Varun Tej Resembles Daggubati Rana. Rana got a good start though Leader. Did Varun Tej get? I don't think so.

StoryLine :

A young stud stands up against Municipal Chairman for repeatedly attempting to warn/kill his best friend.Did he win? Did he lose?

MainStory :
As a Tollywood hero, you are meant to win the race! It just that how you win the race is the story of the movie.

Arjun - Mukunda are 2 best friends. Arjun loves daughter of Chairman's brother. Chairman's son knows about this and attacks Arjun. Mukunda Saves him and warns the goons to never ever touch his friend Arjun or they will face his wrath.

Arjun is seen with his lover, fights ensue with Mukunda showing his muscle power. Then and there you will be seeing Prakash Raj reciting dialogues which are actually very good. 'Loving India, Democratic India, Romatic India, Fighting India' - Some of the themes of the dialogue!

After interval Elections are scheduled to happen. Mukunda wants to show Chairman that people may flash that they like you but it is not entirely true!. Mukunda selects Prakash Raj as the candidate and ever changing pricey Onions as election symbol. Another significance of Onions is his father is a Onion trader.

Onion wins the election and chairman to avenge his defeat - tries to marry off his brother's daughter and chairman's son tries to kill Arjun. In both incidents, as you know - Mukunda turns the tide.

Plot&Movie Review :

The plot is usual. All through the movie, surprisingly Hero and heroine never talk to each. By the way, Heroine is chairman's daughter and Mukunda taunts chairman by speaking out 'Your daughter is very beautiful'. The movie is good in patches. Scenes involving Mukunda and Rao Ramesh are very good. Rao Ramesh using science in politics is kind of eccentric to what we see in the movies. Scenes involving Prakash Raj are good too. Those dialogues are well written. Mukunda did not have many emotions to show. One serious face all through the movie. Bad for him. His next film will again look like a debutant film.

What the movie misses terribly is - Comedy, bad editing, poor screenplay and usual story. Directors when they are going to direct a newcomer. They may not be knowing the actor completely. So it is good time to experiment. And new comers too, irrespective of the image movie is going to give them, they have to try something new. Its my view.

Technical :

I somehow did not feel the movie is rich in color. Even the camera looks hazy, it did not capture the moments properly. You can see the noise in the movie. Movie is poorly edited, probably less time to edit as it was scheduled to be released as Sankranthi release.

Director Addala, owner of the story, dailogues and screenplay, did his worst job in all the 3 films till now. I usual wait to hear the final dialogue of the director at the end of the movie, this time I was not interested at all.

Movie Fact : After watching the movie, I cant say it is one time watch.
