Brindavanam – Movie Review

Background: Warner Brother Inc, one of the leading international film houses has joined hands with Dil Raju’s Sri Venkateshwara Creations to produce the film titled 'Brindaavanam' with a budget of Rs 45 crores and a band of prominent actors in Telugu film industry like NTR, Prakash Raj, Srihari, Kota Srinivas Rao, Brahmanandam, Ahuti Prasad and Raghu Babu. Dil Raju with his continuous flops after ‘Kotha Bangaru Lokham’ is now banking heavily on NTR and his die hard fans.

Story:  Prakash Raj and Srihari are step brothers. They are two big guys in a village and both of them are rivals. Samantha and Kajal are cousins from the Prakash Raj and Srihari families. Kajal stays in Village, but Samantha relocates to City for her studies. Junior NTR lives in the same City. In an incident, NTR helps Samantha and they both become friends.

Meanwhile, Kajal's marriage is settled with someone whom Kajal does not want to marry. So, she asks the help of Samantha. Samantha tells the whole story to NTR and asks his help. NTR enters into the village with the intention to stop the marriage using some clever tricks. While doing that, he fixes many issues in the village and finally he makes both Prakash Raj and Srihari to stop their rivalry and they all join together at the end. NTR marries Kajal or Samantha? Let us keep that part suspense for now.

Minus Point: The story doesn’t clearly establish why the step brothers actually fought. It also isn’t clear why in the climax Krishna has to choose between the two girls, while he never has any feelings towards the other girl at all! The director depends entirely on the comedy track in the second half, because most of the plot has is revealed in the first half. However, the comedy makes the difference to the film as we wait for a hurriedly treated climax.

Technical Background: Music by SS Thaman is pretty good, but re-recording is only good in parts. May be he could have done a better job. Camera work by Chota k Naidu is commendable and the locations were also appealing. The camerawork by Chota k Naidu was great during the action episodes. The CG and graphic works were reasonably good, but surely Marthand K Venkatesh, the editor might have had a tough time. Surely the second half needs more editing.

Analysis: The movie is filled with lots of Comedy and some good action scenes. NTR is targeting the family audiences may be for the first time. Kajal and Samanta’s glamour, good comedy, heart touching family emotions and sentiments, superb and timely direction of Vamshi, cool and refreshing music are unique positives while routine story, length of the movie.
