Chandramohan has lived up his role in style and has justified to his character by his impeccable acting.
The comedy track is lead by Brahmanandham and Co. The scene in which Brahmanandham breaks the coconut is hilarious. Adding to this Sunil who plays the role of a best friend to the hero supports the comedy track well.
Coming to the music part, the tunes are not so catchy. But the choreography is worth mentioning. They are well filmed in the camera and the dance steps and the actress costumes add the fizz to the songs.
On the whole the director Uday Shanker brings in comedy, sentiment, romance and action under one roof and also succeeds in doing so to a large extent. The story of the film replicates the films which released in the seventies genre.
The film will be a treat for Ravi Teja’s fans and since the weekend is packed with holidays the movie may gets some investments. It is a movie which can run for 50 days. And if the superstar and Ravi teja Fans determine, then it may cross the 100 day barrier.
