My review: Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum
Krish is one of the most promising young directors of Telugu cinema. His previous movies "Gamyam" and "Vedham" are not only critically acclaimed but also well received at the box-office too. He is a kind of director who addresses contemporary issues without compromising on the entertainment quotient. His latest movie "Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum" (KVJ) fails to live up the standards he has set for himself.
KVJ also address a socially relevant issue of illegal mines and exploitation of the natural resources but sadly it is used just like a pickle. KVJ in actuality is an full blown masala, good old revenge story of the protagonist settling his scores against the killer of his parents, a young man's fight for justice against the mighty antagonist.But the problem is that Krish has totally got confused as to whether make it as a commercial masala or a classy his style of a movie. In the end he has done justice to neither.
A uninspiring storyline, unengaging screenplay, low entertainment values, poor comedy track and irritating item numbers (not one but two..!) leaves a bitter taste in the end. The action sequences lack a punch and the dialogues are mundane.
Rana has done a decent job. His histrionic skills has improved. Nayanthara is radiant, though she is on screen almost throughout the movie she doesn't have much scope to perform. Milind Gunaji in a beaten to bushes villainous role who ends up getting beaten black and blue though he is the most powerful man in Bellary is a big yawn. Brahmanandam fails to make any impact.
In Manisharma's music there isn't any good music number. Background score is good. Technically the movie is sleek and stylish. V.S.Gnanasekhar should get credit for most of it for his brilliant cinematography. CG work however could have been better.
On the whole, KVJ fails to pass muster.
Bottomline: Much ado about nothing.
2.5/5
