Story
Sagar (Bala Krishna) is a forest ranger. Shilpa (Shilpa Shetty)
is the boss of Sagar. Nemali (Anjala Zhaveri) is a tribal
woman. The entire first half of the film revolves around how
Nemali and Shilpa try to impress upon Sagar. In the interval,
a mysterious woman reveals that the forest ranger's name is
not Sagar and he is an imposter.
The
second half of the film starts with the imposter telling about
his flash back. His name is Prabhu and he is a petty thief.
He gets to know a person called Sagar, who is an intelligent
unemployed graduate. Sagar is having a mother and sister,
who sacrificed their comforts to make Sagar become a graduate.
He gets selected as a forest ranger. Prabhu and Sagar become
very close. Sagar's mother falls ill and she needs one lakh
as medical fee. Prabhu arranges the money. He manages that
money by giving a false testimony in court. There by he gets
fixed in the case and gets a life imprisonment. He escapes
from the police and enters the forest where he sees Sagar
brutally injured in a car accident. Sagar asks Prabhu to take
care of his mother and sister.
Since
nobody knows the identity of Sagar, Prabhu joins the job as
forest ranger and tries to improve the life of tribal and
makes sure that the poachers and animal killers are kept at
bay. At the same time, he keeps in touch with the family of
Sagar by pretending as Sagar.
The
rest of the story revolves around how he arranges the marriage
of the sister before fighting in a routine climax.
Performances:
Artists:
Bala
Krishna: Balayya is looking extra glamorous in this film.
His wardrobe is full of variety. And he did full justice to
the role by acting exceptionally well. His dances are very
good in three songs.
Anjala
Zhaveri: She was given a mean role in this film and she
acted well though she did not have enough footage.
Shilpa
Shetty: She too is full of glamour. Her character has
no work in this film other than getting glued to Balayya and
lending him her hand in fights.
Technical
Departments:
Screenplay
& direction: PA Arun Prasad, who has given a blockbuster
'Tammudu' in the past did not show his spark in this film.
The directors who debuted with certain heroes (Pawan Kalyan)
and producers (Suresh Babu and Editor Mohan) need to prove
themselves in outside banners to show their credentials. Except
for the flashback scene, this film does not showcase any directorial
sense.
Dialogues:
Dialogues in this film is a major drawback. The writer did
not exploit the Balayya's image as the best dialogue-teller
of Telugu films.
Music
and Songs: Some of the tunes in this film do resemble
the past work of Mani Sharma. The songs 'Ayyayyo Brahma',
'Rayyi rayyi' and 'Yehi Hain Right Choice' got tremendous
response from the matinee crowds, which has Balayya doing
terrific dances
Production:
The producer seems to have spent lots of money on this film
and it is showing up in all the scenes. But she should have
concentrated more on developing the script.
Analysis:
The first half of the film has nothing to offer except for
a few comedy scenes and three songs. The real story begins
with the flashback and ends with it. This film suffers because
of a weak villain. The hero can be as powerful as the villain.
With a weak villain in the form of Prakash Raj, this director
could not exploit the mass angle of the film. The dealing
of flashback episode is sensitive. Since, the film does not
have any revenge plot and killings, it might not work well
with the masses. We got to wait for a week to know how 'Bhalevadivi
Basu' fares.
